In brief
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, China used a CERES‑2 Y3 carrier rocket to send four satellites into their planned orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China.

On Saturday, November 7, 2026, China lifted a CERES‑2 Y3 carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre and sent four satellites into the orbit they were targeting.
The rocket launched at 9:22 AM local time and cleared the launchpad smoothly, reaching the planned trajectory without any on‑ground problems.
Once in orbit, the four satellites entered the correct altitude and orientation as intended by their mission designers.
While the individual names and purposes of the satellites are not detailed in the report, the fact that all four reached their goals shows the reliability of the launch vehicle.
China’s repeated use of the CERES‑2 series demonstrates the country’s growing confidence and precision in space‑launch capabilities.
The event was covered by the World Affairs Agency (WAM), which confirmed the launch details and outcome.
