Jilin-1(07 & 08) and cubesats - CZ-11 - JSLC - January 19, 2018 (04:12 UTC)

• Jilin-1(07 & 08) and cubesats - CZ-11 - JSLC - January 19, 2018 (04:12 UTC) by Satori on 26 May, 2017 09:20
• A CZ-11 will launch several small sats (Xiaoxiang-2 to 5 / TY-2 to 5) on September 15, 2017, including an X-ray detector satellite (TY-4), an amateur astronomical satellite (TY-3) and two new technology test satellites (TY-2, TY -5).
  
  The satellites will be launched from Jiuquan to a 500 km altitude orbit at 97.4 degrees.

• My understanding is that Xiaoxiang 1 was TY 1 (launched on 9 November 2016 on the second CZ-11). Does anyone know what TY stands for?

  I think, this "Zhou Enlai" satellite built by the Huai'an Youth Comprehensive Development Base might be the "Huaian" satellite we have in the launch manifest.
