First BeiDou-3 launch in 2019.
-
According to reports the next launch from Xichang, previously reported to be on June 25, is a BeiDou-3 launch, and is probably this one. (http://www.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=89701&pid=659794)

Apparently it will be BDS-3 IGSO-2 instead.

The source is the program for a kid's science camp there which included watching a launch from Xichang on that day at around 8 pm (=12:00 UTC).
However I am not sure these are the satellites flying on it....

CZ-3B on LC 2

9ifly now indicates the launch to be on September 22 at 20:35 UTC.
CZ-3B s/n Y65 will be used for this launch.
-
Fun fact: This will be the fourth consecutive Chinese orbital launch in a row, with no other countries inbetween. That's a new Chinese record, after today's record of three Chinese launches in a row, which also never happened before. Of course with some "help" from a burning Japanese launch pad. But even if HTV-8 had launched on 10 September, this CZ-3B would set a new Chinese record of three launches in a row.
The U.S. did four successful consecutive launches in 1961, the Soviet Union in 1966. 53 years later, China is set to be the third.

Seems like the launch time will be closer to 21:00 UTC (the previous report, based on local tour operators, has the time as 20:30 - 21:30 UTC).

Its launch time at Xichang! Waiting for news from the usual sources...
-
Notification of local residents of China about the upcoming launch of the rocket from the Xichang cosmodrome: In China, on September 23, 2019, a temporary restricted area for all modes of transport was announced at the Xichang satellite launch center and southwestern China"
-
Reports of earthquake in Xichang from local student, so launch might have taken place...
-
Already launched!
-
It will take about four hours for the mission to be completed, so confirmation of launch success should arrive around 0100UTC on September 23.

Launch success has been confirmed with T-0 indeed at 21:10 UTC. These pair of satellites are built by CAST and carries new lightened hydrogen maser clocks.

9月23日5时10分，我国在西昌卫星发射中心使用长征三号乙/远征一号运载火箭成功执行一箭双星发射任务，将第47颗和第48颗北斗导航卫星发射升空。
本次任务标志着北斗三号组网开始从基本系统向完整系统过渡和升级，也意味着今年的北斗卫星开始进入高密度发射期。执行此次发射任务的是长征三号乙/远征一号运载火箭，此次是金牌火箭长三甲系列的第104次发射，也是长征系列运载火箭的第312次飞行。

Bing translation.
"On 23 September, at 0510 hours, China successfully carried out the "One Arrow And Two Stars" launch mission at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center using the Long March III B/Expedition1 carrier rocket, launching the 47th and 48th Beidou navigation satellites. The mission marks the beginning of the transition and upgrading of Beidou III network from the basic system to the complete system, and also means that this year's Beidou satellite began to enter a high-density launch period. The launch mission was carried out by the Long March III B/Expedition 1 carrier rocket, the 104th launch of the "Gold Rocket" Long Sanaa series and the 312nd flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets."

Please note that there are some reports out there that the satellites are # M23 & M24, and probably not M19/20 as originally guessed. This needs some direct confirmation though.
This is the 6th and apparently last pair of Beidou-3 MEO satellites from CAST. The last two pairs will apparently come from CAS.

The deduction (or information) that these two satellites are Beidou-3M23 and Beidou-3M24 is based on this photo posted on the 9ifly Chinese space forum and shows a preparation meeting of members from the Fifth Academy before the launch.

I agree this is definitive now, MEO23 and MEO24 are correct. Thanks to admins for correcting the thread title.
