A rocket owned by Chinese aerospace company Space Pioneer crashed after being accidentally launched during a test in China on Sunday, June 30, 2024.
The Tianlong-3 rocket crash-landed into a hillside in central China’s Henan province before exploding.
Space Pioneer said in a statement: “Due to the structural failure of the connection between the rocket body and the test platform, the first-stage rocket was separated from the launch pad.

“After lift-off, the onboard computer was automatically shut down, and the rocket fell into the deep mountains 1.5 kilometres south-west of the test platform.
“The rocket body fell into the mountain and disintegrated.”

Tianlong-3, considered a potential rival to SpaceX’s Falcon 9, is a large liquid carrier rocket designed to help construct China’s satellite internet network, dpa reports.
