Chinese-Brazilian Satellite Fails to Enter Orbit.
BEIJING December 9, 2013 (AP)

A satellite jointly developed by China and Brazil failed to enter orbit after the rocket carrying it malfunctioned after launch on Monday, state media reported.

The high-resolution remote-sensing Ziyuan I-03 satellite was launched aboard a Chinese Long March 4B rocket in northern Shanxi province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Citing unidentified military sources, Xinhua said Chinese and Brazilian experts were analyzing the cause of the malfunction.

China has a range of Long March rockets for use in commercial launches.

Earlier this year, a Chinese space program official said the country was looking to increase its share of the global commercial satellite launching business from 3 percent to 15 percent by 2020.

The gold body of CZ4B was broken after its 19 success launches. from 2010 to now, CZ rockets failed 2 times among 62 launches. 4 launches during the past 19 days are true challenge, and there will be another 2 launches in the 20days left of 2013

That is not a good news.

Best wishes for the next attempt.

Space officials said a malfunction in the servomechanism and second-stage venire motors apparently caused the failure during the second flight phase.

VERY NORMAL.
There's no 100% launch success, we need check the success rate.

Long March 4B
Read English ↓

It was first launched on 10 May 1999, with the FY-1C weather satellite, which would later be used in the 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test.

The Chang Zheng 4B experienced its first launch failure on 9 December 2013, with the loss of the CBERS-3 satellite.

CZ-4B (Chang Zheng-4B)
Since 1999 CZ-4B rocket's 21x launch, only one fail

Brazilian satellite CHEAP !

Ok, so what's the big deal? Why is it Earth shattering news? Equipment can fail. Nothing in this world is 100% fail proof.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Sometimes it makes me wonder, does satellites manufacturers have some sort of insurance against launch failures and other disasters?

 

[Glorino]

Bad news for China and Brazil after successful launches-Long March Rocket is a proven workhorse

 

[HunterKiller]

So what's the big deal....?? Any machine can malfunction ... Machines do malfunction ....

Everybody learns from failure ....
