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

[The Ceres-1 sea launch adds 6 more satellites to China’s space program! ]

At 13:22 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time on August 29th Thursday, 2024, on the “Dongfang Spaceport” sea launch ship in the Yellow Sea, the “Ceres-1” sea-launched Yao-3 carrier rocket carried six small optical remote sensing satellites, including “Yunyao-1” 15-17 satellites, Jitianxing A03 satellite, “Suxing-1” 01 satellite, and “Tianfu Gaofen-2” satellite, and sent the satellites into a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at an altitude of 535 kilometers.

The “Ceres-1” sea-launched carrier rocket is a small solid-fuel carrier rocket. The arrow is about 20 meters high, 1.4 meters in diameter, with a takeoff mass of about 33 tons and a capacity of 300 kilograms in a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at an altitude of 500 kilometers.

The Ceres-1 sea-launched rocket was developed by Beijing Galactic Energy. It is an adaptive improvement on the Ceres-1 standard rocket. It is a four-stage small rocket with a four-stage tandem configuration. The first, second and third stages use solid power, and the fourth stage uses liquid power. The rocket is about 20 meters high and 1.4 meters in diameter. It has a takeoff mass of about 33 tons and a takeoff thrust of 60 tons. Its altitude is 500 kilometers and the sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) has a carrying capacity of 300 kilograms.

Since its successful maiden flight on November 7, 2020, Ceres-1 has carried out 15 launches, 14 of which were successful, with a success rate of about 93.33%. Since the successful launch of the Ceres-1 sea-launched Yao-1 rocket on September 5, 2023, Ceres-1 has successfully carried out three consecutive sea launches, leading the way among private commercial aerospace companies.


This launch mission is the fourth launch of the Ceres-1 rocket in 2024, the third launch in the Yellow Sea (Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center), the 38th launch in China and the 156th orbital space launch in the world. At the same time, this launch is also the fourth marine space launch in China and the world this year.

Beijing Zhongke Aerospace Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. is the first domestic aerospace enterprise with mixed ownership, and it is also the target enterprise that Oriental Aerospace Port focuses on introducing. Relying on the scientific research strength and resource advantages of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Aerospace Flight Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Aerospace Science and Technology has been committed to the research and development and integration of space technology and aerospace vehicles as a platform for the transformation of major national scientific research projects, as well as the transformation and provision of technological achievements. Aerospace launch service. The Lijian-1 rocket project also adds a brand-new name card to the Oriental Space Port, which will surely promote the construction of the Oriental Space Port to take a solid step forward.

[Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has been successfully delivered and will soon carry out its fourth launch mission]

 The launch ceremony of Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle was successfully held at the China Science and Technology Aerospace Industrialization Base. Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has completed all pre-delivery tasks according to the process and successfully passed the factory review. It will carry out the “one Carrier rocket, five satellites” launch mission at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in late September. This is also the fourth launch mission of this type of rocket. This batch of launched satellites is mainly used to provide remote sensing information services…

Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has been successfully delivered from the factory –
China Science and Technology Aerospace News; Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has completed all pre-delivery work according to the process. After testing, the product functions and performance indicators meet the flight mission requirements and have successfully passed the factory review. It will carry out the “one rocket, five satellites” launch mission at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in late September. This batch of satellites is mainly used to provide remote sensing information services.

Under the pulsating production mode, the Lijian-1 Yao-6, Yao-7, and Yao-8 launch vehicles are carrying out mass production and final assembly in an orderly manner. The products, equipment, instruments, tooling, etc. involved in the entire process have been planned in advance. Deployment, production tasks are clear, and production and assembly can be started simultaneously in the final assembly and testing plant and intelligent manufacturing plant. It is worth mentioning that the Zhongke Aerospace Industrialization Base currently has complete structural cabin manufacturing and assembly capabilities. Starting from the Lijian-1 Yao-5 launch vehicle, the manufactured cabins will be directly used and delivered for final assembly, further shortening the production and manufacturing cycle. .

As China’s first medium-sized rocket to achieve high-density launches and the record holder for multiple satellite launches in a single launch of Chinese commercial rockets, the Lijian-1 carrier rocket has achieved complete success for three consecutive launches, accurately delivering 37 satellites with a total load of 3.5 tons into the scheduled orbit, with a 100% launch success rate. This type of rocket is suitable for rapid network launch of small and medium-sized satellites in medium and low orbits. It has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons in a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit. It is a medium-sized solid launch vehicle with core competitiveness in China’s commercial launch vehicle launch market and is also the main force in China’s commercial aerospace industry. It is one of the rockets that can effectively meet the needs of the commercial launch market in medium and low orbits. It also has the ability to respond quickly to diversified market demands and is committed to providing customers with highly reliable, low-cost, and high-density flight-based launch services.
