Get ready for liftoff! On Sunday at 11:33 a.m., the Lijian-1 Y8 rocket soared into the sky from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
This mission carried three satellites: one from Pakistan’s space program and two provided by AIRSAT, a commercial satellite solution provider. Together, they marked a milestone in the Chinese mainland’s burgeoning commercial space industry. 🌌✨
The launch shows how partnerships across borders and private firms are reshaping space exploration. From cutting-edge tech to new data services, these satellites promise to boost communications and earth observation capabilities. 📡🌍
For young space enthusiasts and future space entrepreneurs, this is just the beginning. Keep your eyes on the sky—more exciting missions are on the horizon! 🚀😎
