Orienspace's solid-fueled Gravity-1 lifted off from a sea platform in the Yellow Sea off Shandong, placing nine satellites into sun-synchronous orbit, including six Dongpo remote-sensing craft for the Huantian constellation and SpaceTY's Tianyi-49. The rocket's third consecutive success and its first fully commercial multi-payload rideshare deployment.
