[TECH]Japan to Develop Reusable Rocket Technology

Japan will begin the development of reusable rocket technology for our H-III Rocket. This will allow us to cut the cost of launches from $3 billion down to $500-700 million which would consist of the reconditioning and refueling cost for the rocket. With the future of Japan increasingly looking towards the stars, this is an important step for our nation and space industry.

We will spend $1.1 billion on this project with a development time of 3 years.
