[by78]

China launched Shiyan-16A, Shiyan-16B and Shiyan-17 trio satellites by CZ-6 rocket from Taiyuan Satellites Launch Center in 07:50 UTC+8, Sept 27, 2022.

This group of satellites is mainly used for land survey, metropolitan planning, disaster prevention and mitigation, etc.

It's the 10th CZ-6 series launch and the 440th CZ series launch, also the second launch within 12 hours.

High-resolution images.

Some differences from Long Lehao's presentation in April 2022.
TW-3 was 2028, now about 2030
TW-4 Jupiter was 2034, now about 2030

What's the Russian heavy, Yenisei? I thought Roscosmos is still a ways off with its development and won't be launching until the rear end of 2030s?

The slide shows "Ангара" in Cyrillic which is Angara. But there is no variant of Angara being on the same class as CZ-9, active or proposed.

I think we should not be too serious of the slide. These Angaras are just placeholders of any heavy lift Russian rockets for Russian payloads.
