In May, Beijing-based OneSpace Technologies became the first private Chinese spaceflight company to send a rocket into space, launching its relatively modest 9-meter (30-foot) OS-X for a test flight that ended with it falling back to Earth. China's iSpace has become the country's first private company to carry a satellite into space, after its SQX-1Z rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre with a payload of three devices. Two of the satellites are set to be released into orbit for testing, while the third will return to Earth. The launch was originally scheduled for last week, but it was delayed due to bad weather in China.
