According to this post, all CZ-4 launches in 2015 have been successfully carried out. So no chance to expect another launch from TSLC in 2015.

This is just a guess work, as someone disclosed some information here.

So, limen4, should we expect a launch after December 22?

Maybe, but not sure. In the past YW-3 has supported some launches within the YG and the SJ series and also FY-3 launches from a position in the Bay of Bengale. But neither a launch from JSLC pad 603 nor a CZ-4 from TSLC is likely. What remains - a CZ-2C or another CZ-6 from TSLC or a CZ-11 from JSLC? Or simply a training mission? Let's see what will happen.

The report turns out to be bogus since it actually went though the Strait of Malacca and passed through the Singapore Strait on Dec. 20, with its AIS message showing it going back to Shanghai by the 27th.

This matches earlier rumors that TSLC has saw its last satellite launch of 2015 last month, and official reports post-DAMPE launch that it was the last launch of the year from JSLC.  ;)

The solution is simple - YW-3 supported some days earlier the launch of DAMPE from this area and is now on the way home (see the DAMPE thread http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=37717.40)

In fact, Chinaspaceflight reckons that will be Yaogan-30, or Gaofen-10. ;D

We passed the expected launch time, so waiting for news from Jiuquan!

Any idea if it's being broadcasted and if so where?
