JAPAN-SPACE-SATELLITE

Japan's H-2A rocket, which carries the Himawari-8 weather satellite, soars into the space from the Tanegashima Space Center, Kagoshima prefecture, in southwestern Japan in a bid to improve the accuracy of weather forecasts related to natural disasters. The successful launch comes the day after a typhoon strafed Japan and just over a week after a volcano killed more than 60 people when it erupted without warning.
