[China’s 4th Launch This Year] At 04:10 AM Beijing time today, the Ceres-1 sea-launched Y7 carrier rocket successfully launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the sea area near Shandong Province. The Tianqi Constellation 06 group of satellites carried by the rocket successfully entered their predetermined orbits, marking a complete success for the flight test mission. This mission was the 23rd flight of the Ceres-1 carrier rocket!
[Ceres-1 Sea-Launched Y7 Carrier Rocket Successfully Launched] At 04:10 Beijing time on January 16, 2026, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China successfully launched the Ceres-1 sea-launched Y7 carrier rocket from the sea area near Shandong. The rocket carried the Tianqi Constellation 06 group of satellites, which successfully entered a low Earth orbit at an altitude of 850 km and an inclination of 45°. The flight test mission was a complete success. This mission marked the 23rd flight of the Ceres-1 carrier rocket
.
This is an enhanced satellite launch following the successful global networking of the first phase of the Tianqi Constellation launched by the Ceres-1 sea-launched Y5 rocket on May 19, 2025, and the sixth dedicated rocket launch since the Tianqi Constellation began large-scale networking. With this satellite launch and networking, the Tianqi Constellation will enter a new stage of large-scale application and ecosystem collaboration in domestic new satellite communication services, bearing the important mission of jointly developing and strengthening China’s satellite Internet of Things industry with industry customers.
The “Tianqi Constellation” is China’s first low-Earth orbit (LEO) IoT communication constellation, and its first phase of global networking has been completed. The Tianqi Constellation features global coverage, miniaturization, low power consumption, and low cost, providing global users with consumer-grade satellite IoT data services across air, space, and sea. It has been widely applied in digital scenarios across various industries, including forestry, agriculture, emergency response, tourism, water conservancy, power, petroleum, marine, ecology, and smart cities, and is now moving into the direct satellite connection market for ToC consumer electronics products such as automobiles, handheld devices, and wearable devices .
