According to this the launch time will be 02:11 UTC with window extending to 02:50 UTC.

Well, from the usual lack of livestreams in Chinese launches, to 6 switchable live views, the difference is stark:

The Long March 3B carrier rocket, which launched Beidou-3’s last global networking satellite, found technical problems with the product during the pre-launch test. The launch mission was postponed and the launch time was to be determined.

The day-of countdown started, but was halted several hours before T-0?

Liss · « **Reply #28 on:** 06/17/2020 10:41 pm »

So if CZ-3B Beidou 3 G3 launch was cancelled at T-4 hours,
and CZ-3B Apstar 5D was delayed to July,
and Yuanwang 6 was called back to Shanghai,
I would guess that the problem is fleet-wide and time-consuming.

Which mission or missions would Yuanwang 6 have been supporting?

Both missions which are GTO ones I believe.

Galactic Penguin SST · « **Reply #31 on:** 06/18/2020 12:21 pm »

Apparently YW-6 has reversed course again back towards its GTO launch stand-by location so the launch might still happen within this month?
