[3] Large pieces of debris were seen during the launch, which carried 3 Yunyao-1 meteorological satellites built by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, as part of the planned 90-satellite Yunyao constellation.
[3][2] Gravity-1 consists of seven solid rocket motors (SRB) in total.
The first four side-mounted SRBs are ignited on the ground, while three core boosters are air-lit in sequence.
Gravity-1 offers a quick-response-time of only five hours between manufacturing completion and launch.
Orienspace has signed contracts for the launch of more than one hundred satellites.
