Orienspace Gravitiy-1 rocket maiden orbital flight date confirmed: 11 Jan 2024

Launch startup Space Pioneer CEO Dr.Kang previously claimed Tianlong-3 first orbital flight will take place in Sep 2024. I'm quite suspicious of this. Because the No.2 launch pad under construction in Hainan island right now probably won't be ready by Sept. So I don't know how they're going to launch their new rocket in Sept.
