Just two days after a sea launch called "Beautiful World", Chinese commercial space company Galactic Energy launched another rocket on Friday. The latter launch has been dubbed "Heroes", and has set a new record for the shortest interval between two commercial launches by a private Chinese rocket company.
At 7:39 a.m. on May 31, the CERES-1 Y12 carrier rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gansu Province. It delivered five satellites into the planned twilight orbit, at an altitude of 535 kilometers.
The five satellites include two for the in-orbit verification of laser communications within the low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellation, two remote sensing satellites for meteorological observations, and a meteorological remote sensing satellite.
