NUDT's press release indicates some information on their micro-satellite:
1. The satellite weights just 9.3 kg, with the size being at 425 mm x 410 mm x 80 mm. The project was started 3 years ago.
2. The satellite is the first Chinese nano-satellite that integrates the functions of satellite control, power distribution, data transfer and attitude control onto a single integrated electronic board.
3. The satellite will perform experiments on optical imaging, detection of on-orbit atomic oxygen intensity and receiving signals from the marine
Automatic Identification System (AIS).
4. The satellite separated from the LV 13 minutes and 40 seconds after launch.

Launch azimuth (passing through the center of the NOTAMed zone) is 193°
It's true and spherical triangles give us the inclination is 100 deg.
My opinion - this is analog of YG-8.
As we see another launch vehicle (CZ-4B as with YG-5/12 vs. CZ-4C for YG-8) I now believe we are wrong. Probably launch azimuth should be corrected for rotation of Earth.

A particularly low orbit -- in my version, 97.24° 466x479 km (over 6378 km sphere) 94.10 min.
Local time of descending node = 14:14.

My version gives a period of 94.04 min and the same LTDN

If this is a Jianbing-8 class satellite like Yaogan Weixings 5 and 12, maybe the launch vehicle has slightly under-performed?
Then again another Jianbing-8 so soon after Yaogan Weixing 12 would be unusual.

Then again another Jianbing-8 so soon after Yaogan Weixing 12 would be unusual.
The LVs for Yaogan 5 and 12 had smaller payload fairings, so it is unlikely that Yaogan 14 is JB-8 class.

Doubt it: the news report is an introduction to TSLC, and the footage used are stock ones....
