Japan's space agency on Monday postponed the planned launch of what it hopes will become the first Japanese spacecraft to land on the moon due to strong, high-altitude winds.

Japan and the United States says want to put the first Japanese astronaut on the Moon as the allies deepen cooperation on space projects. No non-American has ever touched down on the lunar surface, and Japan has previously said it hopes to achieve a Moon landing by the end of this decade.

Russia will send Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa to the ISS in a move marking Moscow's return to the now booming space tourism business after a decade-long break.
