" While the "NOSS trio" name was originally applied exclusively to trios of US intelligence satellites, it's also now applied to their US successors, which are pairs instead of trios, and also to similar groupings from other countries including especially various Chinese "NOSS trios" which have been launched recently."

Search for "Yaogan" satellites that have A, B, and C components. There's a pass by one set of three over southern New England tonight (in less then an hour).

Also, mostly off-topic, there is a small lunar satellite scheduled for launch today within a few minutes of 11:27pm EDT from Wallops Island, Virginia (on the Atlantic coast of the Delmarva Peninsula right near the border with Delaware), and the launch should be visible from nearby areas and even near the coast in southern New England low in the southern sky (spaceflightnow.com has a map and live coverage of the launch preparations).
