Thanks Scott!
Could be HONGHU-3. In retrospect, the (in hindsight) overhead pass over my QTH mapped very well to NORAD 100370. Suggest those interested try and confirm if 100370 holds.
We’ve been down this path before. For those who remember Possible New One
There is a precedent: TY‑NN isn’t a per‑mission public name at all — it looks like a manufacturer’s internal sequential bus number (Changsha Tianyi/CTYK is listed as 58555’s manufacturer, so “TY” almost certainly = “Tianyi”). Different TY‑NN numbers can belong to totally unrelated missions with their own separate public names (Honghu‑2 = TY‑30, but TY‑41 = an unrelated 2024 satellite, not a Honghu).
So: TY‑47 could be a later satellite off that same manufacturer’s line — a bus number.
Hopefully we can get some more clarity on this.
Good Hunting All,
