Hi, I wonder if anybody has seen or heard from the latest Chinese low-orbit reconnaissance satellite Yaogan Weixing 5 (2008-064A/33456) launched 15 Dec 2008. My understanding is that this one is a relatively large optical reconnaissance bird which will replace the 2000-2004 family of Ziyuan-2/Jianbing-3 satellites (26481, 27550 and 28470). It'd be interesting to see if the four look alike or not.
