Payload apparently includes a new imaging sat for the Jilin-1 constellation (High Resolution-02E, more on that later) & CentiSpace-1 S2, a navigation argumentation test sat following S1 that flew in 2018.

It's First Flight Day today.
After long records of slipping (*late 2016* was the plan many years ago) the Chinese state corporation CASIC's newest rocket KZ-11 will finally fly today @ ~04:17 UTC from Jiuquan. At 1 tonne to SSO it's in @northropgrumman's Minotaur IV's class.pic.twitter.com/WGGG8xFxLz

Not guaranteed, but there *might* be some live streaming available (from the sponsor of this flight's Jilin-1 sat, more on that later):https://youtu.be/ePnOnLvStiU

Erm, the live event is on and we got some origami satellites and zucchini rockets, but I'm not sure what's going on there.pic.twitter.com/KuJyCNZXjQ

Alrighty then about who's doing this event. The company behind the Jilin-1 EO satellites has been active with promotion via cooperation with various companies. This time it's Bilibili, aspiring to be "China's YouTube", has stocks on exchange at NASDAQ and may come to HK as well.

While they have mainly focused on general video streaming nowadays, they started off (and still is) as the major official Chinese anime streaming site. In fact the company's name comes from the nickname of that very girl on my Twitter account banner and two comments above (ahem)!

Oh BTW according to reports this flight has the upper stage sending the 2 satellites into 2 different orbits, so it might be up to 2 hours after T-0 that we hear anything official about it!

Hearing reports of, ahem, not so good news. But considering the confusion yesterday....
