Heads-up/cross-post; I guess we'll be able to determine the payload when the NOTAMs are released and/or if there are pictures of the LV (CZ-3B vs. CZ-2C) on the pad before launch.
9ifly Chinese space forum is reporting that the Yaogan Weixing-30-06 triplet will be launched in October.
This is actually more of a guess than anything else, as 9ifly now indicates that the next launch out of Xichang (mid-October-ish) will be for BDS-3 IGSO-3.

At 01:43 on November 5, 2019, China successfully launched the forty-nine Beidou navigation satellites with the Long March III B carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The successful launch of the satellite marked the completion of the launch of all three tilted geosynchronous orbit satellites of the Beidou No.3 system.
On November 5, 2017, the first star of Beidou No. 3 was successfully launched and successfully entered the track, opening a new era of Beidou system global networking. In the past two years, the 7 major systems of the project, more than 300 participating research units, and tens of thousands of scientific researchers have successfully completed 16 satellite launch missions and successfully completed 24 Beidou 3 network satellites and 2 A Beidou-2 backup satellite is sent to the scheduled orbit. At present, the construction of the Beidou No. 3 system has entered the final stage of the final battle, and six Beidou No. 3 network satellites will be launched in the future to fully build the Beidou global system.
The Beidou navigation satellite and supporting carrier rocket launched this time were jointly developed by the China Academy of Space Technology and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology affiliated to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
This is the 317th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles. (Photo: Liu Changlian, Liu Xu)

XICHANG, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- China sent a new satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province at 1:43 a.m. Tuesday.
Launched on a Long March-3B carrier rocket, it is the 49th satellite of the BDS satellite family and the 24th satellite of the BDS-3 system.
It also marked that a total of three BDS-3 satellites have been sent into the inclined geosynchronous Earth orbit.
The launch was the 317th mission for the Long March series of carrier rockets.
The new satellites and the carrier rocket were developed by the China Academy of Space Technology and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
China will launch another six BDS-3 satellites to complete the BDS global network.
