A privately funded Chinese firm has achieved a new feat of the orbital launch of satellites using a rocket developed by iSpace. At 1 pm local time, iSpace's Hyperbola-1 rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, sending 2 satellites and payloads into the predetermined orbit. In last October, Beijing based Landspace attempted to deliver a satellite into the orbit, but that mission failed.
