ISLAMABAD: China successfully launched SQX-1 solid commercial carrier rocket into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwest station at noon (Local time) on Friday.
The launch will verify the overall program of the rocket and obtain flight data. It was the fifth flight mission of the SQX-1 commercial carrier rocket to space.
China is ambitious in its space program, accelerating and developing it for years.
Rocket in last year
Last year, China successfully launched the Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, sending an experimental satellite into preset orbit.
The launch, the fifty-third for the Long March family that year, marked the first time that launch vehicles developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation delivered over fifty successful missions in a year, sending over 140 spacecraft into space with a 100% success rate.
The record has laid a solid foundation for the country to become a strong global space power.
