When were the first set of Zhuai-1 satellites launched? I couldn't find Zhuai-1 in Gunter's space page.

Thanks Little Flying Horse. The spelling was incorrect, which is why I couldn't find the satellite. Satori has now corrected the spelling. :-)

According some information from the 9ifly Chinese space forum, the satellites in board will be a OVS-2 upgraded version of Zhuhai-1 video sat and 4 hyperspectral sats from the OHS-2 series.

Maybe the designation OHS-2 is a typo. This source
http://www.zhsw.gov.cn/sww_xcb/xcgz/xcwh/201803/t20180307_25922458.htmlis calling the hyperspectral sats OHS-1A/B/C/D.

Can any of our Chinese speakers help with this? Did I understand correctly that the new OVS-2 satellite is named 'Guiyang-1'?

And also with this? The Qingkeda-1 satellite will also be on board as one of the hyperspectral satellites?

Yup. Qingkeda-1 is OHS-1-01 and Guiyang-1 is OHS-1-03.
As I understand the payload is 4 x OHS-1 & 1 x OVS-2.

Yup. Qingkeda-1 is OHS-1-01 and Guiyang-1 is OHS-1-03.
Qingkeda is the short for 青岛科技大学（Qingdao University of Science and Technology), and Guiyang is the provincial center of Guizhou. So these are names after sponsors/participants.

And possibly, the other sats will also have their own names.

Two of the launch photos in high-res (credit: Wang Jiangbo/Xinhua) - it's pretty hard to get one before for the CZ-11!
Also the company's logo looks rather......classical.

Someone also wondered about that on the Chinese forum I visit - perhaps the company simply skipped the 1st generation for the hyper-spectral sats.

JIUQUAN, April 26 (Xinhua) -- China on Thursday sent
five Zhuhai-1 remote sensing satellites into space on a single carrier rocket.
The Long March-11 carrier rocket lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 12:42 p.m. The launch was the 272nd flight mission for the Long March series of carrier rockets.
Zhuhai-1 is a commercial remote sensing satellite constellation invested in by Zhuhai Orbita Aerospace Science and Technology Co. It will provide data services for areas including agriculture, land and water resources, environmental protection and transport.
China launched two Zhuhai-1 satellites on June 15, 2017
