China's private space sector is making waves—literally! 🛰️ Galactic Energy, a rising star in commercial spaceflight, just successfully launched four satellites into orbit from the ocean—a move straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster. 🎬

Dubbed 'Beautiful World,' Wednesday's launch saw the CERES-1S rocket blast off from a mobile platform near Shandong Province. The payload? Four Tianqi Constellation satellites now orbiting 850 km above Earth, boosting global IoT connectivity. 🌐
Why Sea Launches Matter
Sea-based launches aren't just cool—they're strategic! 💡 Galactic Energy's CERES-1S can adapt to flexible launch points, cut costs, and reduce risks for small satellite operators. Think of it as Uber for space missions. 🚀✨
What’s Next for Galactic Energy?
This marks their second sea launch, proving their tech is no one-hit wonder. With plans to expand low-cost satellite deployment, China's private space race just got a turbo boost. 🚀🔥
