Then on July 4 ~23:15 UTC a Long March 4C will launch from Jiuquan. It is reported this will carry GF-3-02, a follow-on to the GF-3 C-band radar EO satellite with 1 meter resolution.
There are additional unconfirmed rumors with the next Xichang launch being a Long March 3C on July 6 w/ the Tianlian-1-05 data relay sat, working in tandem w/ the already launched newer generation TL-2 series. Also there are reports that iSpace’s Hyperbola-1 RTF is on July 10.
Correction: Chinese sources now list the July 4 launch from Jiuquan as for the FY-3E polar orbit weather satellite instead. Here it is ahead of encapsulation:pic.twitter.com/C4rIshSA4N
Oh wait, there's a FIFTH one within these 10 days, a confirmed one!
This one to a low incl. LEO from Taiyuan on July 9 ~12:00 UTC seems to fit w/ a LM-6 launch, probably w/ another group of Ningxia-1 commercial SIGNIT sats not unlike Kleos Space's ones.
