This is the best summary I could come up with:
The space rocket of a Chinese private company crashed and exploded into flames near a city on Sunday, after it accidentally launched during a test.
Video footage from the incident published by Chinese digital media outlet The Paper showed the rocket soaring straight up into the air before losing power and turning horizontally, falling back down to earth and exploding into flames on nearby forested hills.
Parts of the rocket stage were scattered within a “safe area” but caused a local fire, according to a separate statement from the Gongyi emergency management bureau.
Many started making satellites while others including Space Pioneer, focused on developing reusable rockets that can significantly cut mission costs.
The test sites of such companies can be found along China’s coastal areas, located by the sea due to safety reasons.
But some are also sited deep in the country’s interior such as Space Pioneer’s test centre in Gongyi, a city of 800,000 people in the central province of Henan.
