Rumors of a possible launch from Xi Chang on the last ten days of July, probably BeiDou-2 'Compass-M2'.
Quote from: Satori on 07/11/2011 12:20 pmRumors of a possible launch from Xi Chang on the last ten days of July, probably BeiDou-2 'Compass-M2'.If the minimum turnaround time between 2 launches at XSLC is 21 days as previously stated (and possibly demonstrated with ZX-10/TL-1B), it seems difficult to have a launch at end of July with TL-1B launch later to-day and Paksat-1R planned for August 14..

July 26th. Sources: source1,source2 and 9ifly
Rui,In the schedule, concerning the Beidou-2 launches in 2011 and 2012, I propose the following changes from what we have learnt from IGSO-4 launch:
If the same turnaround time is achieved at JSLC for SJ-11-4 / SJ-11-2 as for SJ-11-2/ SJ-11-3, ie 23 days, SJ-11-4 could be launched around August 21.
