This will be the second BeiDou satellite built by the CAS Micro-Satellite Engineering Center in Shanghai.
-
This has been deferred to 2016.
-
Likely this launch will be in early February, right before the Chinese New Year (which is on Feb 8th).
-
It has been confirmed this launch will follow the Belintersat-1 mission (upon its success) in early February, and this will also be the last experimental satellite of BeiDou Phase III. Source (http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=14874&pid=451562&fromuid=24484)

your Sentence doesnt make sense to me. Are they launching together now or what are you actually saying. Thanks RH117
-
I think beidou was saying that this launch will be the next one after Belintersat-1.
-
What is the source for the February 2 launch date?
-
What is the source for the February 2 launch date?
Of course there is no official information for the launch date as for any Chinese launches, it was just my prediction based on a normal processing time of 17 0r 18 days for CZ3A missions.

If that is a prediction, it shouldn't on the thread title.

An insider disclosed this will be a MEO bird (http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=14874&pid=452312&fromuid=24484)...
-
The rocket was docked on the launch pad on Tuesday (http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=14874&pid=453912&fromuid=24484).
-
According to Chinaspaceflight.com, launch will take place on February 2, local time.

Expect the launch mission codename to be 07-70
-
Will there be any livestreaming available?

No (not counting potential amateur video posted on Weibo ;) )

Expect the launch mission codename to be 07-70
Launch mission codename confirmed in the preparation for booster debris in Xinmin township, Panxian county, Guizhou province
source (http://www.pxzzb.gov.cn/index.aspx?lanmuid=62&sublanmuid=572&id=3139) (in Chinese)
So the boosters drop zone has not been NOTAMed (the first NOTAMed zone corresponds to 1st stage debris)
-
Still looking out for info about this launch, but it looks like that all sources are in tight lip mode at this moment. :-X
Unfortunately I'll be at work at scheduled liftoff time so please someone take over for the look out this time. ;)
-
Apparently launch has taken place
From Weibo:" windows are still in shock"[/font][/size]
-
Report of earthquake fear and scared baby! ...sounds like a launch
-
Rui's article on standby. Hopefully someone will have captured a photo to confirm, otherwise we're going to have to wait for the media to confirm (which takes a while with these).
-
We've got an amateur picture of the launch
-
Super!

A slightly larger format of the same picture (this was taken from a train! 8) )
-
No news of launch success yet, though this isn't surprising given the anticipated orbit of the satellite and the usage of an upper stage. Don't expect any news to come out until after 11:30 GMT. ;)

Success confirmed (http://news.sina.com.cn/c/nd/2016-02-01/doc-ifxnzanh0522074.shtml) (Xinhua via Sina)

2 objects have been cataloged by USSTRATCOM
2016-006A/41315 in 21513 x 21982 km x 55.00° (S/C)
2016-006B/41316 in 21870 x 27115 km x 55.17° (YZ-1?)

According to Xinhua (http://news.xinhuanet.com/tech/2016-02/01/c_1117960936.htm ) the satellite has 4 main functions:
1) navigation system transition from regional to global
2) inter-satellite links with the previous 4 Beidou-3
3) autonomous operation: the satellite can achieve "self-management"
4) space environmental exploration

Super!

It's amazing that pictures from previous irrelevant launches have been used in this report and they aren't replaced by some nice photos of this launch even they are actually posted in this thread. ;D

China really should reignite their stages like Russian hypergolic launchers do to deplete all the contents of the stages to best extent possible.
-
It has been expected this satellite would broadcast navigation signals with a PRN of 35.
