Yaogan-37 & Shiyan-22A/B - CZ-2D - Jiuquan - January 13, 2023 (07:00 UTC) by Liss on 05 Jan, 2023 21:45

According to https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=57867.msg2446654#msg2446654 we should expect something really interesting from Jiuquan. The NOTAMed areas looks like CZ-2F for an Eastern launch. The date and time do not match the China Space Station orbit.

I don’t think it’s the same payload (or even rocket) as the two “Chinese spaceplane” launches because the zones don’t match (over a degree off for both, plus for both CZ-2F launches there were 3 closed zones and not 2 as with this one; while the zones are almost exact copies for flight 1 and 2). It’s more likely a CZ-2C/D launch I think?

I retract my statement - the zones looks just too similar, although it's at an azimuth closer to 90 degrees and slightly closer downrange distance than the previous "spaceplane" launch. Maybe, who knows, this is yet another one!?
(yellow - January 13 launch; red - CZ-2F launch on August 4 last year; orange - closure zone for Shenzhou 15 launch)

I guess launch time might be around ~07:10 UTC.

Shiyan-22 A & B are two small satellites built by CASC and CAS respectively. This also means the previous press releases of Long March 7A Y4 launch including Shiyan-22 A & B were erroneous

Skykraft satellite had a near miss with Yaogan 37.
"Analysis conducted after the event by the company LeoLabs shows both satellites were predicted to have an "miss" distance of just 100 metres 24 hours before the anticipated "conjunction".
According to the data, the Yaogan 37 satellite manoeuvred 16 hours prior to the conjunction, increasing the miss distance to 978 metres at the closest approach."
