NOTAM Link (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=57867.msg2466259#msg2466259)
The route and drop zone is new, might be Kuaizhou-1B?
-
Wasn't the rocket supposed to be launched for the first time in 2024?

The luanch time delayed to April 5. (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=57867.msg2469072#msg2469072)
-
Doubt this will launch on the 5th now with the Hyperbola-1 still on the same pad.
The NOTAM above is active till April 10.
-
It still active, change to TDB when NOTAM is removed.
-
Is it still active?
-
Is it still active?
Yes, but the zone is active till the 10th. In the previous attempt there are other zones within China issued, this has not happened yet.
-
I hope they will be launched on May 5, because tomorrow is Qing Ming Festival, a spacial day in China!
-
There is no NOTAM from Chian, so it will be impossible on April 7.
-
Though most of launch in the 1st of NOTAM, Kuaizhou-1A might be at the last day this time, or it will be delayed again.
-
Though most of launch in the 1st of NOTAM, Kuaizhou-1A might be at the last day this time, or it will be delayed again.
The Kuaizhou-1A that was supposed to launch as per the NOTAM hasn't launched yet. Maybe the latest NOTAM was cancelled?

The NOTAM was not cancelled but Expired！

The NOTAM from Jiuquan, the route looks like Kuaizhou-1A. (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=57867.msg2494645#msg2494645)

6月首飞！“梁溪号”飞船来了 (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/M2uyDZnXbNmYZWb63r-bIw)
First flight in June! The spaceship "Liangxi" is here
Recently, the 2023 "China Aerospace Day" home event and the China Aerospace Conference opened at the Binhu International Convention and Exhibition Center in Hefei. As an important exhibitor of the exhibition, AZSPACE brought a real "returner spacecraft" to the air show, and also brought some scientific instruments for on-orbit testing.
Ziwei Technology is a commercial small spacecraft and space exploration and return solution provider. Currently, it has the design and development capabilities of 14 scientific research instruments such as organ chip fluorescence microscopy imaging system, growth environment simulation system, and radiation particle detector. The on-orbit instruments and equipment have achieved continuous and safe operation for more than 700 days. The products of Ziwei Technology are both diversified and stable, which greatly enriches the options of commercial aerospace products.
The "Liangxi" spacecraft is an aviation return vehicle, which focuses on small-scale space-to-earth round-trip cargo transportation, and can continue to return to the earth with a full load of 300kg cargo. The electronic components inside the returner can be reused, and can provide environmental data, radiation dose, force, heat, noise, impact, temperature, humidity and other research data, and can also be customized according to customer needs. The designed track-remaining module has been in orbit for about one year under control, and the return module's on-orbit running time can also be customized from a few days to dozens of days according to demand.
The Liangxi（梁溪号）will be launched in June 22 by CZ-2D from Xichang, as travle firms said there is a launching on that day.
The paylod might be Liangxi cargo spaceship?
-
Launch window and zone seems to be completely the same as for the (suspected KZ-1A) launch that was scrubbed way back on March 27, once rescheduled for early April but never happened. They are probably the same one.
-
The payloads might be Weli Kongjian Yihao Xitong (微厘空间一号系统).

Kuaizhou-1A is back on schedule for launch after being delayed for more than 2 months. New time according to NOTAMs: ~02:30UTC on June 09

The payloads might be S7/S8.

龙江三号试验卫星发射成功
At 10:35 today, the Kuaizhou-1A solid carrier rocket was ignited and lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, sending my country's first flat-panel new system communication test satellite "Longjiang-3" to the It entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. This mission is the 20th launch of the Kuaizhou-1A solid carrier rocket.
The payload is Longjiang-3 (龙江三号).
-
Longjiang-3 is prototype communication satellite by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), to test a new satellite platform "in the shape of a plate" (you know, like that constellation that starts with an "S") for future LEO high speed communication satellite constellations uses.

At least mystery solved regarding the payload carried to orbit by today's Kuaizhou-1A launch, given that you earlier considered the Weli Kongjian Yihao Xitong (微厘空间一号系统) to be the possible payload.

LC 95A or B ?
Video below shows LC-95A

Longjiang-3 cataloged in a 490 x 500 km x 49.1 deg orbit. The KZ-1A 4th stage made a perigee lowering burn to a 132 x 557 km orbit and will make an uncontrolled reentry in a few days
