全力以赴保发射

go all out to secure the launch

Based on the experience of the 4 completed maritime launches, actively connect with the model team and launch brigade, coordinate with the military, meteorological, maritime, public security and other departments, solidify the maritime launch service guarantee process, and lay a solid foundation for normalized maritime launch capabilities. We will make every effort to ensure and serve launch missions such as the first flight of Jielong 3 at the end of November and the first sea launch of Ceres at the end of December. Accelerate the construction of rocket launchers. All 67 sub-sections will start construction before the Spring Festival, 70% of the progress of closing, and 80% of equipment procurement. The construction contract for the semi-fixed launch platform was signed before the Spring Festival.

The 1st Gushenxing-1H will be launched in end of December 2022 from Yellow Sea!

眉山“天府星座”、“道达星座”、“吉林一号”等8颗卫星出征

Eight satellites including "Tianfu Constellation", "Daoda Constellation" and "Jilin No. 1" in Meishan set off for expedition

On November 13, 2022, Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. held the Meishan "Tianfu Constellation" Dongpo 08~10 stars, "Daoda Constellation" Tianluo and Tianxin, and "Jilin-1" in Changchun Aerospace Information Industrial Park. The expedition ceremony of 8 satellites including the Gaofen 03D47 star, the Jilin-1 Gaofen 03D50 star, and the Jilin-1 platform 01A01 star. Leaders and employee representatives of the company and cooperative units participated in the activity.

Meishan "Tianfu Constellation" Dongpo 08~10 stars ("Jilin No. 1" high score 03D44~46 stars), "Daoda Constellation" Tianluo and Tianxin ("Jilin No. 1" high score 03D48~49 stars) It is a light and small high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite jointly developed by Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd., Meishan Huantian Smart Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Daoda Sky Technology Co., Ltd. respectively. The "Jilin-1" Gaofen-03 series of satellites is an important achievement of the company's practice of the mass production concept. It has the characteristics of low cost, low power consumption, low weight and high indicators.

The "Jilin No. 1" platform 01A01 is a flexible satellite platform independently developed by Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. according to the design concept of CubeSat. The satellite can perform flexible stand-alone transformation according to the integration requirements of different loads. Strong capability, light weight and low cost. The "Jilin-1" platform 01A satellite is positioned on a 20kg-class multi-functional operational satellite platform, which supports long-term three-axis ground-to-ground operation of the payload, and can be adapted to various payloads such as remote sensing, communication, and navigation. The reliability advantages, as well as the low cost and rapid development advantages of CubeSats.

The eight satellites on this expedition will be launched in the near future in the Yellow Sea. After the successful launch, they will form a network with the 70 "Jilin-1" satellites in orbit, which can be used for agriculture, forestry, ocean, resources, environmental protection, meteorology, Provide a wealth of remote sensing data and product services in the fields of urban construction and scientific experiments.

The payloads might be as below'
Dongpo-08 Jilin-1 Gaofen 03D44（天府星座东坡08 吉林一号高分03D44）

It is siad the Gushenxing-1 Y5 will be launched from Jiuquan in December,
and Gushenxing-1H Y1 might be  launched from Yellow Sea after December.

[mikezang]

This will be launched from Yellow Sea, but I am not sure if it is Gushenxing-1 Y5 or Gushenxing-1H Y1.

I am pretty sure there's no such launch, at least not now.
The zone in the southern Pacific as listed above is for December 11-18, 04:00 - 10:00 UTC.
It seems to line-up with another zone south of Taiwan which has now resurfaced as on December 16-18, 05:00 - 10:00 UTC:

These 2 are likely for a Xichang CZ-11 launch to LEO, as reported on the other thread.

I don't know where mikezang gets the launch time above but it's most likely completely wrong, especially since the official announcement that noted a Ceres-1 sea launch says it would be NET late December 2022. There are no related NOTAMs to back it up.

ok, thanks for clarifying this!

Many of the posts have been living of pure speculation, we should stop this.

So, we are inside the launch window. Waiting for some news about this launch.

The Gushenxing-1 with serial number Y5 was launched on January 9, 2023:

Thanks. According to a February 24, 2023 article in the China Daily, the first launch of the Gushenxing-1 is scheduled for launch this summer:

Galactic Energy, a private space company in Beijing, plans to launch one of its own rockets from the sea in the coming summer, which, if it succeeds, will become the first sea-based launch by the country's private sector.

Xia Dongkun, a vice-president at Galactic Energy, said on Thursday that the prospective launch has been scheduled to take place in the Yellow Sea off the coast of Shandong province sometime between June and August.

It'll be interesting to see if the Gushenxing-1 launch from the Yellow Sea happens in July or August.

星河动力航天公布了谷神星一号（遥七）任务代号，并开启了任务徽章设计的征集活动。

Galaxy Power Aerospace announced the mission code name of Ceres 1 (Yao 7), and opened a collection of mission badge designs.

The main body of the design is composed of koi and auspicious clouds surrounding the arrow body. "The koi is dazzling, the fortune is smooth, and the blue clouds are going straight up." The koi is a sign of auspiciousness, and it brings a glimpse of things that cannot be seen between the scales; the koi represents good luck and auspiciousness, and symbolizes this The mission rocket will be able to accurately send the payload into the predetermined orbit and win a lot of applause. "Auspicious clouds are luxuriant, misty purple clouds, and clouds are flourishing." Auspicious clouds imply auspiciousness, happiness and happiness, and the arrival of blessings, and represent the beautiful yearning and wishes for the future success of Ceres-1 carrier rocket. The good wind takes advantage of it, strives upward, and shines brightly. Galaxy Power Aerospace has traveled all the way to the light, fearless of dangers and obstacles, and is working day and night with enthusiasm, continuing to rush forward to a bright future on the road of commercial aerospace in the new era.

The badge has a fish of carp that means the Y7 might be launched from Sea.
