Haiyang-2B (HY-2B) - CZ-4B - TSLC - October 24-5 (?), 2018

Haiyang-2B


From https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/h/hy-2a :
Quote
HY-2 is a second generation ocean observation/monitoring satellite series approved by CNSA (China National Space Administration) Beijing in Feb. 2007. The HY-2A mission represents a follow-up of the HY-1A and HY-1B missions.

The overall objective of HY-2 is the measurement of ocean dynamic and environmental parameters in the microwave region (i.e., all weather observations). The requirements call also for the collection of data on marine wind setup (wind vector), marine surface height, and SST (Sea Surface Temperature), along with aero-marine forecasts for the prevention and relief of disaster.


Haiyang-2A's orbit (same source):
Quote
Orbit: Near sun-synchronous frozen orbit, altitude = 971 km, inclination of 99.3º, period = 104.45 minutes. Equator crossing time on descending node at 6:00 hours, repeat cycle: two phase (14 days and 168 days).


Will HY-2B complement, or replace, HY-2A?
(same source):
Quote
According to WMO, the HY-2A mission is operational in 2016 in its 5th year on orbit.


CNES contributed an instrument to the HY-2A mission.

Per Chinese rumors there should be a launch out of Taiyuan "relatively soon", with a CASC built payload.
Dunno how long "relatively soon" is....

The development of HY-2A, the first of the series of HY-2 series of satellites sponsored by the State Oceanic Administration (SOA), was approved by Chinese authorities on January, 2007. The spacecraft is three-axis stabilized using the CAST968 satellite platform. The spacecraft is being developed by the DFH (Dongfanghong Satellite Corporation Ltd.), a spin-off company of CASC (China Aerospace Science &Technology Corporation), Beijing, China.

Is there any international participation in HY-2B's mission?

Is it a repeat of HY-2A's mission and suite of instruments, or are there any improvements?

Haiyang-2B possibly to be launched around October 26, according to our friends 9ifly Chinese space forum.

This insider forum member claims that launch will occur on the morning of October 25 LT.

Assuming it is using the same orbit as HY-2A, the launch time might even look more like October 24 at ~23:00 UTC.

I don't think so: the segment TONAX-LEBAK is too far West

Assuming it is using the same orbit as HY-2A, the launch time might even look more like October 24 at ~23:00 UTC.

This other member (also an insider source I think) concurs and gives a 22:55 UTC launch time.

No air space closure notices that I can see so we might just have to trust their words.....

There was no air space closure notices this time.

The satellite should be in orbit by now. Confirmation is pending.

According to the few Chinese articles around HY-2B is in the same configuration as HY-2A launched in 2011 (https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/h/hy-2a). There were some tweaks like new rubidium clocks for the radar altimeters, but there are no major changes.

"Good morning!" Our country successfully launched the "Ocean Second B" Satellite!

October 25, 2018 6:57, China in the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center with the Long March fourth B launch vehicle, the success of the "Ocean No. Second" Satellite launch, the satellite into the predetermined orbit.
"Ocean Second B" Satellite is a marine dynamic environment detection satellite, will be with the follow-up "Ocean second C" and "Ocean second D" Satellite network to form all-weather, full-time, high-frequency sub-global large-scale marine dynamic environment satellite monitoring system. "Ocean second B" satellite and the Long March fourth B launch vehicle by the Aerospace Technology Group Co., Ltd. Development and production, China satellite launch measurement and control system is responsible for the launch, measurement and control tasks of the organization implementation. This is the No. 288 time flight of the long-range launch vehicle. (photography Zheng fled to the sunny)

Yup, that's an official launch success confirmation with T-0 at 22:57 UTC!
