Mission Profile
Ceres 1 (Gushenxing-1, GX-1) is a Chinese commercial four-stage solid-propellant orbital launch vehicle developed by Galactic Energy, one of China's leading private launch startups. Making its maiden flight on 7 November 2020 from Jiuquan, it stands 20 meters tall and can deliver 350 kg to sun-synchronous orbit. Ceres 1 was one of the first commercially developed and operated Chinese rockets to reach orbit, marking a milestone in China's opening of the space launch industry to private enterprise.
