Yuanwang 6 tracking ship left port today. This is expected to be to support the Tianwen-1 launch, though not stated (and interestingly will support missions will in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans across one, 100+ day outing).
Where will the ship be located for the Tianwen-1 launch? Somewhere down-range in the Pacific?
Follow-up: No position updates since leaving port. Destination: OPEN SEA.

I'm getting a -27 launch azimuth. If I'm not tracing it wrong, they pass over Neuquén's 35m deep space TT&C station. It's interesting because it's on the opposite side of the the orbit.

Will any propulsive or fuel dump events be occurring over Argentina region? Depending on altitude, some might be sunlit and widely visible from the ground, I'm still checking.

It looks likely there won't be an official one. It's still a bit too early in the day for spectators' ones to appear just yet, I'll continue to check.
