Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Galactic Energy is a Chinese launch company whose Ceres-1 solid rocket has 21 successful launches serving 27 commercial customers (the Chinese commercial delivery-record holder), plus an operating Ceres-1S sea-launch variant and a Pallas-1 reusable kerolox assembled for its Jiuquan debut. It is the steady-delivery counterpoint to Landspace's technology leadership, though it absorbed a Ceres-1 failure (November 2025) and a Ceres-2 maiden failure (January 2026) within three months of raising RMB 2.4B (~$335M, the largest round ever by a Chinese rocket startup). It is in the IPO queue; revenue is estimated at 10-100m.
