Is this a direct 5G constellation prototype, something similar to Ubiquitilink/Lynk.Global with their direct satellite 4G LTE system concept? SpaceNews is reporting that it's a 227Kg x 144 sat x 1150Km constellation for global coverage, but Q/V band which suggests not direct 5G...
http://www.yinhe.ht/indexEn.htmlThe visuals suggest a user terminal/wifi router, and the copy suggests the more realistic 5G backhaul. Their full satellite bus design, assuming that the illustration is representative, is similar to OneWeb. They also seem to have aspirations in the 1000 sat range.
Galaxy Space/Yinhe also seem to have aspirations for a secondary earth observation payload for global remote sensing coverage, selling "AI" service for monitoring, in the same sense as PlanetLabs imagery analysis for hedge funds and governments.

...[A]t least one insider reported that the next KZ-1A is slipping into January as the rocket didn't depart for launch site until today.

From this hashtag
#银河航天首发星发射升空
#Galaxy Space Star Launch
we get the transliteration for the first seven characters as "Yínhe Hangtian Shoufa Xing" or "Galaxy Aerospace Starting Star". The badge has the English name "GS SparkSat 03" which would have a transliteration of "Yínhe Hangtian Xinghuo 03". This Xinghuo 03 seems to have no relation to Xinghuo 01 and 02 which are remote sensing satellites.

The earlier `analyst orbit' may have been a trial search orbit of some kind.
The photos are surprising to me: this looks like a 1.8 x 1 m bus or so, which I would expect to be of the order of 300-500 kg,
beyond the advertised KZ-1A capacity.

I believe Chinese reports has it as 200 kg.

Chinese private satellite venture tests video call in 5G speeds via satellite in space
As many satellite startups plan to launch small satellites into Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) to provide global broadband internet services, a Chinese satellite provider now suggests 5G speeds.
After China's first LEO 5G broadband satellite successfully moved into its orbit earlier this year, the satellite maker, Galaxy Space, tested a three-minute video call by connecting to the internet provided by the satellite terminal in space recently.
The clear picture and swift response in the video call on Friday proves that the LEO 5G broadband satellite developed by the Chinese commercial startup is reliable, while the race between the world's economic superpowers to roll out 5G networks goes on.
The satellite, developed by Beijing-based private aerospace company Galaxy Space, connected the callers on earth by connecting to the WiFi hotspots provided by the satellite terminal in space, the company told the Global Times.
The terminal is China's first LEO 5G broadband satellite and was successfully delivered to its pre-selected orbit in January from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Northwest China's Gansu Province. It is able to cover an area of 300,000 square kilometers, roughly 50 times the size of Shanghai, according to Galaxy Space.
On February 16, the company started the communication test of the satellite and passed the world's first LEO broadband satellite in the Q/V/Ka band, an extremely high-frequency band.
Reports said Galaxy Space plans to launch 650 satellites in total, more than any other company in the country. Chinese technology company Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun invests in the company.
China included satellite internet into the "new infrastructure" list in recent days by ramping up its efforts to develop in the area. "New Infrastructure," as experts claimed, could offer both short-term relief and a long-term boost to the country's economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Such a move will speed up the development of the whole industrial chain from the upstream to the downstream and also shows the importance of China's 5G internet building and digital space economy cultivation, Xu Ming, CEO of Galaxy Space, told media.
Satellite internet is a wireless connection that involves three satellite dishes: one at the internet service providers' hub, one in space and one attached to the customer's home.
By launching a great number of satellites to form a constellation in the space, many companies across the globe are trying to grab a piece of cake in the lucrative space market, which also benefits people working or living in rural areas where land-based cables can't get coverage.
Companies in the U.S. and China are major participants, and more and more private aerospace startups from China have joined the sector after the authorities relaxed restrictions on the state-controlled industry in recent years.
