Update - https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2018-12-07/doc-ihmutuec7037961.shtml … says the sats are 3 Spacety/Tianyi and 7 IoT sats from Jiutian so probably no Weina-1.

MinoSpace have just confirmed Weina-1 was on the launch. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/DmyCkTdTs5KQXgst45GxQA …

Interesting! So the http://sina.com story must be incorrect.

Andrew, do you know what the other two Weina-1 launches were? I think one is the 2018 Jan 25 one that's also CX-6?

You mean the previous two MinoSpace 'weina' series satellites? I think one would be the lost payload on the Landspace ZQ-1 launch. I think these are different to the CAS 微纳一号 sats (one of which being CX-6).

Hmm - today's is the second MN-10 spacecraft bus and the lost one was the first, but as I read it the lost one was a different kind of payload on that bus.

... and maybe the 'CAS' Weina sats are in fact MinoSpace. I gather the lead person in the company is ex CAS microsat team?

That had occurred to me, the background of the lead (& sources of funding coming from CAS-tied institutes, etc) . MinoSpace was founded in August 2017 from what I can tell, but then given the above it doesn't preclude these sats being theirs.

So my theory is that those first two 'CAS' ones are CX6 built by CAS and owned by Weina, ZQ-1 failure had a prototype of the Weina-built bus, and today's is the first Weina-1 using the Weina-built bus. But my confidence in this is low!

Mayhem! This might be something revealed only over time. Hopefully I can get a contact at MinoSpace in the near future and start clearing a few things up.

BTW has the "unknown satellite" on the CFOSAT launch been identified?

Is that supposed to be helpful at this moment in time?!

I dunno. What is sure is that more mayhem follows as it seems that there might be as many as SIX more launches from the Chinese before the end of 2018!
