Following on from Igor's original posting, do we know whether the Qianshao-1 designator has been applied to the Shijian-11 series or whether that is a western assumption based upon the similarity of the orbits used for Shiyan Weixing 2 and the Shijian-11 series?
Have you managed to find any more alternative names for Chinese satellites, Igor? I would expect that all of the Shiyan Weixing satellites would have them: maybe the Shijian satellites as well.
