🚀 Earlier today, the CERES-2, a privately-developed commercial carrier rocket, lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Chinese mainland's northwest region at 12:08 p.m. Beijing Time. Excitement was high as this was the rocket's maiden flight test.
But shortly after launch, engineers detected an anomaly during ascent, and the rocket failed to complete its mission. Details on what went wrong are still under investigation.
Maiden flights carry risks, and even the biggest names in aerospace have faced similar setbacks. For young pros and space enthusiasts, this reminder comes loud and clear: innovation often involves learning from early missteps. We'll keep you posted as the investigation unfolds. 🚀✨
