When in the Rocket business, 2 in-fight blow ups in a row is not a trend you want to continue.

Aug 10, shortly after lift-off of the 18th mission of China's Long March 7A rocket, the vehicle exploded. The Long March space launch system has been flying since 2020. China has not released any details.

Long March 7 is a three stage vehicle with the first two stages powered by kerolox-refined kerosene RP‑1 and liquid oxygen (LOX), and the third stage is powered by hydrolox - liquid hydrogen (LH₂) and liquid oxygen (LOX).

This recent failure follows a previous failure in Jan 2026 of a Long March 3B rocket. This failure was identified as a third‑stage anomaly that prevented the satellite payload from reaching its intended orbit. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/chinese-rocket-explodes-less-than-90-seconds-after-liftoff #China #Space #LongMarch7A #Rockets #RocketLaunch #Satellites #SpaceLaunch #LongMarch3A
