At 7:39 p.m. Beijing Time, the Chinese mainland's CERES-1 carrier rocket fired into the sky from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. A spectacular late-night launch lit up the horizon as the rocket roared into orbit 🚀🌌
Onboard were three satellites: Kaiyun-1, Yuxing-3 08 and Yunyao-1 27. They successfully reached their preset orbits and are set to work on tasks like weather monitoring, Earth observation and more, marking another milestone in commercial space operations on the Chinese mainland.
This latest mission shows the growing strength of the Chinese mainland's commercial space sector and its push to make space more accessible. For young space fans, entrepreneurs and explorers alike, CERES-1's success is a reminder that the final frontier is closer than ever. Keep watching the skies – you never know what's coming next! 🌍✨
