That is two launches in one day for KZ-1A!
-
There are reports that the 2nd of the double flights tomorrow isn't Xingyun-2, but something else (ones says they are from the same company that operates HEAD-1, for a total of 6 satellites).
This is unconfirmed though (neither launches are really publicly announced as of right now), so just take a grain of salt right now until more info is available.

SFF Page. Gives launch at 8:50 UTC with a payload of six satellites. Says that Hede Aerospace, Tianyi Research Institute and Guodian Hi-Tech are the customers, launching two satellites each.

No mentioning of yet another KZ-1A launch today in the press releases of the previous launch. I wonder, I wonder.... ::)

Notams and the post by ExPace on weibo mentioning '1/2' are still up so considering it still a GO. https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4446831067302420
Guessing they don't want to delete first launch articles should second fail.

The launch occurred near sunset so people hundreds of kilometers away got to see a lightshow. This image was apparently taken in Beijing

"On December 7th, at 10:55, China successfully launched the "Jilin 1" Gaofen 02B satellite with the Kuai Zhou-1A carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre, and successfully entered the scheduled orbit.
At 16:52 on the same day, the Kuai Zhou-1A carrier rocket in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre, the use of "one arrow six stars" approach, the success of the "Hede 2" A/B satellite, Tianyi 16/17 satellite, Tianqi 4 A/B satellite launched, the satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit.
The Kuai Zhou 1 Carrier Rocket broke the record for the shortest time interval for the same launch station and the same type of rocket launch. It is also the first time that the Kuai Zhou-1 A carrier rocket has carried out an orbital launch mission at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre.
"Jilin 1" Gaofen 02B satellite is a new optical remote sensing satellite independently developed by Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. The star fully inherits the "Jilin 1" satellite mature single machine and technical foundation, with high resolution, large width, high-speed number transmission and so on. After the satellite is in orbit, it will be connected with the 14 "Jilin-1" satellites launched earlier, providing users with more abundant remote sensing data and product services for agriculture, forestry, resources, environment and other industries. The mission is the 8th launch of the Jilin-1 satellite project.
"Hede 2" A/B satellite is the "Skywalker" constellation of the first business stars, by Beijing and German Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. independent design and development, mainly for the global users to provide environmental awareness, material supervision, emergency communications enhancement, global ship and aircraft information collection services. Tianyi 16/17 satellite is a medium-resolution micro-nano-nano-nano-remote sensing satellite independently developed by Changsha Tianyi Space Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., and the comprehensive performance index reaches the international advanced level of similar satellites, which is mainly used to carry out satellite data applications such as disaster emergency monitoring, marine maritime applications, agricultural remote sensing services, polar environmental monitoring, etc. Tianqi 4 A/B satellite is a low-orbit Internet of Things satellite developed and produced by Beijing Guodian High Science and Technology Co., Ltd., the satellite into orbit, will achieve the operation of the five-star network, for the government, industry and other users to provide global Internet of Things data transmission and emergency communications, material tracking and situational awareness services.
Kuai Zhou-1A carrier rocket is a small solid launch vehicle developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. Aerospace Science and Technology Technology Co., Ltd., using international general interface, mainly for low-orbit small satellites to provide launch services, with high orbit accuracy, short preparation cycle, low launch cost and so on.
The two launches were the fourth and fifth missions carried out this year by the Kuai Zhou-1A carrier rocket."
