What JAXA just did with H3 rocket is BETTER and HUMILIATED Blue Origin after after SpaceX H3 rocket | Japan’s brand new rival to SpaceX Falcon 9 and even humiliated Blue Origin In the space race, not only the big names: U.S, China and Russia, but Japan is a powerful competitor. Japan has a long history of launching orbital rockets, dating back about half a century. During much of this time, its launch industry has focused largely on orbiting national payloads, such as communications, global positioning, and Earth-observation satellites for sovereign purposes. However, with the H2-A rocket introduced in 2001, the country's launch industry sought to tap into the commercial launch market and send satellites into space for other countries and private companies. With this medium-lift rocket, which is about on par in lift capacity with SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster, Japan had some commercial successes, including the notable launch of the Emirates Mars Mission in 2020. But the H2-A rocket, which is manufactured by the Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has never really broken through. One reason is cost. At a launch price of approximately $90 million, the H2A rocket is about 50 percent more expensive than SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. As a result, Japan's H2A booster only launches a handful of times per year, primarily serving the Japanese government. This problem was already clear nearly a decade ago, so the Japanese space agency, JAXA, greenlit the development of the next-generation H3 rocket. As it developed the new vehicle, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries focused on cost. The goal was to sell the H3 at $51 million per launch in its base configuration. With a lower price, Japan envisioned doubling its launch cadence from about four to eight missions a year. What JAXA just did with H3 rocket is BETTER and HUMILIATED Blue Origin after after SpaceX
