This CZ-2D arrived at JSLC on Oct. 16, so the launch date is definitely in November

Maybe for this launch?

Next duo of Chinese Gaojing (Superview) commercial EO satellites to launch in December, a year after the first couple.

One of the CZ-2D at Jiuquan might be for the GJ-1 pair,
but with a launch date of late December I am sure that another one will fly before it (and remember the last two flew from Taiyuan!), so no.

Here's a chain of deduction...
Given the above information, and if YG-31 is the newest spacecraft in the JB-6 program:
Then this launch into SSO would launch at the same time UTC, to the
minute, as YG-7, the 3rd member of the JB-6 program. (Also, a near match in launch dates--YG-7, December 9; YG-31, December 2)
And, therefore, would not YG-31 enter a similar SSO orbit with the same initial LTDN as YG-7?
http://www.zarya.info/Diaries/China/Yaogan/Yaoganprog.phpIs YG-31 meant to replace YG-7, or augment its capabilities?

I do not believe YG-24 and YG-30 (and GF-9 too) are members of the JB-6 series.

A Jianbing-6 follow-on series.

From what series do you think they are, Liss?

A Jianbing-6 follow-on series.
It is hard to see, if there is a difference between the JB-6 and a JB-6 follow-on series: Same launch vehicle, same fairing, same launch site and same orbit.

I know. There were multiple arguments for the new type:
(1) Four years interval before YG-24 against three years life expectancy of JB-6;
(2) A Chinese report on cameras test on YG-24 which is logical for a new design;
(3) Chief designer/administrator name for YG-24/GF-9/YG-30 was published but not for any of JB-6;
(4) Ground resolution of 2 meters for JB-6 and sub-meter for YG-24.

Not sure if this is related to this launch, if so this won't fly until December 3:
A3661/17 - A TEMPORARY RESTRICTED AREA ESTABLISHED BOUNDED BY:N330743E0981215-N331228E0974709-N340515E0980115-N340028E0982635 BACK TO START. VERTICAL LIMITS:GND-UNL. GND - UNL, 03 DEC 04:04 2017 UNTIL 03 DEC 04:32 2017. CREATED: 01 DEC 06:33 2017Note that there is another notice (A3662/17) with the exact same words except for listing the effective date as 23 December! I guess this one is a fluke?
