Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launches X-ray satellite and lunar lander

Japan launched a lunar exploration spacecraft on Thursday aboard a homegrown H-IIA rocket. The $US100 million ($156 million) mission is expected to start the landing by February after a long, fuel-efficient approach trajectory. Japan's lunar mission comes two weeks after India successfully landed its craft on the moon's south pole.
