Nips are launching a 3kg cubesat in one hour.
It's a modified sounding rocket. Whole program only cost like $3.5 mil. World's smallest orbital rocket!

fisheye lens on camera to fake the curvature of the Earth no doubt.

It's so cute
Jaxson Rodriguez
Who thinks this'll work?
Benjamin Jackson
sounding rockets are a proven design. Then again, the Super Strypi failed last year, so who knows. Japs are pretty good at making rockets you know.

Stream is up! 30 min

I'm one of the students which takes part in the European REXUS programme and use a similar rocket to shoot our universities' experiment 100km high. AMA
Christopher Rivera
Why are you a faggot?
Samuel Gutierrez
thanks user.
isn't there a spacex launch today too?
let's space elevator this shit
Christopher Reed

Nathan Scott
you need to go low sometimes to get high another time
Jeremiah Carter
This is cool but shouldn't it be discussed on instead? Why should Sup Forums care?
Logan Lewis
Why the fuck is it saying all the posts were a day ago?
Tyler Howard
the conquest of space is inexorably tied to nationality and political will. This is part of the reasons both the Nazis and Soviets took early leads in rocketry.
If Trump is a nationalist it's almost certain his presidency will be marked by a higher-profile space program-- just as the last few globalist presidencies were marked by NASA becoming a global warmism center and greatest killer of astronauts on the planet.

20 min to launch
"take picture of earth"
nice
Matthew Foster
small rocket, small dicks
John Torres
I get all that but it's Japan, they send rockets up all the time
Leo Cox
Where do they launch from?
I would assume somewhere in the deep south of japan but the US military bases in that area cant be happy with that.

whatever that island is
Dominic Sullivan
Why would that be a problem for us?
Carson Cooper
Further north than I expected. I was thinking they'd be closer to okinawa.
Military bases usually don't like larger kinetic projectiles being launched in their vicinity.
Joshua Thompson
5 min!
Sebastian Sullivan
Do you think there is even a marginal risk of pearl Harbour 2.0?
Austin Evans
the trajectory
Gavin Bell
We take the same precautions with our own launches.
It's less about a deliberate attack and more about misidentifying threats. I imagine missiles are especially touchy in that area what with the norks constantly throwing tantrums.
Thomas Morris
Japan is an ally. This launch isn't a military mission. This wouldn't be a concern nor any of our fucking business.
Kevin Thompson
see Launches are way more controlled than you guys seem to think.
Gabriel Lewis
WOOOOOOOOOO
JAPAN CAN INTO SPACE

tracking estimation
we will know if it worked in about 90 min

The Japs are still Incest-ridden subhumans.
Benjamin Hughes
Daily reminder: It's established flat earthers are shills only diluting and confusing people on the subject of Antarctica and Hollow earth.
They infiltrate threads and try to start arguments about nonsense.
Eli Martin

Lincoln Foster
norks cant
hahah
Connor Rodriguez
No way can that thing reach orbit
