Well Galactic Energy had a press release today...that they have just closed out Series A round funding of CNY ¥200 million and that their Ceres-1 is flying "soon". ...uh nothing to see, carry on... http://www.galactic-energy.cn/index.php/Show/cid/11/aid/92 …

This launch is apparently now on Nov. 7. Payload is the Tianqi-11 LEO comsat to a 500 km SSO - several in the series already launched since 2018. https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/tianqi-1.htm … And they apparently follows a certain NZ-USA LSP's footsteps in naming this launch "I believe I can fly".

...and here comes the proof that Galactic Energy is following
@RocketLab's idea of naming launches, with this one being "I Believe I Can Fly".
The rocket's parameters in the photo are the same as those on their official website, in English: http://www.galactic-energy.cn/index.php/En/List/cid/14 …pic.twitter.com/iBNkjUNMOt

Launch should be happening around now. Sadly unlike even Alaska (
@johnkrausphotos ahem) I don't think anyone filming in the Gobi Desert are able to post them online right now.2 Antworten 0 Retweets 5 Gefällt mirDiesen Thread anzeigen -

Someone might be able to pinpoint the launch pad from this photo (presumably the same one as for most new solid rocket launchers out of there)pic.twitter.com/cCp1DZnLYC

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: *

Antwort an @Cosmic_Penguin @RocketLab
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.

Antwort an @Cosmic_Penguin @RocketLab
Yeah that's true. Super Stripy, Rocket 3, Launcher One, ZhuQue 1, OS-M... Some of them will never reach orbit.
