CALT called the satellite Beidou-2 IGSO-4 (Beidou er hao IGSO-4 weixing). The Xinhua news agency mostly refers to it as 9th Beidou Navigation Satellite (di jiu ke Beidou daohang weixing) although it does also describe it as 'Beidou daohang xitong (Compass Navigation System) zu wang (networking) de di si ke (4th) qingxidei (inclined) qiu (geo) tongbu (synchronous) guidao (orbit) weixing (satellite)'. I will use the 'Beidou daohang weixing 9' or 'Beidou DW9' for short, as a reasonable English-alphabet rendering of the name used by Xinhua.
