An article appearing in Digitaljournal.com yesterday about CFOSAT.
http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/world/first-joint-france-china-satellite-to-study-oceans/article/505587
"France and China's space agencies unveiled their first joint satellite in Beijing Friday, which will be used to improve forecasting of ocean storms and cyclones.
The satellite, named CFOSAT (China-France Oceanography Satellite), is due to be launched next year by China and will primarily be used to study wind and ocean wave patterns." (para 1 and 2)
The satellite will be placed into Earth's orbit in the second half of 2018 by a rocket from China's "Long March" programme. The project is scheduled to last three years." (last paragraph)
First Sino-French satellite joint venture. Has France and China collaborated in other spaceflight related joint venture before?

Beijing, March 31 /Xinhua / -- developed by China and France Oceanographic satellite for ocean observations /China-France Oceanography Satellite, CFOSAT/ will be launched in September this year, the Chinese missile technology research Institute reported /CALT/.
CFOSAT will be launched into space on Board of the carrier rocket "Changzheng-2C" /lot a/, developed by CALT.
It is the first satellite jointly developed by China and France. He will observe the wind and waves on the surface of the ocean, and the data transmitted to them will be used by scientists from the two countries.
The satellite will contribute to the further development of technological cooperation between China and France. According to CALT, it is also called upon to contribute to the implementation of the Paris climate agreement.

If I understand correctly, Tiange-1 is a(gravitational wave) payload on the Zhaojin-1 sat.

If I understand correctly, Tiange-1 is a (gravitational wave) payload on the Zhaojin-1 sat.
Does Tiange-1 eventually separate from Zhaojin-1? If not, then it shouldn't be listed as a separate payload in Satori's list.
Satori, you previously gave TY-1 03 as another name for Zhaojin-1. Perhaps you can add that name to your list.
