Gravity-1 consists of seven solid rocket motors (SRB) in total. The first four side-mounted SRBs are ignited on the ground, while three core boosters are air-lit in sequence. The launch cost for Gravity-1 is no higher than US$39 million. Gravity-1 offers a quick-response-time of only five hours between manufacturing completion and launch.
In the context of spaceflight, launch period is the collection of days, and launch window is the time period on a given day, during which a particular rocket must be launched in order to reach its intended target. [1] [2] If the rocket is not launched within a given window, it has to wait for the window on the next day of the period. [3]
Launch Failure NOSS-2-3A: US Navy Intended: Low Earth ELINT NOSS-2-3B: US Navy Intended: Low Earth ELINT NOSS-2-3C: US Navy Intended: Low Earth ELINT Apogee: 33 kilometres (21 mi). One of the UA1207 solid rocket boosters exploded at T+101 seconds. Failure was attributed to damage caused by the ground crew due to an errant cut into one of the ...

The rocket reached an apogee of 46 km. [7] PLD Space considers this first launch to have been a success despite the apogee being only 46 km instead of 80 km (the decision was made before the launch to target a low altitude, flatter trajectory instead of a high altitude trajectory because of range safety reasons).
