Chinese launch schedule

• #1740 by Satori on 17 Dec, 2018 16:23
• China can still achieve 40/41 orbital launches in 2018. No information regarding possible launches from Jiuquan or Taiyuan.
• #1741 by Galactic Penguin SST on 18 Dec, 2018 00:27
• To clarify, this is the current situation at the original 3 Chinese launch sites:
  
  Xichang
  
  - TJS-3 on CZ-3C (rumored on December 25) - payload name and rocket was confirmed officially thanks to a CZ-3C certified for shipping to launch site press release by CALT, but nature of satellite still up in the air.
  
  - The next launch there afterwards is apparently the last old generation BDS-2 replenishment navigation satellite still on the ground (BDS-2 G8? Or maybe -I8?), so January 2019 it is.
  
  Taiyuan
  
  - ZY-1-02D on CZ-4B - Nothing has been heard of it so far. spaceflightfans.cn current list this on December 29, but with a question mark.
  
  Jiuquan
  
  The situation is very confusing there with the possibility of a CZ-2D, a CZ-11 and a KZ-1A all possible to launch in the last 2 weeks of 2018!
  
  - The one launch that is fairly certain is the CZ-2D (late December), reported to be carrying the first test satellite of CAST's Hongyan LEO comsat constellation. Several unspecified other satellites built by DFH Shenzhen (some say 9 total on this launch) are probably also on board. This launch may be the first time the YZ-3 upper stage is used.
  
  - spaceflightfans.cn also lists KZ-1A s/n Y7 to launch on December 26 (delayed from November 25 as of September?), but so far the payload is unknown. So far CASIC has yet to announce any launches in the near future.
  
  - Also listed is a CZ-11 launch in late December, originally attributed to launching the next batch of satellites for the Zhuhai-1 constellation - however the company stated a few days ago that their next launch is next year. 2 test satellites for the Lingque constellation, an EO microsat constellation from a Beijing based company, is listed instead as the payload on this flight by spaceflightfans.cn.

  Thanks for the summary! I guess OneSpace OS-M1 test flight is off the list for this year then...

  The KZ-1A launch is now out of the schedule of spaceflightfans.cn.

  【实现网络无差别全球覆盖中国“虹云工程”首颗卫星即将发射】中国“虹云工程”天基互联网首颗技术验证卫星将于12月21日由长征-11运载火箭发射升空。预计2022年，“虹云工程”将完成156颗星座部署，届时无论身处何时何地，都能用上航天科工自主研发的“星链”wifi，实现网络无差别的全球覆盖。

  [Implementation of Network Undifferentiated Global Coverage China's "Hongyun Project" The First Satellite to Be Launched] China's "Hongyun Project" Tianji Internet's first technology verification satellite will be launched by the Long March-11 carrier rocket on December 21. It is estimated that in 2022, "Hongyun Project" will complete the deployment of 156 constellations. By then, whenever and wherever, the "Star Chain" wifi independently developed by Aerospace Science and Technology will be used to achieve undifferentiated global coverage of the network.
  
  Error in translation? Error in writing the news?
  
  Well, if this the case... so what the hell will be launched on December 29?
  
  We were expecting the ZY-2D to be launched from Taiyuan, but can it be launched from Jiuquan?

  【实现网络无差别全球覆盖中国“虹云工程”首颗卫星即将发射】中国“虹云工程”天基互联网首颗技术验证卫星将于12月21日由长征-11运载火箭发射升空。预计2022年，“虹云工程”将完成156颗星座部署，届时无论身处何时何地，都能用上航天科工自主研发的“星链”wifi，实现网络无差别的全球覆盖。

  [Implementation of Network Undifferentiated Global Coverage China's "Hongyun Project" The First Satellite to Be Launched] China's "Hongyun Project" Tianji Internet's first technology verification satellite will be launched by the Long March-11 carrier rocket on December 21. It is estimated that in 2022, "Hongyun Project" will complete the deployment of 156 constellations. By then, whenever and wherever, the "Star Chain" wifi independently developed by Aerospace Science and Technology will be used to achieve undifferentiated global coverage of the network.
  
  Error in translation? Error in writing the news?
  
  Well, if this the case... so what the hell will be launched on December 29?
  
  We were expecting the ZY-2D to be launched from Taiyuan, but can it be launched from Jiuquan?
  

  
  The source of the confusion is that there are 2 Chinese LEO comsat constellation plans by CAST and CASIC respectively and their names are similar in Mandarin. 
  
  The CAST one is called Hongyan and 1-2 of its test satellites are reported to be launched on the CZ-2D flight on December 29.
  
  The CASIC one is called Hongyun and 1 of its test satellite is reported in your post to be launching on the CZ-11 flight on December 21.
  
  It is unfortunate that the 2 names sounds very similar in Mandarin when their meanings are very much unrelated: Hongyan means "Big Geese" while Hongyun means "Rainbow Clouds".

  Concerning launch codes for JSLC between October 9 and December 29, I have confirmed identifications only for CZ-2C/YG 32 Group 1 launch (October 9) as "01-95" and for CZ-2D/Hongyan & al. (December 29) as "01-99".
  Can anyone please help with confirmed launch codes for the 5 launches in-between those dates?
