When the satellite fails to enter into the orbit, then it will get destroyed automatically.

BTW, it wasn't the fault of the satellite, but the second stage of the rocket.

Oh I see what you meant.

Yep, when both rocket engine and satellite don't have the malfunction, then China doesn't have to make a reassessment, but the launch can be redone after the error of the second stage has been fixed.

How long does it take to make another Gaofen-10 satellite?

I don't know the exact period, but probably it won't take very long make another one.

How sure are you of this information? Rumor has it that it was a failure of the third stage to restart.

Anyway, definitely not the first stage.

So far, CNA has no announced any failure. CNA usually will announce even failure after 10hrs.

This launch maybe on a secret mission which super satellite can orbit and enter into correct course by itself

 

[Dungeness]

Wow... they attempted a launch within a month? They are aggressive.
Learn from the failures and move on. It is after all rocket science!

Actually, this was the 4th launch in the last 30 days, 13th launch in 2016.

But apparently the US satellite tracking system failed to detect any satellite.

If US tracking is so good, it shall be able to track where it goes.

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

The US satellite tracking system only announces objects in orbit. That there has been none new added means that the satellite or parts of it never entered orbit, and would most probably have re-entered Atmosphere.

Again Your wishfull thinking !?

It's sad but anyway a fact ... and I think we should always stick to the facts even if we don't like them.

Honestly, the problem most likely occured on the third stage of the rocket. The debris of the first stage means nothing.

My post was not related to question any so far discussed cause and surely not meant to bring a first-stage failure back on the table but only to Beast's posts ... I hope he meant his post with sarcasm !
