As there is no commonality between CZ-2C and the 3rd stage of CZ-3B, there should be no delays caused by the April 9 launch failure of Nusantara-2?

It seems that 45462 (2020-021C) has not stabilized in its expected orbital position.
Might this issue with a satellite from the previous "batch" delay this launch?

From a private source in China I learned that the next launch at XSLC is scheduled for Oct 12. Because 9ifly is saying that YG-30-7 has arrived XSLC on Sep 19 or 20 the planned launch could be those satellite. Yes, of course, very inofficial.
Looking at discussions there people seems to think that the Oct. 12 date will be for CZ-3B/GF-13 with the YG-30 group coming in the slot afterwards (late October probably).

Could this be the next Xichang orbital launch? From LC3?

The coordinates of the closed zone are identical to those when launching 3 spacecraft Yaogan-30 gr 05 (cm # 0), therefore, the launch routes should also be identical, then it is appropriate to use the old map

If launched at 15:15 UTC or so, the spacecraft will fill the final sixth plane of the system.
I count plane 1 after the first launch and plane 5 with two launches into it.
