Ceres
Chinese commercial small-lift solid-fuel orbital rocket
Galactic Energy's Ceres-1 is one of China's busiest commercial solid rockets — it launches from both land and sea, and completed five missions in 2024 alone. The sea-launch option, lifting off from a converted barge in the Yellow Sea, lets the company pick orbits that a fixed pad wouldn't allow.
We track every Ceres launch.
