WENCHANG, China Aug 10 (Reuters) – A Chinese rocket appeared to break apart shortly after liftoff from the Wenchang space launch site in southern China on Monday, according to Reuters witnesses.
An article published by China National Radio’s online outlet said China had launched the Zhongxing-4B, or ChinaSat-4B, satellite aboard a Long March 7A rocket from Wenchang. The report later became unavailable.
China’s space authorities did not immediately announce the outcome of the mission.
