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)

A CZ-4B with manufacture number Y17 and a CZ-2D with number Y21 was oberved during a technical visit on Sep 8th at the Shanghai Aerospace Equipment Manufayture Factory (see GoTaikonauts Oct 2011 issue). Any idea of the payloads and a possible launch date?

Some updates:

1. Chinasat-9A (ex Sinosat-4) will not be launched in 2012 (perhaps in 2013?).

2. That DFH-4 bus "communication satellite for the Indian Ocean region" (perhaps for Iran?) does not seems to be included for next year's launch plan.

3. Looks like VRSS-1 and the Turkish GK-2 will be launched on CZ-2D rockets next year. The other three commercial launch contracts for next year are the ones for APStar-7, APStar-7B and Vesselsat-2.

4. 8 launches are planned for 2012 at XSLC, carrying 10 satellites into orbit. (my guess is that they are: Compass G5 + G6(G2R?) + M2/M3 + M4/M5 + APStar 7 + ZX-12 + FY-2F + TL-1C)

5. 24 launches are planned in 2012, carrying 30 satellites and 2 spacecrafts.

6. Looks like the YG-14 launch is slipping to NET mid-2012.

Thank you Galactic. Many of us are still blocked from access from 9ifly.cn space forum, so we can't see those links.

Launch of the first HY-3 HaiYang-3 oceanographic satellite has been delayed to 2013.

According to this launch of the FY-2F FengYun-2F meteorological satellite will take place in February 2012.

The manager of an online space-related philatelic shop based in Xichang gave the following launch list for 2012 on December 25 (he recognized it's not necessarily complete for JSLC and TSLC)

from XLSC:
1) CZ-3A (Y22) FY-2F in January
2) CZ-3B Compass M2/Compass M3
3) CZ-3B Apstar-7
4) CZ-3A (Y23) Compass G5
5) CZ-3B "Sinosat-4" (ie Chinasat-9A)
6) CZ-3A (Y24) Compass G6
7) CZ-3B Apstar-7B (Chinasat-12)
8 ) CZ-3B Compass M4/Compass M5

from JSLC
1) CZ-2F (Y9) Shenzhou-9
2) CZ-2F (Y10) Shenzhou-10
3) CZ-2C SJ-11-4R
4) CZ-2D Yaogan-16-3

from TSLC
1) CZ-4B ZY-3 in January
2) CZ-4B CBERS-2C
3) CZ-2D "Venezuela Remote Sensing Satellite" (ie VRSS-1)

There seem to be two Yaogan Weixing 16 satellites missing (unless it's a cluster of three, of course), plus 14 and 15.

And we still have a gap or two in the sequential numbers for the Shijian series.

input~2 · « **Reply #807 on:** 12/26/2011 09:39 am »

This last list is qualified as "unreliable" by 9ifly forum members...

Satori · « **Reply #808 on:** 12/26/2011 02:58 pm »

According to the last informations launch of FengYun-2F will take place on January 5 and the launch of Compass-G5 will probably take place on the last third of January.

One Chinese source is pointing to June 2012 for the launch of Shenzhou-10.

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)

A CZ-4B with manufacture number Y17 and a CZ-2D with number Y21 was oberved during a technical visit on Sep 8th at the Shanghai Aerospace Equipment Manufayture Factory (see GoTaikonauts Oct 2011 issue). Any idea of the payloads and a possible launch date?

CZ-4B Y17 went up in 2007 with CBERS-02B?

Target launch date for ZY-3/Vesselsat-2 is January 10.

LuxSpace says the launch will probably take place on the 9th.

I haven't found any new informations about the HY-1C HaiYang-1C and HY-1D HaiYang-1D so I'm taking them out of the list. If you have any info on this missions, please send me a message.

I'll keep the March schedule until some «official» note about the SZ-9 launch comes to light.

Looks like the HY-1C project hasn't even started yet!

FY-2F will be launched after ZY-3 (possibly in mid-January).

Phillip Clark · « **Reply #817 on:** 01/01/2012 07:08 pm »

In the launch listing for 2013 the launch vehicle for the Tiangong 2 mini-station is given as the CZ-7.

Is this correct? If Tiangong 2 is to be like Tiangong 1, then I would have thought it would also be launched on the CZ-2F(T?). Also I would be surprised if such a high profile payload would be on the maiden launch of the vehicle.

Phil, the information I had was that TG-2 was going to be launched by the CZ-2F/H that now is the CZ-7. If TG-2 if effectively is going to use the CZ-7, then we should expect some launches of this rocket before this mission.

If this correct then I would expect the Shenhou launches to continue out of Jiuquan since the Chinese have invested so much in the infrastructure there.

Iam not sure of any rumoured maiden launches of the CZ-7, though, before 2013 or so.
