Mission details:

A final cubesat reported to have been deployed on this mission is a mystery. Some reports suggested it was Hongyan-1, a China Academy of Space Technology LEO communications platform, but this has not been confirmed.
On end Nov 2018, there is still no eighth payload cataloged from the Oct 29 CZ-2C launch. (Press reports said there were eight, but only identified seven by name).
