CAS Space "Strong Arrow 1" Rocket Successfully Launches Five Satellites

CAS Space announced on July 24 that its "Strong Arrow 1" carrier rocket successfully completed a "one rocket, five satellites" launch mission. The rocket lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Test Site at 07:33 AM local time, precisely delivering five satellites, including the "Chenguang 1" satellite, into their designated orbits.

This launch is the first step towards CAS Space's goal of achieving monthly launches in the latter half of the year, solidifying its capability for frequent and efficient launch services. The mission provided rideshare services for five different clients, leveraging the company's established multi-satellite launch technologies.

The "Strong Arrow 1" rocket has served over 30 domestic and international clients to date, deploying more than 10 types of payloads such as optical remote sensing satellites and quantum communication units. The company offers customized launch services for micro-satellites.

The mission deployed several satellites for diverse applications, including "Chenguang 1" for testing space data center technologies, "Gandé 1 01" for space debris monitoring, and "Xiguang 2 03" for high-resolution infrared remote sensing. Additionally, the intelligent computing satellite "Jitian Star A-04" and the commercial weather satellite "Yinglong Fengguang 1" were included.

This successful launch represents the 15th flight for the "Strong Arrow 1" rocket and the 16th launch overall for CAS Space. The company has delivered a total of 110 satellites into space, making it the only Chinese commercial rocket model to have launched over a hundred satellites.
