China Launches Gravity-1 Rocket with Nine Satellites





China launched the Gravity-1 carrier rocket on 22 July 2026 and placed nine satellites into their designated orbits. The launch took place at 10:54 a.m. Beijing time from a maritime platform in the East China Sea, east of Shanghai.

Satellite Payload

The nine satellites included Dongpo-13, Dongpo-14, Dongpo-17, Dongpo-18, Dongpo-19, Dongpo-20, Xiguang-2 01, Tianyi-49, and Lilac-3, which is also called Zidingxiang-3. The Dongpo satellites are designed for all-weather and all-time Earth observation. Xiguang-2 01 and Tianyi-49 are intended for applications such as mineral exploration, agriculture, forestry, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. These uses place the mission within the broader field of Earth observation and remote sensing.

Commercial Sea Launches in China

This mission was the first far-sea launch for a private commercial rocket in the East China Sea waters of China’s Yangtze River Delta region. Maritime launch platforms are used for launches over open water, which provides wider safety corridors for rocket stages and payload operations.

Future Plans

Orienspace plans to launch another batch of Chinese internet satellites using Gravity-1 in the coming months. The company is also developing Gravity-2 and Gravity-3 as larger liquid-fuel launch vehicles.

Chinese Mathematicians

  Chinese mathematicians in US say they have cracked century-old fluid mechanics puzzle Two young Chinese mathematicians working in the United States, along with an international collaborator, may have solved a century-old problem in fluid mechanics – an  area of study  that is critical to many engineering fields including hydraulic systems, the design of dams and bridges, and aerodynamics. In a paper published on March 3 on arXiv, an open-access platform for preprint papers that are yet to be peer reviewed, the trio said they had resolved “Hilbert’s sixth problem” by proving the mathematics of fluid mechanics. The study was co-authored by Deng Yu, an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago, along with Ma Xiao and Zaher Hani, both from the University of Michigan’s Department of Mathematics. The breakthrough has triggered discussion on social media, especially in China. “They solved the century-long problem and brought Hilbert’s sixth problem in the...

LandSpace’s Zhuque-3 reusable rocket test a ‘breakthrough’ for China space race

Image
  Beijing-based company LandSpace set the stage for next year’s maiden flight of its reusable Zhuque-3 rocket with a 10km (6-mile) vertical take-off, vertical landing (VTVL) test in China’s Gobi Desert on Wednesday. The 200-second test flight was also the first time engine reignition – a critical deceleration phase in rocket recovery – was tested in China, in what state broadcaster CCTV called a “ breakthrough” for the country’s commercial space sector. Dai Zheng, commander of the Zhuque-3 project, said the test validated in-flight engine cut-off and restart, as well as other key technologies including joint guidance and control, as well as precise landing. The test marked a “crucial step” towards low-cost, high-frequency space launches, said Dai in the CCTV report. “We have verified these core technologies in advance, laying a solid foundation for the flight and recovery of the rocket. ”An engineer from the Zhuque-3 team, speaking anonymously to the South China Morning Post, sai...
