On January 11, 2024, our country's aerospace industry ushered in another great joy! In the sea area on the edge of Haiyang, Shandong, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center used the first commercial carrier rocket independently developed by us, the Gravity-1 Yao-1 model, to play a sea launch with a super difficult coefficient. This wonderful performance not only successfully sent the three little guys of Yunyao-1 18-20 stars to the predetermined orbit, but also broke the world's record for the largest capacity of solid launch vehicles in one fell swoop, and also became the most powerful private commercial rocket in the mainland so far.
To put it bluntly, our Gravity No. 1 is a super powerful character, not only in China, but also in the world. Its successful first flight is like a loud advertisement for the mainland's aerospace science and technology strength, telling everyone that we have been at the forefront of solid propulsion technology. At the same time, this is also a strong proof of the strength and innovation of mainland private enterprises in the aerospace field, which has really promoted the development of our country's aerospace industry in a higher, faster and stronger direction.
Looking back on the development process of our country's launch vehicles, from the early "Long March" series to the sudden emergence of private enterprises, every rocket launch is a tenacious determination and unremitting efforts for the vast space exploration. The successful launch of Gravity-1 is like adding a new member of our national rocket family, and its miniaturization, rapid response and flexible deployment are the latest trends in modern rocket technology. In particular, through the sea launch, we can carry out launch missions in more places and at more convenient times, which is like giving wings to the rocket, so that it can better serve the needs of various satellite constellation deployments and emergency rapid launches.
All in all, the successful launch of the Gravity-1 Yao-1 rocket marks that the mainland's private aerospace forces have reached a new level in the world, resonating at the same frequency with the national aerospace industry, and jointly helping the mainland to move forward at full speed towards the goal of becoming a space power. This success is not only a milestone, but also a new journey, indicating that the mainland's aerospace industry will usher in a more magnificent and beautiful future under the background of the deep integration of commercial aerospace and national aerospace.
