Firstly, Shenzhou 12. After lots of rumors of it launching on the 17th, latest air space closure notices have *confirmed* this with T-0 around 01:20 UTC, a time that was calculated already by looking at the in-plane windows of the CSS passing over Jiuquan. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=39624.msg2250785#msg2250785 …

It is likely that the Chinese will try again for a quick rendezvous profile for the 3-astronauts crew to the CSS like they did with Tianzhou 2, probably again around 6 hours after launch. After all, this was designed to lessen crew effects in a cramped S/C.

But wait, there's more! Down in Xichang there's *another* launch confirmed by NOTAMs on the same day, and at ~06:55 UTC! The zones confirm that it's most likely yet another Long March 2C launch w/ the 9th triplet of Yaogan-30 constellation, widely believed for comms/signal intel.
