  Possibly based on the information available on Spaceflightfans.cn that when they don't know the exact launch date, they give the last day of the month.
• #10 by Raging Bool on 21 Jan, 2021 18:44
• Tim's site pulls data from what's in the LaunchLibrary database. What's in that database is often marked as the last day of the month, if there's no actual information available.

• It seems like this rocket and the payload have been named after the game "Peace Elite" developed by Tencent. The videogame is some kind of war simulation game that supports VR, and the goal of Tencent is to offer a VR experience of the launch and to use the satellite to provide base map services for 3D simulation scenes inside the game.
  
  People on 9ifly are suggesting in particular 8 May as launch date since on 8 May 2019 that game was released.

  Jilin-1 Gaofen-02F launch scheduled September 27 UTC.
  
  Will this launch soon follow?
  

  There is almost a week delay from the original dates, so... I would also expect the same now, the first release on September 27 and Resolution 02D for the first week of October. This is just my opinion though.
• #23 by zubenelgenubi on 26 Sep, 2021 00:36
• An orbital launch "three-fer" on September 27  UTC:
  This launch;
  An unknown payload aboard a CZ-3B from Xichang;
  And Landsat 9 aboard an Atlas V from Vandenberg.

  China Space News says that ExPace along with the Kuaizhou Rocket Final Assembly and Adjustment Center (Phase I) located at the Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base now have the capacity to build up to 20 solid rockets per year following the pandemic that originated in this city.

  At present, the Kuaizhou Rocket Final Assembly and Adjustment Center (Phase I) located at the Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base has been put into use, mainly for final assembly testing of Kuaizhou solid carrier rockets, and now has the final assembly and test capability of producing 20 rounds of solid launch vehicles per year.

• Before the blackout, we knew that the launcher for Jilin-1 Gaofen-02D would be designated Kuaizhou-1A (Y4 "Heping Jingyinghao") and the satellite Jilin-1 Gaofen-02D "Heping Jingyinghao". Is there any reference to this on the official Chinese news?
