    • Here is an English Translation of the Full Apology by China's Pioneer space to the local residents that had the failed rocket.  Space Pioneer has released a formal apology to local residents near its Gongyi test site.  In English: Dear Gongyi residents, all counterparts and the general public: We would like to apologize most sincerely to the public who support and pay attention to our company for the incident that happened on June 30th, in which a sub-stage rocket of our company's Tianlong-3 Liquid Launch Vehicle fell down and caught fire due to a test fault, and we have failed to live up to everyone's expectations. The test site is far away from Gongyi city, before the test started, our company has improved the safety measures with the local government and organized the evacuation of the surrounding people in advance. The falling arrows were scattered in the safety control area deep in the mountains, which did not cause any casualties, but still caused unnecessary troubles and negative impacts on the lives of the residents around the test site. We feel immensely remorseful for this and would like to express our sincere apologies to the people of Gongyi City. Our company started the emergency response mechanism in advance on the day of the test, and is now cooperating with the local government to carry out the investigation, appraisal and compensation for the damaged houses in the neighborhood. We will ensure that every resident who suffered property damage due to the test failure will receive timely, efficient and fair compensation. (end part 1 of Translation to English)  Since its establishment, Tianbing Technology (Space Pioneer) has been committed to the innovation and breakthrough of aerospace technology. We are fully aware that behind every challenge to scale new heights, there are huge risks and uncertainties. We will learn a lesson from this loss and put "safety first" into practice in our future production work, taking the safety of people's lives and properties as the highest starting point, and comprehensively strengthen the safety management to ensure that the subsequent test work is safe and rigorous and foolproof. Gongyi residents and people from all walks of life are welcome to supervise and check the implementation of our safety guarantee work, and put forward valuable opinions and suggestions! At present, China's commercial aerospace science and technology is developing rapidly, and the progress made by our company can not be separated from the unity, efforts and struggles of the whole industry, the whole nation and the whole society. The setbacks encountered by our company will provide valuable experience for our commercial space industry to move forward. Here, we call on our peers and allies to be united and work together to contribute to the progress of China's commercial space industry. Finally, we would like to express our sincerest apologies to all those who have been affected by the failure of the test! We look forward to continuing to receive your support, understanding and attention in the days to come! Tianbing Technology (Space Pioneer) July 2, 2024
