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.”
The company, also known as Beijing Tianbing Technology, said no one was injured in the Chinese rocket crash.
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.
