China launched 15 satellites in 2010, for the first time surpassed the United States
Core Tip: 23 U.S. Wireless News article said, with a Compass latest satellite launch from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, China, the number of satellite launches a year reached a record of 15, making it the first time to catch up with the United States, This is a milestone in the development of space capabilities. But Western experts said the satellite, the Chinese still need to improve the quality of satellite, it was still a serious lack of high-resolution military satellites.

LONDON Dec. 26 reported that 23 U.S. Wireless News article said, with a Compass latest satellite launch from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, China, the number of satellite launches a year reached a record of 15, making it the first time catch up with the United States, this is a milestone in the development of space capabilities. But Western experts said the satellite, the Chinese still need to improve the quality of satellite, it was still a serious lack of high-resolution military satellites.
The article said that the surface, this is just an ordinary satellite launch, and every week all over the world aerospace base in the satellite launch took place is no different. But in fact the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on 18 daily, "Long March III A" carrier rocket, will launch a navigation satellite in China, then another profound meaning - which marks the number of satellites launched in China reached a record 15, also marked the end of the Cold War has been launched in other countries, the amount of satellite first time to catch up with the United States.
It seems in some observers, the rapid development of China's space program is very reasonable. China has the world nearly 20% of the population, from some extent, it is also the world's second largest economy, so China will be an unprecedented scale, advanced space-faring nations to join the ranks of the club, but also logical thing. However, many of the more cautious (or is that alarmist) Chinese observers questioned the intent of Beijing, China to dominate space and warned of potentially serious consequences.
However, the U.S. Space Foundation, world security expert Brian Enver Dayton (Brian Weeden) is expressed in an interview a more cautious view: Indeed, China catching up fast, but want of space, and the United States into equal strength potential, Beijing is still a long way to go.
Victoria Burton's argument boils down to quality and quantity of the Competition: "For purely technical basis, I think that China lags behind the current space-faring nations, such as the United States, Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan. This is largely because China's overall lack of advanced technology, but not limited to the field of space. but the basis of spatial ability, I think China is only behind the United States and Russia. "In other words, with the number and variety of Chinese make up less than the quality of its satellites.
For example, Beijing can not be with the Canadian satellite RADARSAT-2 high-quality comparable to the radar imaging satellite. However, Victoria Gordon continued, "there is no manned space program in Canada or the local space launch capability," while the Chinese there. Beijing is "Building a constellation of satellites in orbit, to provide extensive capacity, and in this point, it will likely be beyond the Russian Federation (Russia's satellite constellation is reduced), becoming the country after the United States."
However, even in satellite launch satellites in China and the United States the number of flat, taking into account the huge population of Beijing is facing the pressure of its space capabilities in order to catch up with the United States still need to take several decades - or even never be accomplished.China launched 15 satellites in 2010, after the Beijing military and civilian space assets total about 67 satellites, high-resolution military satellites is still inadequate. Russia still maintains 99 satellite, but its not reliable rocket system, coupled with the wavering financial problems make it difficult to maintain this number.
In contrast, the United States known to have 441 satellites, including the unique spacecraft, such as "Advanced Orion" radio detector (a wingspan of 300 feet, according to reports, is the world's largest satellite), in addition to the retiring space shuttle and its replacement X-37B.
China's aerospace development reflects its ground, air and maritime rapid military modernization - but also some concerns. After decades of hibernation, China finally began to realize their full potential. This means a huge leap in technology and expertise. But Beijing is still lagging behind other world powers, but also a huge gap, China still has a long way to go.
