TAIKI, Hokkaido: Japanese startup Interstellar Technologies Inc. said Sunday that it has postponed the launch of a small observation rocket until at least Tuesday for technical reasons.

Interstellar was scheduled to launch the Momo-5 rocket in Taiki, Hokkaido, northernmost Japan, on Sunday.

It is set to become the first Momo series rocket to be launched in winter.

The Taiki-based company aims to mass-produce and commercialize rockets.
