Japan successfully launched a rocket on Friday carrying seven micro-satellites that were created to be the world's first artificial meteor shower. Epsilon-4, a 26-meter-long rocket, was developed by a Tokyo-based startup company. The first of the experiments is planned to take place in the spring of 2020 over Hiroshima.
