		</div><p>A rocket being developed by the Japanese space agency has exploded during testing, but there are no reports of injuries.</p>
<p>The cause of the accident at the facility in Akita prefecture is still being investigated, said the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa).</p>
<p>It is unclear when testing for the Epsilon S rocket will resume.</p>
<p>Japanese TV news footage from the site shows the test starting normally, with white smoke shooting out at the side.</p>
<p>About a minute later, flames and grey smoke burst upwards in an explosion, and the roof is seen being blown off a building.</p>
<p>The failure is a setback for Jaxa’s ambitions to enter the launch market for small satellites.</p>
<p>An Epsilon S demonstration launch had been scheduled for this fiscal year, but an attempt failed in May.</p>
<p>Jaxa’s launch of another kind of rocket called H3 failed in March, but an earlier Epsilon worked and managed to send several satellites into orbit.</p>
