A Chinese commercial rocket completed a sea-based launch Thursday. The Ceres-1S rocket lifted off at 5:18 am EST (1018 GMT) from a ship in Chinese coastal waters. The rocket placed into orbit four Tianqi satellites for Internet-of-Things services. The launch was the 66th launch of the year for Chinese rockets. China launches 67 times in 2023, and several more launches are planned through the rest of this year.
