By the way, I wonder why some people still continue to use the old outdated name 'DSLWP' for this satellite. The only real official name is 'LongJiang 2'.
Hi Nico,
DSLWP-B is the name currently used by Wei Mingchuan BG2BHC and all the information from Harbin Institute of Technology. I guess that this is the development name for the satellite, as it refers the the interferometry scientific payload.
The LongJiang name appeared only recently (shortly before launch I think), and I get the impression that this name was given for marketing reasons (but I might be wrong). In the same way, the Chang'e 4 relay was named Queqiao.
So personally I'm sticking with DSLWP-B, as Wei does.
