Chinese rocket falls: China launched an astronomical satellite to capture gamma-ray bursts that flash like fireworks at the farthest reaches of the universe. The satellite, which was sent into space on Saturday, is the result of nearly 20 years of work by scientists from China and France. However, a part of this jointly launched satellite fell on the residential settlements on Earth. Due to which an atmosphere of chaos was created among the people. People started running here and there. The video of this incident has also surfaced. Chinese officials, on the other hand, say that their mission was a success and the spacecraft has settled into its orbit.
On Saturday, a Long March 2-C rocket carrying a satellite launched jointly by China and France exploded. A part of it fell on Earth in a residential area.

However, Chinese officials declared the mission a success, and confirmed that the satellite is the most powerful satellite ever launched and successfully entered orbit. According to the China National Space Administration, the satellite’s mission is to study astronomical phenomena, including gamma-ray bursts.
