Summary
Jilin-1 High Resolution 04B launched on a Galactic Energy Ceres-1 from Launch Area 95A, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China on September 21, 2023 at 04:59 UTC. The mission failed: Vehicle lost attitude control at T+67.5 s after suffering 1st stage motor nozzle expansion burn-through. Failure was traced to improper drilling of screw holes that caused damage in the inner carbon fiber layers. The launch window ran from 04:00 to 09:00 UTC. It was Galactic Energy's 10th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 6,523rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 9th Ceres-1 flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO).
