China sent a Gravity-1 carrier rocket into space from waters off the coast of Haiyang, east China’s Shandong Province, on Saturday.
The rocket blasted off at 10:20am (Beijing Time), placing three satellites into their designated orbits. The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center conducted the offshore mission.
A wide-field satellite and two experimental satellites were onboard the carrier rocket.
The Gravity-1 carrier rocket made its debut flight in January 2024.
