According to reports the satellite on board this flight is Tianqi-11, from the same series of LEO IoT communications satellites that has been launched on various flights over the past 2 years.
Target orbit is 500 km high, 97.4° incl. SSO with launch azimuth 191.6° and a projected launch phase of 900s long and 4700 km down-range distance.
Apparently it also got a mission name a la Rocket Lab: "I believe I can fly".
