Chinese commercial launch service provider Galactic Energy successfully launched its third Ceres-1 rocket Tuesday. The four-stage rocket lifted off at 12:11 am EDT (0411 GMT) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and placed three satellites into orbit. The solid-fueled Ceres-1 has reached orbit in all three launches as the company works on a larger liquid-fueled rocket, Pallas-1, slated to debut in 2023. The rocket carried Taijing-1 01 and 02, two remote sensing satellites developed by Minospace, as well as Donghai-1, developed by Shanghai-based ASES Space for testing remote sensing and related technologies.
