According to the Go Taikonauts! issue n.º 16, on 15 May, the first batch of flight models of payloads of the SJ-10 satellite were delivered for satellite integration. By the end of June, 28 of 29 payloads had been delivered.

Is it clear to anyone whether these two "seeds satellites" (as they were originally called) are derived from the JB-2 or JB-4 remote sensing/photoreconnaissance satellites? The lifetime of Shijian 8 fit with neither of these satellite series.

ABSTRACT
SJ-10 satellite will carry out the missions of space microgravity experiments in both
fields of physical science and life science on board the 24th recoverable satellite of
China. Scientific purpose of the program is to promote the scientific research in the
space microgravity environment by operation of recoverable satellite at low Earth
orbit for 2 weeks. There are 6 experiments of fluid physics, 3 of combustion and 8 of
materials science in the field of physical science, 3 experiments of radiation biology, 3
of gravitational biology and 4 of biotechnology in the field of life science. The
experiments were selected from more than 200 applications. The satellite will be
launched at the end of 2015 or later. Fruitful scientific results on microgravity science
and space life science are expected to be contributed by this program.
EDIT: let me highlight one.

Any news about this (e.g. a slightly more concrete launch date) given that ESA has quite a few experiments on board?

Mouse embryos in space, again.
The aims of the program are:
(i) to determine whether early mammalian embryo can develop in outer space or not; (ii) and if yes, to observe the development process during space flight by tele-transferring of the embryo photos from the satellite to the ground; (iii) to inves tigate the profiles of the early embryo development in space.
..
This investigation will be critical in understanding the beginning of mammalian life, as well as the first step in understanding the entire process of reproduction in space.
I like it

It looks like the launch may happen on
TODAY GMT (i.e. wee hours April 6 local time) based on reports on the Chinese forum, with the source being people involved with tracking SJ-10.

No NOTAMs till now, which isn't a surprise given the target 43 degree inclination orbit.

Why do you expect no NOTAM for this orbit inclination?

I wrote this when I thought it was going to a 63 degree inclination orbit. I only remember one such occasion where NOTAM was released. However other sources indicate a 43 degree target orbit.

lift-off should have already taken place!

Well, it looks like the launch had already taken place at 17:38 UTC and the satellite's in orbit!
