[amsat-bb] XW-2 identifications

[Nico Janssen]

All,

Last update to include DCBB. All 9 amateur radio satellites from the 
CZ-6 launch
are now identified.

Using detailed doppler measurements I find the following identifications:

XW-2A is object 40903, 2015-049E, (other IDs: XiWang 2A, Hope 2A, CAS-3A).
XW-2B is object 40911, 2015-049N, (other IDs: XiWang 2B, Hope 2B, CAS-3B).
XW-2C is object 40906, 2015-049H, (other IDs: XiWang 2C, Hope 2C, CAS-3C).
XW-2D is object 40907, 2015-049J, (other IDs: XiWang 2D, Hope 2D, CAS-3D).
XW-2E is object 40909, 2015-049L, (other IDs: XiWang 2E, Hope 2E, CAS-3E).
XW-2F is object 40910, 2015-049M, (other IDs: XiWang 2F, Hope 2F, CAS-3F).
DCBB is object 40912, 2015-049P, (other ID: CAS-3G).
LilacSat 2 is object 40908, 2015-049K, (other ID: CAS-3H).
NUDT-PhoneSat is object 40900, 2015-049B, (other ID: CAS-3I).

The Long March 6 (CZ-6) third stage is now object 40913, 2015-049Q.

DCBB was ejected from its mother-satellite Xinjishu Yanzheng 2 on 
September 20.
Some other subsatellites will be ejected from their mother-satellites 
from the CZ-6
launch on October 20 or 21.

73,
