SpaceEyeNews keep’s you posted about a new satellite launched by China named Gaofen-11. | July 21, 2024.
Usually, the majority of satellites can be tracked on n2yo.com but for some reason this satellite only has a news article about this launch. No tracking or recent launch date history. I also don’t think that it’s just the site because there is no tracking information anywhere else so maybe time will reveal the path of this satellite until then No tracking for this satellite. Some articles are referencing this satellite as a spy satellite as well. China launches new Gaofen-11 high resolution spy satellite – SpaceNews

Here is a list of launches for July 2024 on n2yo.com :

This link will show you that n2yo acknowledges the new satellite but has no tracking information: China launches new Gaofen-11 high resolution spy satellite (n2yo.com)
Last but not least, the Gaofen-11 has the same name for four other satellites so if China is trying to create confusion with naming five satellites with the same name with the number being the only distinction, then something might be going on with this recent launch. Being able to spot someone without them being able to spot you has always been a desire… Could this be the case for Gaofen-11(5). Only time will tell.
