Given the failure of the KZ-1A launch on September 12 UTC, will the launches of Jilin-1 Gaofen-02D and 02F be delayed?

NOTAMs A3505/20 & A3506/20 are still active at this time

These are gone.

According to Chinese sources for the 3 launches of the Jilin-Gaofen satellites KZ-1A Y3, Y4, and Y5 are used.

Launch to take place possibly in April 2021.

Is this a KZ-1A? Apparently, yes.

If so, would it launch JL-1 GF-02D or 02F?

Launch in the middle third of September. Satellite F precedes satellite D.
(The hyperlink references the D satellite, but all the content references satellite F.)
#7 by Satori on 24 Aug, 2021 13:28
Schedule for September 19, according to Spaceflightfans.cn.

I also checked, I did it in (http://frost-design.be/notammap/?) but there is nothing, I looked for the NOTAM of previous launches of this rocket (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=46452.msg1986396#msg1986396) (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=49277.msg2015093#msg2015093) but there is also nothing or something similar.
#11 by Galactic Penguin SST on 27 Sep, 2021 07:05
Note that the KZ-1A today went up with HR-02D and not 02F, however CASIC does confirm that their next KZ-1A is also at launch site and will launch very soon, presumably with this one.

Looks like we have some information about the launch, could someone check if there is any NOTAM or NOTMAR about the date the release states?

2 zones would probably rule out this as related with this, but I can’t think what this is either.
#14 by Conexion Espacial on 16 Oct, 2021 04:35
These would be the two drop zones, comparing this NOTAM with the NOTAM of the KZ-1A Jilin-1 Gaofen-02C launch, they are practically the same, so I would say that they are for the Jilin-1 Gaofen-02F launch.

It seems that the delay was caused by, "Covid-19 cases found in Jiayuguan, near Jiuquan City. They need to examine all staff members of the center."

It remains to be seen but this is one source that hints at a scrub.
#25 by Conexion Espacial on 25 Oct, 2021 13:39
So it seems that the countdown did start this time but stopped while the rocket was still horizontal, it would be interesting to know what the cause was since it seems that the pandemic restrictions were not a problem. Maybe a failure in the ground equipment or in the rocket itself?

According to one internal source at CASIC, the launch has been successfully conducted with satellite separation & solar panels deployment confirmed.

China's Kuaizhou-1A rocket launches satellite
Source: Xinhua| 2021-10-27 14:59:03

JIUQUAN, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- China on Wednesday sent a new satellite into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province.

The Jilin-1 Gaofen 02F satellite was launched by a Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket at 2:19 p.m. (Beijing Time) and entered the planned orbit.

It was the 12th flight mission of the Kuaizhou-1A series rockets, according to the launch center.
