At Oriental Spaceport, Bu Xiangwei's Orienspace team are in a race against time. The satellites' batteries are fully charged and launch is planned within 15 days. But a typhoon is approaching. Despite the rough weather, the team board the launch vessel, 360 nautical miles off the coast on the East China Sea, and successfully send the satellites into orbit. For a private space company, every launch is a test of trust, time and funding, as well as of survival itself.
