I recently read about this mission for the first time:
A Chinese company says that they’ll be launching an asteroid-mining robot by November.
Origin Space is a private company based in Beijing. Though they’re calling this an “asteroid mining robot,” it’s really a pre-cursor mission to actual mining. In reality, NEO-1 as it’s called, will be testing technologies aimed at the eventual mining of asteroids.
According to multiple news sources, NEO-1 will be launched on a Chinese Long March rocket as a secondary payload. The small, 30 kg (66 lbs) spacecraft will enter a 500 km altitude, Sun-synchronous orbit around Earth. In an interview with IEEE Spectrum, Yu Tianhong, an Origin Space co-founder, said that “The goal is to verify and demonstrate multiple functions such as spacecraft orbital maneuver, simulated small celestial body capture, intelligent spacecraft identification and control.”
It remains to be seen what progress the little NEO-1 will make, and if it’ll bring China any closer to actually mining an asteroid. The whole endeavour of asteroid mining is fraught with problems and difficulties. Still, the spacecraft might make some progress in testing technologies. Think of it as a prospector instead of a miner.
Back in 2014, the Chinese government got in on the space mining idea and decided to open up the industry. This led to a blossoming of private companies focused on space resources, who developed rockets and small satellites. Origin Space was established in 2017.
NEO-1 isn’t Origin Space’s only development. They’re planning on launching a sort of “mini-Hubble” space telescope. Its job will be to observe and monitor asteroids, and to identify candidates for utilization. It’s called Yuanwang-1 (‘Look up-1’), and is being built for Origin Space by DFH Satellite Co., Ltd, which is part of China’s state-owned space industry.
Then there’s NEO-2. It’ll be heading for the Moon sometime in 2021-2022. NEO-2 will execute a landing on the Moon, according to Origin Space, but the exact details of the mission are still being developed. NASA recently announced that they’ll buy Moon rocks and regolith from private companies, so maybe that’ll be part of NEO-2’s mission.

Sounds like they are following Planetary Resource technology map. Unfortunately for PR's business plan didn't workout.

China launch schedule
2021
June 20 - CZ-2D - JSLC, LC43/94 - ??, Haisi-2/Yangwang-1
May 30
What is this satellite? What is the source?
I found
Haisi-1 on Gunter's Page.
It launched December 22, 2020, 04:37 UTC.

In the same 9ifly thread (
https://9ifly.spacety.com/thread-94163-4-1.html) a new message refers to this satellite as Hisea-2, as an ideal successor of the Hisea-1 satellite launched during the Long March 8 maiden flight in December 2020. You can find a poster of the satellite below, with a shape matching the one of the satellite previously refferred to as "Beijing 3" in the same 9ifly thread.
Do you remember that four months ago, Xiamen University successfully launched a small synthetic aperture radar satellite - "Hesse-1", which can tell you how strong the wind is and how high the waves are!
As you know, its brother, "Hesse-2", a small high-resolution multi-spectral aqua satellite, will soon be launched in June of Xiamen University’s centennial anniversary !
It will take you to overlook the rivers, lakes and the sea, and tell you that the water is turbid and the plants can flourish?
"Haisi 2" was initiated by Xiamen University and jointly developed by aerospace Dongfanghong Co., Ltd., Fujian Tendering and Procurement Group Co., Ltd., Sanming Investment Group, and the Second Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Why is it called " HISEA-2 "?
"Hi, Sea!" The sea silk series of small satellites are named "海丝" because Xiamen University is located in Fujian, the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road; its English name HISEA is derived from the homophony of the southern Fujian dialect "海丝", and It coincides with "Hi, Sea!", which means greeting the sea; it is also the abbreviation of the full English name of the high-resolution multispectral small satellite:
High Resolution Water Color Imager.
Because of the "Hi Sea", everyone loves it. The silk brothers simply called HISEA regardless of the radar star or the aqua star, and they were only distinguished by the order of appearance and the use of digital codes.
(Sorry for the bad translation but, you know, Google Translate)

Different launch sites supposedly per the information we have and rockets are at both SLC's:
2021:
June 11 (~03:00) - CZ-2D - TSLC, LC9 - Beijing-3
June 17 (TBC) - CZ-2F/G (Y12) - JSLC, LC43/91 - Shenzhou-12
June 18 - CZ-2C - XSLC, LC3 - Yaogan-30 Group-09
June 20 - CZ-2D - JSLC, LC43/94 - ??, Haisi-2/Yangwang-1
June - KZ-1A (Y4) - JSLC - Jilin-1 Gaofen-02D

Haisi-1 was a secondary payload on the inaugural CZ-8 launch in 2020 (
launch thread).
Which is correct, Haisi or Hisea? What does the name mean?
Satellite name in Chinese is 海丝一号 which has the transliteration Haisi Yihao or Haisi 1. Google gives a translation of Sea Silk One.
Both are.
Hi Sea seems to be the initial name. 海丝 sounds equally and contains hai='sea'. Haisi is the transcription of 海丝.

Any relationship to the Beijing-1 satellite?
If so, what happened to "Beijing-2"?
First Generation, Second Generation and Third Generation (current).
2nd either goes by a different name, might have been lost in a rocket failure or will launch at a later date.

Go to
https://www.notams.faa.gov/dinsQueryWeb/ , insert a set of Chinese ICAO identifiers (e.g. ZBPE ZGJD ZGZU ZHWH ZJSA ZLHW ZPKM ZSHA ZWUQ ZYSH), press View NOTAMs, read the output and filter out the space-related NOTAMs which may exist or not in the moment.
