JAXA postpones QZS-7 satellite launch due to weather.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has rescheduled the launch of its MICHIBIKI No. 7, Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZS-7) satellite. Originally set for August 7, the launch aboard the H3 Launch Vehicle flight No.9 is now planned for August 10, 2026. The postponement was attributed to adverse weather conditions, specifically Typhoon T2613 (Dolphin). The precise launch time for the new date will be announced later.
