University of Tokyo and two other organizations will launch satellites on Interstellar Technologies' first ZERO rocket

Interstellar Technologies' first ZERO rocket will launch seven customer satellites, including three newly added ones from Japan and the US. The new customers are the University of Tokyo's CSRI, Fulton Science Academy, and Lothan Space, all developing educational CubeSats. This brings the total to eight payloads, including a demonstration payload. This is unusual for a first-time launch, which typically focuses on demonstrating launch capabilities, not carrying paying customers.
