According to this official news, XSLC will conduct 7 launches from now till Feb 2018, including this one. Previous news indicated this would be 3 satellites on board, similar to Yaogan-30 01

If I read that correctly, that's a NOTAM from 18:00 to 18:27 UTC on 24 November.

Here is the same NOTAM for 1st stage debris in a more usual format:
A3444/17 - A TEMPORARY RESTRICTED AREA ESTABLISHED BOUNDED BY: N263510E1072251-N264300E1065708-N265820E1070259-N265028E1072844 BACK TO START. VERTICAL LIMITS: GND-UNL. GND - UNL, 24 NOV 18:00 2017 UNTIL 24 NOV 18:27 2017. CREATED: 17 NOV 03:12 2017
Practically identical to the one for Yaogan-30-01

Admitting these are SIGINT sats, can we expect a new Jianbing designation for the YG-30-XX series?

Very possible. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Launch time will be at 18:08 UTC. (http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=89653&pid=569252)
This will happen in dead middle of night on this side of Earth so I have an excuse to play with computer games an hour longer to wait for news. ;)

Liftoff confirmed.

Launch time was 18:10 UTC
-
Expected launch code is "07-81"
-
The official Chinese name of the payload "遥感三十号02组卫星" would translate as "Yaogan-30 Group 2"
-
Reminder to all. We're now waiting for Chinese State Media info. Those are the links to post in here as they are the only media reports that will add more information to compliment Rui's article.

New orbital plane is 119° west of the first one. So we should see the third launch to the third plane, 120° east of YG30-01.

Given the spacing between the first launch and the second launch we can roughly expect the third launch sometime in February 2018.

A further assumption, based on observation of past habits of Chinese launch campaign scheduling:
The launch would need to precede Chinese New Year: Friday, February 16, 2018.

Chinese launch vehicle factory numbers? Missing rockets CZ-2C: Y29? Y30?

Well this just popped up:
Yaogan-30-03 - CZ-2C - XSLC - Late 2017 or Early 2018

火箭序号 遥三十 Serial number of the rocket Y30 - CZ-2C(Y30)/Chang Zheng-2C(Y30)
Hmm is that an "insider source" or just someone's wiki note which anyone can edit? So far I have yet to see any serial number from direct public sources. :-\

I hope that I translate it correctly but iaccording to the information printed on various XSLC souvenir items the serial number is Y33.

The debris of the satellite launch vehicle crashed into a village in the southern part of [Guizhou] province.

The article recollects 30 years of falling rocket debris protection in Guizhou province
