ANS-333 shows XW-1 expected launch date is middle December. I heard XW-1 will launch with HJ-1C by CZ-C2 launcher. If this is true, NASA Space Calender http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/calendar/calendar.html shows its launch date is March 2010.

The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination page for XW-1 says December 20. http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru/formal_detail.asp?serial=108

but dates of launches always seem to change. I think we won't be certain of the launch date until it's actually in orbit.
