China’s Orienspace Technology, a commercial aerospace enterprise, launched on October 11th its Gravity-1 Y2 booster from a sea-launch platform off the coast of Haiyang, east China’s Shandong Province.
Gravity-1 reportedly placed three satellites into their designated orbits: an Earth-remote sensing satellite and two spacecraft built to look for and image orbital debris, from old rocket stages to out-of-service satellites.

A large solid-fueled booster, Gravity-1 can launch payloads of up to 6.5 tons to low-Earth orbit (LEO), up to 4.2 tons to a 500 kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit or up to 3.7 tons to a 700 kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit.
The Gravity-1 carrier rocket made its debut flight in January 2024.
