According to the Brazilian Space Agency, the launch of CBERS-3 is scheduled for next December.
Sounds like a good candidate for the primary payload that the cubesat from Poland is launching with.

According to
CBERS-3 - China e Brasil lançam ao Espaço ainda em 2013 (in Portuguese) the previously December 27th schedule launch of CBERS-3 was anticipated for the first ten days of that month.
The request to anticipate the launch was because of the New Year festivities in Brazil.

A Brazilian paper says December 10 but with the strange launch site quoted their reliability could be questioned!

Com Atraso de 1 Ano, Brasil e China Definem, Enfim Data de Lançamento do Novo CBERS "With a one year delay, China and Brazil finally decide the launch date for CBERS-3"
This information was also given by the Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) - Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Brazil.
Also, in several interviews Leonel Perondi, Director of INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - National Institute for Space Research) said that the launch would be on December 10.

Probably a journalist confused with 'Taiyuan' and 'Taiwan', that in Portuguese sound exactly the same.

o lançamento do satélite está programado para as 11h do dia 10 de dezembro, no horário de Pequim (zero hora, em Brasília).
O CBERS-3 vai substituir o CBERS-2B, que deixou de operar em 2010.
It's worth noting that CBERS-2B, which CBERS-3 is supposed to replace, was launched at 11:26am (Beijing time)

The latest information I got from INPE was that the launch would take place at 10:00 local time, that gives 0200UTC

The latest information I got from INPE was that the launch would take place at 10:00 local time, that gives 0200UTC
That would require some deviation from the
planned SSO LTDN of 10:30 - the earlier CBERS satellites were launched at 03:15, 03:16 and 03:26 UTC respectively, and I don't see any reason to move to an earlier launch time.

I agree and INPE itself is confirming a 10:30am LTDN

I also found it strange, but the information I posted early came directly from INPE via email.

About the launch time...
Originally, Leonel Perondi, Director of INPE said that the launch would be on December 10 at 11:00 local time, also saying that the launch would take place at 00:00 Brasilia time.
Until February 16, 2014, Brazil will be on Summer Time (UTC-2h, and a 10 hour difference for Beijing). So, if the launch takes place at 11:00 local time, this will be 01:00 in Brasilia (and 0300UTC).
The information INPE told me was that the launch would take place at 10:00 local time, that is 00:00 in Brasilia (0200UTC).
