iSpace Launch fail: Ever since private companies have started coming into the space sector, its productivity has increased. America’s SpaceX is the biggest example. SpaceX’s rockets are successfully completing space missions. The company has also moved towards making the world’s heaviest rocket. But not everyone is SpaceX. China’s iSpace’s space missions are constantly failing. iSpace’s recent failure came last week, when one of its rockets could not reach its destination.
According to SpaceNews report, iSpace’s seventh Hyperbola-1 rocket took off from the cSatellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert. It was flying with an ‘unnamed’ payload in Earth’s orbit, but could not reach the target.
iSpace wrote in an update that the first, second and third stages of the rocket flew normally, but the fourth stage was working abnormally, causing the launch mission to fail. The company has said that after a detailed investigation, it will tell why the mission failed.
The Hyperbola-1 rocket had a successful launch in July 2019. But this rocket failed in the next three missions, which flew in February 2021, August 2021 and May 2022. Its flight was successful in April last year. However, no payload was present in it then. In its sixth flight in December last year, Hyperbola-1 delivered a satellite into orbit. But now this rocket has failed once again.
In recent times, rockets of many private companies have failed. Last month, another Chinese company, Space Pioneer’s rocket accidentally launched and crashed into a nearby hill. SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket also faced problems last week. Due to a defect, it failed to deliver 20 Starlink satellites into orbit.
