[amsat-bb] Chinese HF satellite

[Nico Janssen]

No new Chinese amateur satellites have been launched.

There are plans to launch CAS 5A, CAS 5B, CAS 7A and CAS 7C
on a Long March 11 rocket 'soon'. As there was a launch of
such a rocket on September 15 rumors appeared that maybe
these CASs could be on this launch. But it appeared that nine
Jilin Earth imaging satellites were launched instead.

There is no new information available on a possible launch
date for the CASs, not even rumors.

73,
