Summary

3 satellites launched on a Galactic Energy Ceres-1 from Launch Area 95A, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China on June 6, 2024 at 05:00 UTC. The launch window ran from 04:50 to 05:38 UTC. It was Galactic Energy's 14th launch, 3rd this year and humanity's 6,702nd orbital launch attempt. It was the 12th Ceres-1 flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO). TEE-01B, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 547 × 564 km orbit inclined 97.6°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, all of them payloads.
