The mission schedule is out!

Launched the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft in May;

In June, the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft was launched, and 3 astronauts were stationed in the core module and stayed in orbit for 6 months;

In July, the Wentian experimental module of the space station was launched and docked with the Tianhe core module;

In October, the Mengtian experimental module was launched to dock with the core module, and then the three modules of the space station formed the basic configuration of the "T" shape, completing the orbital construction of the Chinese space station;

The Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft and the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft will be launched later. The Shenzhou 15 flight crew consists of 3 astronauts. After rotating in orbit with the Shenzhou 14 astronauts, 6 will stay in orbit. moon.
I think Tianzhou-5 might be in November, and Shenzhou-15 must be in December.

According to this press release (https://amsat-uk.org/2022/03/20/cas-10-cubesat/) dated 20 March the CAS-10 cubesat is supposed to be launched in November 2022 on a Long March 7. Could it be another passenger of this launch together with all th ones already identified like Macao Science 1?

CAS-10 CubeSat has an Amateur Radio Transponder (https://amsat-uk.org/2022/03/20/cas-10-cubesat/)
Quote
CAMSAT’s CAS-10 is an 8U CubeSat that will carry an Amateur Radio VHF to UHF linear transponder for SSB communications.

A follow on mission from CAS-9 and also known as Hope-4 (XW-4) CAS-10 is an 8U CubeSat, approx 228 x455x 100mm, with a mass of 12kg. The satellite will carry:

1. A VHF uplink and UHF downlink linear transponder with a bandwidth of 30kHz. This transponder will work all day during the life cycle of the satellite, and amateur radio enthusiasts around the globe can use it for two-way radio relay communications.

2. A camera, and the pictures it takes are stored in the flash memory on the satellite, we have designed a simple remote control system based on DTMF, and amateur radio enthusiasts around the globe can send DTMF commands to download the camera photos.

3. A CW beacon to send satellite telemetry data, which is also a feature that is widely welcomed by amateur radio enthusiasts.

4. A AX.25 4.8k/9.6kbps GMSK telemetry downlink

Planning a launch in November 2022 from Hainan Launch Center using a CZ-7 launch vehicle into a 400km circular 42.9 degree inclination orbit.

Per interviews at CCTV the plan is for a very quick rendezvous & docking profile to the CSS as early as 2 hours (!) after launch, w/ 3 & 6.5 hours profiles available depending on orbit insertion accuracy.

This is also the 1st Tianzhou mission w/ manual docking back-up available.

China's Tianzhou-5 space truck sets world record.

Tianzhou 5 sets record by docking with Tiangong two hours after launch.

10:02 12.11.2022

BEIJING, November 12 - RIA Novosti. China's Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft set a world record on Saturday by docking with the orbital station just over two hours after being launched from the spaceport, China's manned flight program administration said.

The carrier rocket "Changzheng-7-Y6" with the cargo spacecraft "Tianzhou-5" was launched from the Wenchang Cosmodrome on Hainan Island on November 12, 2022 at 10.03 Beijing time (5.03 Moscow time), and already at 12.10 Beijing time (7.10 Moscow time). ) the truck docked with the rear port of the Tianhe main module of the Tiangong space station.

"This mission was the first to achieve autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking in two hours, setting a world record," the agency said in a statement.

It is noted that this technological breakthrough is of great importance for increasing the level of docking in orbit of Chinese spacecraft, as well as for improving the capacity of supplying the space station in emergency situations.

Thanks to the optimization of the rendezvous and docking control strategy, Tianzhou-5 docked with the station almost three times faster than Tianzhou-4 sent to Tiangong in May, then about 6.5 hours passed from launch to completion of docking.

The truck delivered to the station consumables, fuel and equipment necessary for a six-month stay and work in orbit for three astronauts from the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft, who are due to go to the station before the end of the year.

China began construction of the Tiangong National Orbital Station on April 29, 2021, when the Tianhe main module was successfully launched into orbit, the assembly of the station's main configuration was completed on November 3, 2022. The basic configuration of the Tiangong T-shaped station now consists of the main compartment of the Tianhe and two laboratory modules docked with it, Wentian and Mengtian, the three objects together weigh approximately 69 tons.

The total living space of the station reaches approximately 110 cubic meters, it can simultaneously accommodate three astronauts or six people during a crew change. The designed operational resource of the station is designed for 15 years - until 2038. In addition, at the end of 2023, it is planned to launch the Xuntian Autonomous Astrophysical Module with an optical telescope, which will periodically dock with the station for maintenance.

At the moment, the station has a crew of three manned spacecraft Shenzhou-14, which arrived at the Tiangong in July, this is the third crew on board the Chinese orbital station. The Shenzhou 14 crew is expected to take part in the first crew rotation at the Chinese orbital station, after which crew commander Chen Dong, China's first female astronaut Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe, making his first space flight, will return to Earth in December this year. , and the crew of the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft will remain in orbit.

I have found 2 confirmed : XW-4 (CAS 10), and Aomen Kepu (Aoke) from Macau.

XW-4 (CAS 10) : https://twitter.com/amsatuk/status/1589535316850790400

Aomen Kepu (Aoke) : https://www.macaubusiness.com/first-macau-scientific-satellite-launches/

In fact Macau Student Science Satellite I launched is *not* Aoke 1, which is quite another project.

According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Tianzhou-5 (天舟五号) cargo spacecraft was undocked from the Tianhe Core Module (天和核心舱) on 5 May 2023, at 07:26 UTC (15:26 China Standard Time), and started an “independent flight stage”. Tianzhou-5 will be re-docked to the China Space Station(中国空间站), on the front port of the Tianhe Core Module, after the departure of the Shenzhou-15  (神舟十五) crew spacecraft.

The Tianzhou-5 cargo ship, which undocked from the Chinese space station at 0846 UTC Sep 11, is reported to have made its deorbit burn and reentered at 0113 UTC. Its predicted ground track at that time was over the Pacific at 173E 13S

Allowing for the slower velocity post the deorbit burn, actual reentry point mght be more like 175E 14S, same general area of the Pacific
