🚀 Ready, set, blast off! This weekend, a Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) rocket soared from Shandong Province on the Chinese mainland, sending the brand-new Geely-04 satellite squad into orbit.
Launched at 12:31 a.m. near Rizhao's coast, this offshore mission by the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center is part of a trend tapping the sea for more flexibility (and epic sunrise views for the control team 🌅).
With the Geely-04 satellites now cruising at their planned altitude, we're witnessing another step up for modern space ventures—kind of like how your fav sci-fi series keeps raising the bar for cool tech vibes! 🎬✨
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as this constellation settles in and sets the stage for future space feats. Next stop, the stars! 🌟
