There are reports that the payload has nominally separated. Waiting for confirmation....
Thanks to the situation from the very first post of this long thread, the Chinese now has 2 of the 3 small sat LSP private start-ups that made it to orbit from the 2010s and beyond:
* @RocketLab (NZ-USA) Jan. 2019
** iSpace (China) Jul. 2019**
** Galactic Energy Nov. 2020**pic.twitter.com/ioigFANslo
This is the payload on this flight, Tianqi-11 LEO communication/data-relay comsat and 9th in orbit of its series: https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/tianqi-10.htm … T-0 was at 07:12 UTC.pic.twitter.com/INawNd4WQ8
Unlike most Chinese SRM launchers so far (but like iSpace's Hyperbola-1) the Ceres-1 is launched from a simple "stool" not unlike how the @northropgrumman Minotaur-C is launched.pic.twitter.com/5ZIzRKibEE
These photos show various sides of the Chinese commercial spaceflight market: * The Tianqi-11 satellite on this launch & mission logo from the sat manufacturer * Commemorative chips for this 1st launch on the upper stage * JSLC director Zhang Zhifen signing launch documentspic.twitter.com/c5UTb4Nvsf
That is some cerious engineering to make it to orbit on its first try!!
Can we consider Pegasus as a private micro-launcher?
I consider it as one, but it's from 1990.... I mainly asked that question with respect to the recent small satellite launchers boom everywhere for the past few years, but with so few managing to pass the finishing line so far.
*Jan 2018 for @RocketLab, not 2019.
Rocket lab made it to orbit Jan 2018, not 2019
succeed on the first flight? that's very poggers
