Cross-posts:
There are reports from tour operators that 4 launches from Xichang...are expected in May-June.
After YG-30-08 launched it was reported that they plan for another 7 (!) LM-2C launches this year. They also reported that procedures are being simplified to compress launch processing flows starting with the launch campaign for YG-30-10, so at least two more such triplets are going up soon.
Maybe even more since tour operators at Xichang is reporting 2 launches per month there through to August. Next one there should be FY-4B.

Tianqi-10 seriesTianqi-12 launched with
Yaogan-30 Group 08.
Tianqi-14 launched with
Yaogan-30 Group 09.
From the
Yaogan-30 Group 09 launch thread:
Tianqi-14 was namend Jiaxing-1(嘉兴号)
According to this source http://www.3snews.net/smartcity/260000072347.html the next satellites of the constellation will be launched on July 21st (Ruijin-1;瑞金号) and September 20th (Yan'an-1;延安号)
If the pattern continues, a
Tianqi satellite will launch with
Yaogan-30 Group 10.
The launch would be on July 21, an apparently sufficient time to turn around the facilities after
the launch of Tianhui-3 from Xichang.

That's confusing. Tianqi 14 was launched on 18 June.
https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/tianqi-8.htm
That's true, I'm sorry for misunderstanding. So, no new information for this launch.

For this launch?
<NOTAMs snipped>
The coordinates at the center of the 10km exclusion circle match the coordinates of XSLC.
The July 19 UTC launch time is 4 days "early" compared to the next-most recent launch date revealed. It may be a consequence of this:
Cross-posts:
After YG-30-08 launched it was reported that they plan for another 7 (!) LM-2C launches this year. They also reported that procedures are being simplified to compress launch processing flows starting with the launch campaign for YG-30-10, so at least two more such triplets are going up soon.

The launch time listed by the NOTAMs lines up with Group 02 (2017-075).

chinaspaceflightfans.cn
now lists launch time on July 19 as 08:16 BST.
08:16 BST - 8 hours = 0016 UTC
Launch site at XSLC stated as LC-2. This would break the alternating cadence between use of LC-2 and LC-3 and would break the practice of using LC-3 for
Yaogan-30 Group launches.

This is likely a typo as the previous launch from LC-2 was less then 2 weeks ago.
