The launch of nine Chinese satellites carrying Amateur Radio payloads was postponed by 24 hours due to technical reasons.

China Amateur Satellite Group CAMSAT CEO Alan Kung, BA1DU, told ARRL that the satellites will head into space today, September 19, at 2300 UTC and separate from the rocket 15:14 after launch.

Four of the microsatellites and two of the CubeSats included in the launch have been designated as XW-2A through XW-2F. The other three satellites — a CubeSat, a nanosatellite, and a picosatellite — carry the designations CAS-3G through CAS-3I, respectively.
