What is the connection between pulsar-based navigation and high-bandwidth communication? Both the gbtimes article referenced in the first post and the NASA SEXTANT description assert it exists:
From gbtimes:
using the highly regular emissions from pulsars [...] could dramatically cut the reliance of craft in deep space on the huge ground-based communications networks and from NASA:
X-ray based technologies capable of providing accurate navigation and high bandwidth communications https://gameon.nasa.gov/projects/deep-space-x-ray-navigation-and-communication/

Still no NOTAM's for this launch, but sources say it will go on the 11th.
In the mean time, trying to identify the satellites on board the CZ-11 (Y2)... We know that XPNAV-1 and Xiaoxiang-1 will be on this launch. Also, Chinaspaceflight.com is reporting that the three Lishui-1 sats will also be launched on this mission.
We know that there will be seven sats on CZ-11, so we have five of them. Rumors point to a satellite named Kexing-1 (?).
Any idea about the satellites missing here?
