China also felt a huge shock in space, the rocket failed a minute after takeoff


Beijing, Ta. 11 July 2020, Saturday

China's bad days have begun after a feud with India for no reason. After retreating to the ground, China has now suffered a major setback in space as well. A Chinese commercial rocket failed a minute after takeoff, destroying two of its satellites. One of them was for a satellite video sharing site while the other was for a navigation system. The incident has cost China crores of rupees in one fell swoop.

However this is not the first time. A total of three Chinese rockets have failed this year. The first Long March 7A rocket failed in March and the second Long March 3B rocket failed in April. Along with that rocket, Indonesia's N1 communication satellite was also destroyed. It is learned that China launched the Quizhou-11 rocket from the Jiuqua Satellite Center in northwest China at 12:17 pm on Thursday. That rocket had two satellites. One of the satellites was built for a video sharing site and the other was a centispace-1-S2 satellite installed for navigation.

Through Kuaizhou-11, China wanted to be the king of commercial launches, but its dream has now been dashed. The Kuaizhou-11 failed just minutes after takeoff, destroying both of its satellites. The Centispace-1-S2 was a low-Earth orbit navigation satellite and was built by Beijing Future Navigation Technology Co., Ltd. However, the exact cause of Kuaizhou-11's failure has not yet been determined.
