TJS-15 · Analysis method test

Experimental comparison of orbital observations and published records.

NORAD 63157 / COSPAR 2025-045A · Satellite profile →

What is established

CNSA announced the launch at 01:17 Beijing time on 10 March 2025 (9 March 17:17 UTC), describing multi-band, high-rate satellite communications technology verification. An ITU filing or slot-preservation mission requires additional supporting records. CNSA ↗

Orbit-to-filing comparison

Premium and above can compare the stored TLE observations with CHN ITU records. The source database is available from Standard.

Evidence needed to test slot preservation

01 · Assignment & spacecraft

Identify the notice, frequency groups, bands and the spacecraft capable of transmitting or receiving those assignments. Establishing the link requires assignment-specific evidence.

02 · Time at position & BIU

RR 11.44B requires the capable GSO station to be deployed and maintained at the notified position for a continuous 90-day period. Compare the dates with BIU/BBIU confirmation and account for gaps.

03 · Relocation declaration

Use the Res.40 record of earlier network and position to test whether the observed transfer is temporally consistent. A declared network-to-network link still needs a physical satellite identification.

Alternative explanations to retain: communications testing, routine relocation, in-orbit servicing or proximity operations. These are analytical alternatives for TJS-15. Additional evidence is needed to distinguish them.
