The launch mission failed, reportedly due to a second-stage separation failure. If confirmed, this will inevitably impact the progress of the ZQ-3 program.
China's Space Program Thread II
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
First Deep Blue Aerospace, now this. Its shaping up to be a rough year for China's space industry. I wonder if we will see any progress towards VTVL at all this year. Last year they reached 10km on two separate occasions.
Until today it was ZQ-3...
Video (albeit pretty shaky and not catching the whole thing) of the failure.
Let’s shift to some good news: The CZ-10 first-stage static fire test was a success!
Translation:
Today, China successfully conducted a tethering ignition test of the Long March 10 (CZ-10) series launch vehicle at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, achieving complete success.
This marks yet another critical milestone in the development of China’s crewed lunar exploration program, following the: Zero-altitude escape test of the Mengzhou crewed spacecraft and Integrated landing/takeoff verification test of the Lanyue lunar lander.
