The "experimental core module" could be the equivalent of the "Tiangong 3", Salyut 6/7 class station which has been discussed previously. Tiangong 2 will only have one docking port - I am sure, like Tiangong 1 - so Taingong 3 would be the first station to have docking ports at each end of the longitudinal axis.

Not sure if my translation is correct but the last sentence of this source (http://china.cnr.cn/NewsFeeds/20150304/t20150304_517882405.shtml) says that Jilin-1 will be launched together with 4 more satellites.
In September there will be a launch of three satellite on a mission designated TW-1. The mission will have experiments in the field of telecommunications, ocean surveillance and Earth observation. This mission will use the Gamalink technology used by the Tekever Portuguese company that previously worked with ESA on the Proba-3 mission.Any idea of what mission this is?Missão espacial chinesa leva tecnologia portuguesa a bordo (in Portuguese)Edit: Some information can be found in this paper: TW-1 is a cubesat networkorking demonstration mission consisting of a 3U cubesat and two 2U cubesats.

There is some newer conflicting information that CZ-11 maiden flight might lift similar payloads as that of CZ-6 maiden flight. Both maiden launches are from TSLC. Im not sure that TSLC would be correct launch site since we don't yet know planned inclination.
