Two launches? Or some NOTAM  for one mission?

[russianhalo117]

Two launches? Or some NOTAM  for one mission?

I read it as one or more launches with a two sets of windows.

[mikezang]

Is it possible from Xichang? There was one time like this route in past.

[Josh_from_Canada]

Is it possible from Xichang? There was one time like this route in past.

The NOTAM in the Indian ocean for the Gaofen-14 launch was in a different part of the Indian Ocean then this one.

[Liss]

Is it possible from Xichang? There was one time like this route in past.

This is definitely from Jiuquan. The area is very like the one announced for December 10, 2021.

NOTAMed area is indeed similar to the one for CZ-4B/SJ-6-5A/5B (Dec 10, 2021)

If something was going to launch from Jiuquan today, it should have lifoff a few minutes ago.

[zubenelgenubi: Revised estimated launch time is a few minutes later; should be lifting off any time now?]

[mikezang]

This might be CZ-8A or CZ-8R:)

The weight of the 01-group A satellite of Land Exploration-1 is about 3.2 tons, and the total area of ​​the SAR antenna exceeds 33 square meters. It is currently the largest SAR satellite in orbit in China. The satellite operates in a quasi-sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 607 kilometers, and is equipped with an advanced L-band multi-polarization and multi-channel SAR payload. It has all-day, all-weather, and multi-mode Earth observation capabilities. The satellite is mainly used for effective monitoring of geological environment, landslides and earthquake disasters.

This might be last launch before Chinese Lunar New Year (February 1).
