On November 10th at 12:02 PM (local time), China undertook a launch mission at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, employing the privately - developed commercial carrier rocket Ceres - 1. The payloads for this launch comprised the Jixing Gaofen 04C satellite, the Jixing Platform 02A04 satellite, and the No.1 Satellite of North University of China.

The rocket's first, second, and third stages executed their flights and separated as planned, following the normal launch sequence. However, during the final flight phase, an unexpected issue arose. After the fourth stage of the rocket ignited and had been in flight for 510 seconds, an anomaly led to a premature shutdown. Consequently, the satellites were unable to reach their pre - determined orbit, and the launch mission ultimately ended in failure. At present, a thorough investigation is underway to pinpoint the exact cause of this mishap.
