Gaofen-5
When I checked on August 18 and 19, according to spaceflightfans.cn, the launch of Gaofen-5 (02) will be on September 6, 2021, from Taiyuan LC-9.
(The same webpage also states Jiuquan LC-43/94 as the launch site, but the source material mentions the team exercise climbing a mountain on Army Day, August 1, to view the sunrise. That suggests Taiyuan.)
Gaofen-5 (01) launch thread; launch on May 8, 2018, 18:28 UTC.
Will Gaofen-5 (02) replace Gaofen-5 (01) in Sun-synchronous orbit, or take up a complementary position in SSO?

From the little information that's available, it looks like this launch didn't happen.

From the little information that's available, it looks like this launch didn't happen.
Reviewing the Gaofen-05 01 launch forum, the confirmation was also late, the launch was expected at 18:20 UTC and was confirmed one hour later, but I think that in this case it is a delay. -

The launch window is now over and there are no launch reports, which would indicate that the launch did not take place. Waiting for a report on the mission or a new NOTAM.
