"China's Gravity-1 Rocket Shatters Records with Spectacular Sea Launch"
Chinese company Orienspace successfully launched its first-ever rocket, the Gravity-1, from a mobile platform in the Yellow Sea, carrying three commercial weather satellites to orbit and breaking the record for the largest payload capacity on a commercial rocket in China. The rocket, equipped with strap-on boosters, can lift around 14,330 pounds to low Earth orbit and is part of China's growing commercial space industry, which has seen significant growth since 2014. Orienspace is already working on two other vehicles, Gravity 2 and 3, with even larger payload capacities, marking a significant milestone in China's space exploration efforts.
