Looking at the mission patches of TJSW-15, 16 and 17, where three of the four Heavenly Kings of the Buddhist mythology are despicted (Kings of West, East, North), my guess is, that this will be the missing King of the South (TJSW-18?).

On the 27th, our country successfully launched the Tianlian-2-05 satellite into space using the Long March 3B carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit and the launch mission was a complete success. The satellite is my country's second-generation geosynchronous orbit data relay satellite, mainly used to provide data relay and measurement and control services for manned spacecraft such as spacecraft and space stations, provide data relay and measurement and control services for medium and low orbit resource satellites, and provide measurement and control support for spacecraft launches. #Like for China's Spaceflight#!

CAST Manufacturer.

A xichang local was saying on douyin during the launch that it was Y109... terrible source but who knows, maybe they caught some patch/announcement banner or heard something.
