Congratulate! China's successful launch of an arrow nine stars ( Weiwu) today at 11:22, China in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center with the Long March IV B carrier rocket, the successful launch of the China-Pakistan Earth Resources Satellite 04A star. The satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit, and the mission was a complete success! The China-Pakistan Earth Resources Satellite 04A is the sixth satellite developed by China and Brazil in cooperation. The mission also carried the launch of the Ethiopian microsatellite, Tianqin 1 technology test satellite, YuHeng satellite, Shuntian satellite, Tiantou 01 satellite, Tianqi 02 satellite, futural -1R satellite, Brazil 1U small satellite and other 8 satellites!

New commercial satellite launched in north ChinaXI'AN, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- A new commercial satellite was successfully launched from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province Friday.The "BDSAGR-1" satellite has entered its scheduled orbit and is expected to provide accurate remote sensing data on crops in the river basins in north China and help modernize and digitalize China's agricultural industry.The satellite belongs to the first phase of the "Guozhiheng Agricultural Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation" project jointly engineered by GasTianta and GZH-HNJ BDS AGR Co., Ltd.Zeng Weigang, general manager of GasTianta, said the satellite was designed to operate in a sun-synchronous orbit with an orbit period of 96 minutes.Zeng added that the project will eventually form a remote sensing satellite constellation consisting of 40 satellites covering the whole country."As a traditional agricultural country, there is still much room for improvement in the application of remote sensing satellites in China's agricultural field," said Zeng."We will continue to deepen the R&D and marketing of commercial aerospace technology and explore the application of remote sensing satellite technology in areas such as agricultural resources investigation, crop monitoring, disaster monitoring and food safety traceability," he added.Source: Xinhua| 2019-12-20 17:00:46|Editor: mingmeihttp://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-12/20/c_138646340.htm

(ideally pasting the Kanji, I can't copy from the image to google translate).I assume it refers to the two NUDT satellites but I can't make it out.

It looks like the sequence is:T+798 CBERS 4A sepT+833 Upper adapter sepT+868 medium-large payload Tianqin 1 sepT+905 medium-small payloads NUDT sats? and Tianyan-02 sepT+947 small payloads Ethiopia, Floripa, Tianyan-01, and Guozhi.. (Weilai1R) sepBut this doesn't seem consistent with the rest of the discussion about the payloads which shouldbe medium size: ETRSS, Guozhi/Weilai-1R, Yizheng/Tianyan-01medium-small: Tianqin-1small : Floripa, Tianyan-02unknown but probably small: NUDT sats Yuheng and ShuntianClarification sought :-)
