Got your space goggles? 🚀 On Tuesday at 3:33 p.m., a Lijian-1 Y10 rocket thundered off the launch pad in northwest China's commercial aerospace innovation pilot zone. This exciting blastoff marks the eighth flight of the Lijian-1 series, and of course, it nailed its mission!
All seven satellites onboard have safely reached their planned orbit. Among the floating payloads are two small but mighty friends from Mexico: ThumbSat-1 and ThumbSat-2. These pocket-sized satellites are ready to study our planet and share data with curious minds across the globe. 🌎
This launch highlights the rise of commercial space ventures in China, opening doors for international partnerships and fresh discoveries. Whether you're a space nerd, investor, or just love epic adventures, keep your eyes on the skies—there's more lift offs coming soon! 🌟
