>I had been behind on Chinese launches and here's a really weird one about to occur in the next 30 minutes! There were rumors of a LM-3B launch from Xichang today & when drop zones appeared they stunned me. This launch on October 26 ~03:50 UTC is pointing towards polar SSO (!!!)
>While Xichang can handle polar orbit launches (as it did twice w/ LM-2C in 2004), it's poorly located & few SSO satellites needs the LM-3B. Only once before, on 6 December 2020, did it do so w/ Gaofen 14. So what on Earth is on top this time???
