Beijing Tianbing Technology Co said on Sunday that the first stage of its Tianlong-3 rocket under development had detached from its launch pad during a test due to structural failure and landed in a hilly area of the city of Gongyi in central China.
There were no reports of casualties after an initial investigation, Beijing Tianbing, also known as Space Pioneer, said in a statement.
