星河动力空间科技有限公司 Galactic Energy-  Galaxy Power (Beijing) Space Technology Co., Ltd.Located in Block D, Aviation Technology Plaza, E-Town, and Beijing – Beijing – China – People’s Republic of China ….Galaxy Aerospace is the first private aerospace company in China to achieve successful continuous launches, the first to send commercial networked satellites into a 500km sun-synchronous orbit, and the first to master the ability to launch multiple satellites with one carrier rocket

At 18:18 Beijing time on December 19, 2024, Galaxy Power Aerospace successfully launched the Apocalypse Constellation 04 Group (33-36 satellites) from the offshore launch platform near Rizhao using the Ceres-1 Haiyao-4 carrier rocket. This launch is the 249th space launch in the world in 2024, the 66th in China, the 7th this month, the 5th for Galaxy Power Aerospace, and the 5th for the Ceres-1 carrier rocket

Five, four, three, two, one, ignition!” On the evening of December 19, in the waters near Rizhao City, as the shore broadcast issued the launch command, the “Ceres-1” carrier rocket standing on the Haiyang “Oriental Spaceport” launch ship ignited its engine, huge clouds of smoke rose around it, and it slowly lifted off with the “Apocalypse Constellation” (stars 33-36). The tail flames from the rocket engine instantly illuminated the night, a huge roar resounded through the sky, and cheers from tens of thousands of spectators on the shore rose one after another. This is the second sea launch mission implemented in the waters near Rizhao after May 29.

At 18:18 on December 19, 2024, the Galaxy Power Aerospace Ceres-1 Sea-launched (Yao-4) (mission code: LOONG) successfully launched the “Apocalypse Constellation” 04 satellites (33 to 36 satellites) in the sea
near Rizhao, Shandong Province. A total of 4 satellites entered the low-Earth orbit with an altitude of 850km and an inclination of 45°. The big red screen and mission badge “Apocalypse Constellation” is China’s first low-orbit Internet of Things communication constellation. The first phase consists of 38 satellites. 33 have been launched so far. It has the characteristics of global coverage, miniaturization, low power consumption and low cost. It provides global users with “air, space, land and sea” consumer-grade satellite Internet of Things data services, which have been widely used in forestry, agriculture, emergency response, and tourism.

Tourism, water conservancy, electricity, petroleum, ocean, ecological environment, smart cities and other industries as well as digital economy scenarios are moving towards the direct-connected satellite market for consumer electronic products.

This mission is the fourth sea launch mission completed by Galaxy Power Aerospace Company. It is also the fifth time that the Ceres-1 series of launch vehicles has launched networking satellites for the “Apocalypse Constellation” (Yao-1, Yao-5, Haiyao-1, Haiyao-2, and Haiyao-4). This marks that as the only private rocket type that can take into account both land and sea launch platforms, the Ceres-1 series of launch vehicles has achieved flexible regional and orbital adaptability and high-density launch capabilities, and can quickly meet the launch needs of different satellite users to the greatest extent. Up to now, Galaxy Power Aerospace Company has successfully carried out 15 commercial launch deliveries, accurately sending a total of 58 commercial satellites with different functions into the predetermined orbits.

❶The 66th launch of China’s space program in 2024 (64 successful launches)

❷The 16th launch of the Ceres-1 carrier rocket (15 successful launches)

❸The 4th launch of the Ceres-1 sea-launched carrier rocket (4 successful launches) ❹The 14th launch of the Oriental Spaceport of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center (14 successful launches)

❺The 147th launch of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center (141 successful launches) ❻The 36th launch of China’s civil and commercial space program (29 successful launches)

 ❼The 639th launch of China’s space program (604 successful launches)

Currently at the moment中國製造 Expace Technology Corporation- a CASIC -China aerospace science and industry corporation has been very busy in building a New Carrier Rocket Factory in Wuhan National Aerospace Industrial Base in which the base will be in operations in May 2020   Kuaizhou Rocket Industrial Park that forms the manufacturing of twenty plus more Kuaizhou Rockets also its other sister larger carrier rockets in process of The assembly test capability of 20 solid launch vehicles……in which is now in operation……

At 17:43 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time on Saturday September 20th , 2024, at the Xichang Launch Center in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province , China, People’s Republic of China , the “Kuaizhou-1A” solid-fuel carrier rocket carrying four communication satellites of the “Apocalypse” constellation 29 to 32 was launched, successfully sending the satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO).

The 29th to 32nd satellites of the “Apocalypse” constellation are low-orbit satellite IoT communication satellites developed by Beijing Guodian Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. The “Apocalypse” constellation is built and operated by Beijing Guodian Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. It consists of 38 satellites and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. It will achieve an average revisit frequency of 1 time/10 minutes worldwide. The constellation aims to create a global low-orbit satellite IoT ecosystem that integrates the earth and the sky, and open up a new situation for satellite IoT consumer applications.

“Kuaizhou-1A” is a small launch vehicle launched by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. It adopts a four-stage tandem configuration, with solid power in the first, second and third stages and liquid power in the fourth stage. The rocket is about 20 meters high and has a maximum diameter of 1.4 meters. It can be equipped with a fairing with a diameter of 1.2 meters/1.4 meters. The takeoff mass is about 30 tons and the takeoff thrust is 60 tons. Its low-Earth orbit (LEO) capacity is 300 kilograms, the 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) capacity is 250 kilograms, and the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) capacity is 200 kilograms. The liquid last stage of this rocket has the ability to ignite multiple times and can perform multi-satellite launch missions in different orbits. In this mission, this type of rocket has greatly shortened the position process time through technical optimization, further improving product reliability.

 Since its successful maiden flight, the Kuaizhou-1A rocket has carried out a total of 27 launches, 25 of which were successful, making it China’s solid-fuel carrier rocket with the most launches and the most successes. Since the successful launch of the Kuaizhou-1A Yao 23 rocket on June 22, 2022, the rocket has achieved 13 consecutive victories.

This launch mission is the third launch of the Kuaizhou-1A rocket in 2024, the 14th launch from the Xichang Launch Center, the 43rd launch in China, and the 173rd launch into orbit in the world. From the launch of the Long March 3B at 09:14 on September 19 to this launch, China’s space program has carried out three launches within 33 hours, opening a high-density launch mode.
