[i]Liftoff from the coastal Wenchang Satellite Launch Center occurred at 10:34 a.m. Eastern. Launch was initially confirmed by images and footage shared online by distant spectators. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., (CASC), which developed and manufactured the rocket, typically announces launches following declaration of mission success. Similar mission profiles are usually announced to be successful around an hour after launch, but no announcement was made. State news agency confirmed failure just under two hours after launch, with no cause nor nature of the failure stated. An investigation into the anomaly will follow.[/i]
