    I wonder if this might not mark the debut of the somewhat enigmatic CZ-11 or the LM-MLV that showed up on a couple of slides in a UNCOPUOS presentation last February. (It's not clear to me that the LM-MLV isn't the same as the CZ-11.)

    The satellite was carried by a small launch vehicle bearing the same name as the vessel Kuaizhou.
