The next Beidou(Compass) navigation sat will be launched in 2008,and China may use  Long March 3-B,that means that each will be two satellites launched into space

Thanks very much Jin Zhen, this is very good information! Can you provide the source of this?

Also, the Space Calendar  is now showing the launch of Zhongxing-6B (Chinasat-6B) in July 2008. This scheduling contradicts the most recent info about the launch of this communications satellite. This launch was probably delayed to July 2007.

Sorry,I just can say this imformation is highly believable(But I can't say there won't be a beidou(compass) navigation sat launched in 2007)
All the Chinese news said Zhongxing-6B will be launched in July 2007
And based on the latest Chinese news,these sats will be launched in September 2007
September - CZ-3A - Xichang - Chang'e-1
September - CZ-4B - Taiyuan - CBERS-2B
September - CZ-4B - Taiyuan - Feng Yun-3A
September - CZ-3B - Xichang - Zhongxing-9 (Chinasat-9)
And I'm also interested in Shi Jian 9,Do you have any imformation about it?

The Shi Jian-9 launch is schedule in various Internet sources like The Space Calendar and The Space Launcher. Other sources present this as the Seeds Sat-2, but this sat will be launched in 2008. I didn't find any 'official' source' about this launch.

Shi Jian-9 is not a Seeds sat.

This is a technology test satellite developed for the Commission of Science.Technology and industry for National Defence (COSTIND).It is primarily designed to carry out in-orbit demonstration of such technologies and new products as electric propulsion,high-precision and high-stability control system,high-efficiency power supply and advanced thermal control techniques.It will also be used for Earth observation and for tests of indigenously developed key components and devices.

This is a 'official' source'  about Shi Jian-9 from China Air Show 2006.I have a photo about it.
And another imformation said in next block dfh-4 will use electric propulsion.

Long March-3C will made its first flight in the end of 2007! The payload is still a mystery.
