Ceres 1S • Tianqi 37–40

A Galactic Energy Ceres 1S rocket will perform a sea launch from Haiyang Spaceport, where it will lift off from the DeFu 15002 barge (德浮15001号), probably carrying the Tianqi 1-37 to 1–40 (天启一号37-40) satellites into orbit. The mission is named as Wang Hai Chao (Looking at the Tide). Ceres 1 will fly as 1S variant (S for sea launch, aka Gushenxing 1H (GX-1H) for haiyang = ocean) which has a different thrust profile, with reduced thrust on the first stage and increased thrust on the following stages.
