A Chinese commercial space launch has achieved another milestone with a successful deployment of five satellites. The launch was held on January 20 at 5:11 am using the Char -Charan solid proponent Ceres -1 rocket of the EST. The event was held at the Jyukvan Satellite Launch Center located in the Gobi Desert in North Western China. Manufactured and operated by galactic energy, the mission included inserting satellites in its pre -east classes, marking a significant step for China’s growing commercial space industry.
Satellites launched for weather and remote sensing
according to a Report by space.comThe payload consisted of four Yunyao -1 commercial meteorological satellites (nominated satellites 37 to 40) and Jitianxing A -05 satellites. The Yunyao-1 chain is equipped with the GNSS secretness payload, which is designed to collect weather figures to monitor changes in GPS and Beidou signals as they cross the atmosphere. This method allows satellites to provide important information for meteorological predictions. Meanwhile, Jitianxing A-05 satellite, the Earth’s high-resolution remote sensing images, are designed with a hyperspactral camera capable of capturing images.
Progress and future plans of galactic energy
Galactic Energy has emerged as a prominent player in China’s commercial space sector, with 17 launch efforts and a strong success rate of 16. Plans for the company include the introduction of Palas -1 rocket, a liquid -propalant vehicle is expected to be ahead in this year. As mentioned, this rocket will use a kerosene-elal oxygen propest combination and is designed to re-purpose, which is a feature aimed at increasing cost-defense. Ceres -1, 62 feet tall, the payload can weigh up to 400 kg in low Earth’s orbit, while Pallas -1 will have a large capacity of 8,000 kg, 138 feet measuring, 138 feet.
Extension of China space activities
The mission marked China’s fourth orbital launch of 2025, following earlier efforts, consisting of a satellite fuel -filled test spacecraft and an Earth observation satellite for Pakistan. These developments indicate rapid expansion of capabilities in China’s commercial and national space programs.
