Chinese company Galactic Energy launched an imaging satellite early Friday. The company's Ceres-1 rocket lifted off at 12:59 a.m. Eastern from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and placed the Jilin-1 Kuanfu 02A imaging satellite into orbit. The launch was the eighth success in as many launches for the solid-fuel Ceres-1 rocket, as Galactic Energy prepares for the the first sea-based launch of the rocket early next month.
