The NOTAM for this luanch about ~06:40 UTC.
The NOTAM active time is just 1 minute shorter than back on flight 1 (08:22 - 10:44 UTC) - if this one follows the same pattern I think they are aiming at a 06:00 UTC T-0. -

An earlier post by Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center which has since been deleted mentioned that the 2nd stage umbilicals of Zhuque-2 Y2 failed to disconnect during a launch rehearsal. But it seems the problem has been solved and LANDSPACE is very confident of a successful launch

朱雀二号”发射成功，成为世界首款入轨的液氧甲烷液体火箭Quote
Suzaku-2 was successfully launched and became the world's first liquid oxygen methane liquid rocket to enter orbit
Blue Arrow Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. now announces that the flight test mission of the Zhuque-2 Yao-2 launch vehicle was a complete success, becoming the world's first liquid oxygen-methane liquid rocket to enter orbit.
The Suzaku-2 carrier rocket is a liquid oxygen methane rocket. It is a new type of dual cryogenic liquid fuel carrier rocket independently developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace.
According to official news from Blue Arrow, the Suzaku-2 Yao-2 launch vehicle arrived at the Jiuquan Rocket Launch Site on May 12. At the same time, the company announced in early June that it would start the final assembly of the Suzaku-2 Yao-3 rocket.
This launch mission will verify the independent development capability of the entire system of the Suzaku-2 liquid launch vehicle and challenge the world's first liquid oxygen methane rocket into orbit. It is a milestone.
The Suzaku-2 Yao-2 carrier rocket is a two-stage cryogenic liquid carrier rocket with a body diameter of 3.35 meters, a total rocket length of 49.5 meters, a take-off mass of 219 tons, and a take-off thrust of 268 tons. It is China's first and currently largest liquid oxygen methane launch vehicle. .
The first stage of the rocket uses four "Tianque" 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engines connected in parallel; the second-stage engine of the rocket uses a single "Tianque" 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engine and "Tianque" 10-ton swimming liquid oxygen methane engine. The configuration of the main machine is the same as that of the single engine of the first stage. The separation between the rocket stages adopts the cold separation method, and the separation of the fairing adopts the rotary throwing separation method.
