Chinese Long March 7A Rocket Fails and Explodes Shortly After Launch from Wenchang

A Chinese Long March 7A rocket failed and exploded shortly after lift-off during a launch from the Wenchang space center on Hainan Island on August 10.

State media attributed the failure to an “in-flight anomaly,” though further details were not immediately released.

The incident marked the rocket’s first failure since its maiden flight in March 2020, according to Reuters.

The Long March 7A is part of China’s next-generation launch vehicle program designed for low Earth orbit missions.
