4 objects have been cataloged by USSTRATCOM
2018-011A/43169 in 585 x 613 km x 34.95°
2018-011B/43170 in 599 x 606 km x 35.00°
2018-011C/43171 in 588 x 603km x 35.00°
2018-011D/43172 in 535 x 607 km x 35.00°
The 3 satellites (objects A, B and C) appear to be in the same plane (RAAN of 184° this morning) as group#3 as Liss predicted

I would guess that D is the rocket stage, but when Weina 1A is spotted in orbit I would expect that to become D and the rocket stage get a new international designator E and fresh catalogue number.

The way that the Chinese are, I am not even taking the "07" part of the launch code for granted!!

A better control room view (via 9ifly) confirming launch code as "07-84" and lift-off at 05:39:04.986 UTC

AFAIU "Wēinà-1A Wèixīng" (微纳-1A”卫星) translates as "micro-nano-1A satellite"

In August 2017 a company named Beijing Micro-Nano Star Technology Co., Ltd. was established. In an interview the general manager anounced the launch of 6 satellites in 2018 (

Well, here is Object E:
2018-011E/43173 in 396 x 603 x 34.96°
which looks like the rocket stage, so D could be Weina-1A
