The Zhuque-2 mission was China's first launch of a commercially developed liquid-fuel rocket.
The world's first methane-fueled rocket to be launched toward orbit has failed to reach its goal.
The Zhuque-2 rocket, developed by Beijing-based company Landspace, lifted off Wednesday on the first-ever orbital mission of a methane-fueled launcher and China's first liftoff of a commercially developed liquid propellant rocket. Despite the high hopes for the historic mission, it appears that Zhuque-2 failed to reach orbit and lost the 14 satellites it carried.
The launch took place at China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert at 3:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday and was intended to place a variety of commercial satellites into sun-synchronous orbit. According to reports, however, the rocket's second stage failed, resulting in a mission failure and the loss of all satellites. China's space agency has yet to issue an official statement about the launch.
