Remote-sensing satellite fails to make it to orbit
A SATELLITE jointly developed by China and Brazil failed to enter orbit after the rocket carrying it malfunctioned after launch yesterday.
The high-resolution remote-sensing Ziyuan I-03 satellite was launched at 11:26am aboard a Long March 4B rocket from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the northern Shanxi Province.
Citing unidentified military sources, Xinhua news agency said Chinese and Brazilian experts were analyzing the cause of the malfunction.
China has a range of Long March rockets for use in commercial launches.
Earlier this year, a Chinese space program official said the country was looking to increase its share of the global commercial satellite launching business from 3 percent to 15 percent by 2020.
