The mission was a partial failure due to a problem in the YZ-1S upper stage during the flight, that prevented the satellites from accurately entering the intended orbit. Tracking data appears to show China is attempting to salvage spacecraft initially intended for the moon but left stranded by a rocket stage malfunction. [130] They appear to have succeeded in reaching their desired orbit. [131] [132]

Falcon 9 is a partially reusable, human-rated, two-stage-to-orbit, medium-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured in the United States by SpaceX. The first Falcon 9 launch was on 4 June 2010, and the first commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched on 8 October 2012. In 2020, it became the first commercial rocket to launch humans to orbit. The Falcon 9 has an exceptional safety record, with 425 successful launches, two in-flight failures, one partial failure and one pre-flight destruction. It is the most-launched American orbital rocket in history.

Falcon 9 booster B1058 was a reusable Falcon 9 Block 5 first-stage booster manufactured by SpaceX. B1058 was the first Falcon 9 booster to fly fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen times and broke a turnaround record on its later flights. Its first flight was for Crew Dragon Demo-2, on 30 May 2020, the first crewed orbital spaceflight by a private company. The booster was the first and only Falcon 9 booster to feature NASA's worm logo and meatball insignia, the former of which was reintroduced after last being used in 1992. The booster was destroyed several days after successfully landing on the autonomous spaceport drone ship Just Read the Instructions on 23 December 2023. B1058 toppled over as the drone ship sailed toward Port Canaveral in rough seas.
