2003-051A
A new generation FSW/JB satellite was launched by a CZ-2D with a stretched second stage in late 2003, shortly after the first piloted Shenzhou flight. It was reportedly designated Jianbing-4.
I speculate a slightly larger mass of 3200 kg for the JB-4, with a recoverable section mass of 1200 kg. Chen Lan reports the mass as 3800 kg and the launch vehicle as CZ-2D2 (an uprated second lot of CZ-2D rockets).
