China has launched its fourth navigation satellite into orbit yesterday according to Chinese news agency Xinhua. It is the first satellite of Beidou class to be launched in nearly four years.
The satellite will serve a range of navigation
and communications functions including navigation, mapping, global
positioning, and telecommunications.
The latest launch demonstrates an increasing level of sophistication in
China's aerospace technological capability, with both the rocket and
satellite developed by divisions of the China Aerospace Science and
Technology Corporation.
Two weeks ago China drew widespread condemnation from developed
countries for launching an anti-satellite missile which subsequently
destroyed one of its redundant weather satellites orbiting about 800km
above the earth. Previously, only the US and Russia had demonstrated
technology capable of destroying a satellite from an earth launched
missile.
A number of countries including the US, UK and Japan condemned the
action saying that it could lead to an arms race in space and created
unnecessary space debris. China itself has publicly maintained that it
opposes the militarization of space.
