Chinese satellites heading to Moon fail
Context
A pair of Chinese satellites (DRO-A and DRO-B) failed to reach a planned orbit on their way to the moon after experiencing abnormalities, a rare setback for Beijing's high-profile space programme.
About
- The satellites, DRO-A and DRO-B, were carried by A Yuanzheng-1S (Expedition-1S) upper-stage aircraft, attached to a Long March-2C carrier rocket.
- The first and second stages of the rocket operated normally, while the upper stage encountered an abnormality during flight, causing the satellites to fail to enter the preset orbit accurately.
