Hold onto your space helmets! 🚀 Beijing-based Galactic Energy just marked another milestone in China's booming private aerospace sector with the successful launch of its CERES-1 Y10 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on March 17.
Mission 'Auld Lang Syne' Takes Flight
At 4:07 p.m. Beijing Time, eight satellites—including the Yunyao-1 55-60 and AIRSAT-06/07—soared into a 535km sun-synchronous orbit. The poetic mission name nods to both tradition and innovation, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge tech.
Why It Matters
This launch cements the CERES-1’s track record: 17 flights and 71 satellites delivered to orbit since its debut. 💫 Galactic Energy’s rise mirrors China’s growing private space ambitions, challenging global players like SpaceX and Blue Origin. Think of it as the 'Squad Goals' of aerospace! 👩🚀👨🚀
With young engineers and investors driving this sector, could this be the dawn of Asia’s space-tech renaissance? Stay tuned! 📡✨
