Orbital info from Jonathan McDowell: https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3mrz4ronk422a

TJS 27A and 27B, launched on Jul 30, are being tracked by Space Force in an 1155 km, 63.4 deg orbit characteristic of time-delay-of-arrival electronic intelligence (NOSS type) satellites. China's earlier missions in this orbit were given a Yaogan rather than TJS cover name.

And a correction: https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3ms5y3a3a6s2k

Correction: TJS 27A and 27B orbit inclination is 64.8 deg not 63.4 deg. Doesn't change the conclusion about mission.
