Description | A follow on mission from CAS-9 and also known as Hope-4 (XW-4). Carrying a V/U Mode Linear Transponder, a UHF - CW Telemetry Beacon, a UHF - AX.25 4.8k/9.6kbps GMSK Telemetry downlink and a space camera.

Notes | Assuming Aomen Kepu-1 (Macau Student Science Satellite No. 1) is the same satellite as CAS-10/XW-4 because only 1 object was deployed from Tianzhou and it could be one of the payloads instead. Photos also match unless the CAS-10/XW-4 photo is wrong. However, this assumption can be wrong and that spacecraft may have not been launched yet or may have not been deployed or object is not tracked. |
