Beijing's new Chang Zheng CZ-11 was launched earlier today from Jiuquan. It carried three satellites believed to have amateur payloads: Tianwang-1A (TW-1A / SECM); Tianwang-1B (TW-1B / NJUST-2); Tianwang-1C (TC-1C / NJFA-1).

Does anyone know the frequencies ?

The IARU Satellite Frequency Coordination site notes they were expected to have VHF and UHF downlinks, see

It is understood Beijing plans another launch of an amateur radio payload on October 5
