Chinese pseudo-company completes another launch from sea platform
The Chinese pseudo-company Galactic Energy today successfully placed four communications satellites into orbit, its solid-fueled Ceres-1 rocket lifting off from a sea platform off the eastern coast of China.
To prove how pseudo this company is, China’s state run press did not even mention its existence in the report at the link. The solid fuel of the rocket tells us that it was derived from missile technology, and there isn’t a chance in hell that a private independent company in China could do so without the strict supervision and control from that country’s government.
Nonetheless, this was its 19th successful launch, and its fifth from a sea platform. The rocket has only failed once since since its first launch in 2020.
The leaders in the 2025 launch race:
59 SpaceX
28 China
6 Rocket Lab
5 Russia
SpaceX still leads the rest of the world in successful launches, 59 to 46.
