This would correspond to a LTDN = 23:20 or so. Kind of strange.

That launch time lines up with the orbit of Yaogan-33 launched in December 2020.

Well, I don't believe that the March 30 Jiuquan bird may be the same as the April 2 Taiyuan one. I think we should expect two launches.

It seems that the Chinese sources are starting to back off from the GF-12-02 theory for the March 30 one due to only one NOTAM zone and Yuan Wang 6's latest movements, some say it might be CZ-2D instead (and if so we don't know what could be on board).

Indeed the NOTAMed area is closer to what it was for several CZ-2D launches (ie Nov 20, 2011; April 26, 2013 or Dec 3, 2017)

Interestingly Chinese forums that I track seems to swung back towards the GF-12-02/CZ-4C theory based on Yuan Wang 6 tracking ship circling the downrange area in the Indian Ocean again, which is not necessary for CZ-2D launches.
I guess we won't know until after it launches...
