中国“快舟” 11火箭的首次发射以失败告终
赫尔辛基—
周五，中国新型“快舟11号”商用固体火箭的发射以失败告终，导致两颗卫星损失。
快11号飞机于东部时间上午12:17从位于中国西北部酒泉卫星发射中心的运输安装发射器发射升空。
延迟流发射的录像表明，火箭至少在一分钟内表现良好，第一阶段和第二阶段分离的非正式报道。
中国媒体的简短报道指出，失败的具体原因正在“进一步分析和调查中”。
第一个有效载荷是由长光卫星有限公司为中国视频共享网站Bilibili开发的吉林1号视频卫星。
Changguang Satellite
is a commercial offshoot of the state-owned Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The second satellite
was reported to be CentiSpace-1-S2 (Weili-1-02). The previous satellite in the series was for low-Earth orbit navigation enhancement, developed for Beijing Future Navigation Technology Co., Ltd.
The debut of the Kuaizhou-11
was initially projected for 2018. Footage published by CCTV in 2019 suggested an explosive failure during first stage engine testing.
The mission
was China’s 19th launch of 2020, following the successful launch of the APSTAR-6D communications satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit Thursday.
China has suffered three failures this year.
These were the debut launch of the Long March 7A in March, a new launcher which may replace the aging, hypergolic Long March 3B.
The latter launcher failed in April resulting in the loss of the Indonesian Palapa-N1 communications satellite.
