TOKYO, Japan - A handout photo shows a part of the engine pipes of Japan's satellite-bearing H-2 rocket that crashed after takeoff in mid-November. It was found Jan. 5 by a deep-sea probe machine on the Pacific seabed near the Ogasawara Islands. The object, which lies on the seabed 2,913 meters down, was photographed by the search machine ''Deep Toe'' from the mother ship Yokosuka, belonging to the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center.
