Hi Nico,

DSLWP-B is the name currently used by Wei Mingchuan BG2BHC and all the
information from Harbin Institute of Technology. I guess that this is
the development name for the satellite, as it refers the the
interferometry scientific payload.

The LongJiang name appeared only recently (shortly before launch I
think), and I get the impression that this name was given for marketing
reasons (but I might be wrong). In the same way, the Chang'e 4 relay was
named Queqiao.

So personally I'm sticking with DSLWP-B, as Wei does.

73,

Dani.
