• The new NOTAM for CZ-2C/2D from Xichang.

• The zone is almost exactly the same as that used by the YG-39 Group 01 launch (1 minute of difference in coordinates for some of the corners), it's also 22 minutes long, it might be a reasonable guess for it to be CZ-2D/YG-39 Group 2, but who knows!
• #2 by mikezang on 12 Sep, 2023 08:13
• This is might be Yaogan-36 06A~C by CZ-2D, because the drop zone is the same as Yaogan-36 05A~C on July 27.

• So, after this one, they will have 9 days to assemble and prepare for the CZ-4C launch (assuming this is not delayed).

  That CZ-4C is from Jiuquan, this launch is from Xichang.
