When the "epidemic" war is in progress | Fighting the epidemic with one heart

On May 15, the Tianlian-2 03 star test team went retrograde and went to the shooting range. In order to minimize the contact of the test team members with the society and ensure the life and health of the test team members, the Communications and Navigation Department made overall arrangements for the test team members to "chartered aircraft to enter the field" in advance, and strictly implemented the isolation requirements for the test team members' living areas after entering the field. The approach model adopts road transportation, which is difficult, long-term, and uncertain. It passes through many cities and has different epidemic prevention and control policies in different places. Rest in the container and go all out to escort the satellite safely into the field.
The Tianlian-2 02 was launched on December 14, 2021 from Xichang by CZ-3B.

Launch Day: The 7th data relay satellite, Tianlian-2-03, is expected to be launched by Long March 3B Y85 from Xichang on 07/12 at ~16:30 UTC Meanwhile, a solid rocket launch from Jiuquan is postponed to 07/25-30. It'd probably be maiden launch of ZK1A. Or, maybe, Kuaizhou-11?

#China successfully launched Tianlian No.2 03 star# [The spaceship position capture ability is stronger! The Changsan-3B rocket successfully launched the Tianlian-2 03 star] At 0:30 on July 13, the Long March-3B carrier rocket lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center and successfully sent the Tianlian-203 star into the predetermined orbit for launch. The mission was a complete success. my country's second-generation geosynchronous orbit data relay satellite system was officially completed, and the number of relay satellites has increased to 8. The most critical payload of the satellite is the antenna responsible for capturing and tracking, which can provide the satellite with a wide range and high precision to capture and track target users and provide users with the function of high-speed data transmission. This is the 426th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles. (Photo by Xiao Guojun and Gao Jian)

China launches new data relay satellite
Source: Xinhua Editor: huaxia 2022-07-13 01:43:14
XICHANG, July 13 (Xinhua) -- China sent a new data relay satellite into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province Wednesday.
The Tianlian II-03 satellite was launched at half hour to one o'clock Wednesday Beijing Time by a Long March-3B carrier rocket.
Tianlian II-03 is China's second-generation geosynchronous orbit data relay satellite.
It will provide data relay and TT&C (telemetry, tracking and command) services for manned spacecraft and low and middle orbit resources satellites. It will also support the TT&C for spacecraft launch.
This was the 426th flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series.

Liss is reporting this was a G2 rather than a G3: https://novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/articles/84145.html

I think this is an error. Previous launches used the G3. Pixel counting assuming a third stage diameter of 3 m, gives an estimate of 4.1 m for the fairing, right between 4.0 m for G2 and 4.2 m for G3!

I do not have an inside info on this but the fairing looks to be 4.0 m.

Wikipedia China writes

改进Ⅲ型     =   Improved Type III



With an estimated mass of the satellite of 5.5 tons, this sounds logical.

"CZ-3B/E" is a way to say "Enhanced CZ-3B". All CZ-3B/G2 and CZ-3B/G3 belong to the "CZ-3B/E" category.
