Someone mentioned briefly that the next launch from Taiyuan could be as early as December 15th! I was slightly surprised by this, but apparently the new launch pad could support THREE launches in a single month, so....

I'm still in doubt about the YG-14 YaoGan Weixing-14 launch this year.

Warning! You have quote my post where I tried to do an uneducated guess on the launch schedule in January, so the January 5 date for FY-2F is most likely incorrect.
BTW, the code for China's manned spaceflight program is 921, not 912.
Interesting serial numbers... The next few flights of the CZ-4 series are as follows:CZ-4B Y15 (ZY-1-02C)CZ-4C Y9 (YG-14)CZ-4B Y26 (ZY-3)CZ-4C Y10 (maybe YG-15?)CZ-4B Y12 (dunno, could be CBERS-3)Meanwhile, FY-2F was approved for moving to the launch site on November 16th, so a launch around the new year seems likely...
Will there be a CBERS-3 at all? Haven't heard anything from this program for ages.
Anyone has the serial numbers of the CZ-3A rocket used on July 26 and the CZ-2C used on November 29?
