Hi John.

I found the following at
https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/07/25/chinese-private-company-reaches-orbit-for-first-time/

--------------------------------------------------------------

The satellites launched aboard the first Hyperbola 1 mission included the
CAS 7B CubeSat, an amateur radio mission developed by the Beijing Institute
of Technology. The Hyperbola 1 rocket also launched a satellite for
Aerospace Science and Technology Space Engineering Development Co. Ltd.,
but i-Space did not release a name or description of the satellite.

The launcher also carried three other payloads, which may have been
designed to remain attached to the Hyperbola 1’s upper stage. They included
a payload for Watermelon Maker, a Chinese online education platform, a
technology verification unit for China’s CCTV state-run television network,
and a third payload named Star Age 6, whose owner and purpose were not
disclosed.

According to i-Space, the Hyperbola 1 launch also delivered unspecified
payloads to orbit for two Chinese wine and automobile companies, which
sponsored the mission.
