A China-based private space company failed to send a satellite into space via its self-developed carrier rocket on Wednesday. After lifting off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China at 17:39 BJ time for dozens of seconds, the four-stage solid propellant rocket with its Lingque-1B satellite left a complicated trajectory in the sky as it failed to escape gravity.
