Quote from: Satori on 09/10/2013 04:26 pmAccording to the Brazilian Space Agency, the launch of CBERS-3 is scheduled for next December.Sounds like a good candidate for the primary payload that the cubesat from Poland is launching with.
According to CBERS-3 - China e Brasil lançam ao Espaço ainda em 2013 (in Portuguese) the previously December 27th schedule launch of CBERS-3 was anticipated for the first ten days of that month.The request to anticipate the launch was because of the New Year festivities in Brazil.
CBERS-3 will be launched on December 10 at 0300UTC.

A Brazilian paper says December 10 but with the strange launch site quoted their reliability could be questioned!

o lançamento do satélite está programado para as 11h do dia 10 de dezembro, no horário de Pequim (zero hora, em Brasília). O CBERS-3 vai substituir o CBERS-2B, que deixou de operar em 2010.
