Shenzhou's ID's are 05040A / 28879. Its upper stage is 05040B / 28880.

The 05040C and D objects are small prices of debris, which will decay from
orbit within a day or two. They are covers from the upper stage's separation
motors, fired at orbital insertion to put some distance between the stage
and the spacecraft. There are four covers, but USSTRATCOM seldom tracks all
four.
