Long March 8 Y2 launch delayed to February 2022, will include the first batch of Spacety's Tianxian satellites:Chinese partnership to create Tianxian SAR satellite constellation [dated Oct. 8]QuoteHELSINKI — A Chinese state-owned enterprise and a private firm are partnering to establish a 96-satellite SAR constellation, with the first launch set for February 2022.The 38th institute of the giant state-owned enterprise China Electronics Technology Group (CETC) will work with private satellite manufacturer Spacety to construct a X and C-band synthetic aperture radar constellation named Tianxian. The constellation will consist of 96 small satellites launched into various planes.The announcement was made at the recent Zhuhai Airshow in south China, which concluded Oct. 3. A contract was signed with the China Great Wall Industry Corp. (CGWIC) for launch of the first batch of satellites on the second Long March 8 in February 2022. A further launch is scheduled for Q3 2020 [typo, actually Q3 2022 in their press release] according to Spacety.

Egypt’s experimental Earth observation satellite, MisrSat-2, is scheduled to be launched in December 2022, just three months behind schedule despite the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the CEO of the Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA), Mohammed ElKoosy, the first phase of the initial designs has been completed, and the engineering model is currently being manufactured with Chinese support. MisrSat-2 satellite is a technology transfer project between the Egyptian Space Agency and the Chinese government to provide Egyptian engineers and scientists with an opportunity to acquire on-the-project experience in satellite design and integration using facilities available in Egypt.
The Xingkong-1 communications satellite uses the Dongfanghong-4 enhanced platform with a total capacity of 90Gbps. It is currently a Ka broadband satellite system with large capacity and wide coverage in the Asia-Pacific region. On February 7, 2018, Xingkong Time signed a contract with China Great Wall Industry Group Co., Ltd. to start the design and manufacture of the Jianyang Xingkong-1 communications satellite. It is currently in production and is expected to be launched into orbit at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the second half of 2023.
