8 of the 20 Chinese CZ-6 payloads now cataloged in 515 x 540 km orbits
10 are small subsatellites, some probably not yet ejected from their motherships. Will take a while.
Tsinghua University (Beijing)'s Naxing-2 (20 kg) which itself ejects two Zijing-1,2 picosats about 0.2 kg each
Zhejiang University's ZDPS-2A, 2B satellites, 12 kg, with some experiments in MEMS technology and structure deployment
The National University of Defense Technology in Changsha (Guofang Keji Daxue) with 20 kg Luliang-1, 1 kg PhoneSat and four 0.1 kg Xingchen
The 11 kg LilacSat-2 satellite from Harbin Inst of Technology in the far northeast Heilongjiang province
