Rumors were that the solar panels were supposed to deploy soon after separation (see the latest Beidou GEO sat for a similar Chinese example) but so far hasn't - probably should have been 20 or so minutes ago.

Seems like there are some whispers of satellite problems after nominal flight and separation - recall that APStar-6D is using the same new comsat platform DFH-4E as the ill-fated ChinaSat 18 launched last year. T-0 was at 12:11 UTC.https://twitter.com/Nextlaunch/status/1281208735638204416 …
Yeah, good call on no webcast!

....and latest rumors were that the solar panels DID eventually deploy, later than scheduled. Official confirmation pending.

Looks like official success confirmation has been issued (specifically mentioning good first phase deployment of solar panels). T-0 confirmed as 12:11:04 UTC. APStar-6D will be located at134 degrees East. http://9ifly.spacety.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=69004&pid=752050 …

Well, the Big Red LCC Screen (TM) is here so..... I wonder if there were really problems happening or if the rumor source actually got his/her timings wrong....
