In a dazzling display of innovation, Galactic Energy—one of the leading private aerospace companies on the Chinese mainland—has impressed the world by completing two commercial launch missions within just five days!
The latest mission saw the CERES-1 Y17 rocket blast off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, sending six satellites (Yunyao 43-48) into a 535-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit. 🚀
These satellites are a key component of the Yunyao constellation, a project spearheaded by Tianjin-based Yunyao Aerospace. The ambitious goal? To establish a global network of 90 commercial meteorological satellites that will power real-time atmospheric and ionospheric monitoring for partner countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Galactic Energy has now marked 18 successful launches and delivered 77 satellites into orbit, reinforcing its top position in the competitive private aerospace sector on the Chinese mainland.
This rapid pace highlights not only a breakthrough in commercial spaceflight but also paves the way for smarter weather forecasting and enhanced global connectivity. The future of space exploration is here—faster, smarter, and more connected than ever before! ✨
