China launches another 2 navigation system satellites

XICHANG, Sichuan, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- China successfully launched another two satellites into space for its indigenous global navigation and positioning network at 3:10 a.m. Beijing time on Wednesday.

They were the 14th and 15th satellites for the Beidou, or Compass, system. The satellites, launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province, were boosted by a Long March-3B carrier rocket.

Since it started to provide services on a trial basis on Dec. 27, 2011, the Beidou system has been stable and its services have been increased and improved, said a spokesman for the China Satellite Navigation Office.

The system has been used in transportation, weather forecasting, marine fisheries, forestry, telecommunications, hydrological monitoring and mapping, according to the spokesman.

China started to build up its own satellite navigation system to break its dependence on the U.S. Global Positioning System in 2000.

Between October 2000 and May 2003, the country set up a regional satellite navigation system after launching three Beidou geostationary satellites.

Beidou-1 can not meet growing demand, so China decided to set up a more functional Beidou-2 regional and global navigation system, Qi Faren, former chief designer for Shenzhou spaceships, said in an interview in 2011.

From April 2007 to April this year, China launched another 13 orbiters to form its Beidou-2 system, which will eventually consist of 35 satellites.

Three Beidou satellites were sent into space early this year. The 11th satellite was boosted by a Long March-3C carrier rocket on Feb. 25, while the 12th and 13th were sent by a Long March-3B carrier on April 30.

The network will provide satellite navigation, time and short message services for Asia-Pacific regions within 2012 and global services by 2020.

bcs you'd better launch at the lauch window,
Launch window - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Launch window is a term used in spaceflight to describe a time period in which a particular launch vehicle (rocket, Space Shuttle, etc.) must be launched. If the rocket does not launch within the "window", it has to wait for the next window.

A better disaster control in the cover of night.

Success comes from learning your mistakes and bounce back. Failure comes from never tried but maker fun of other's failures on their path to success to cover up their own shame. That would be the South Korean space program.

It is obvious that the grace of mother success never touched him.

Long March 4C Launches YAOGAN-8 and XI WANG 1

December 15, 2009 - Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
China has sent two satellites into space. They were launched from the Tai-yuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province. They are the remote-sensing satellite "Yaogan VIII" and science researching mini-satellite, "Hope One." The two were put into orbit by a Long March 4C carrier rocket.
The 4C carrier is the largest of the Long March Rocket Family. At a height of nearly 50 meters, it also has the largest carrying capacity. That's why it was given the mission of carrying a second passenger.
Wong Weiliang, CZ4C Chief Commander, said, "After the main satellite separates with the rocket the rocket will adjust its pose for 40 seconds, then release the second satellite. Only when both reach their destinations safely, is the rocket's mission completed."

SHIJIAN-12 Launches atop Long March 2D rocket

June 15, 2010 - Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
China successfully shot a scientific research satellite into orbit on a Long March rocket Monday, marking the country's fourth space launch of the year.
The satellite lifted off on a Long March 2D rocket at 0139 GMT Tuesday (9:39 p.m. Monday) from the Jiuquan space center near the border of northern China's Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.
Launch occurred at 9:39 a.m. in China.
The 13-story rocket, powered by two hydrazine-fueled stages, delivered the Shijian 12 to an orbit over Earth's poles.
Tracking data showed the satellite was in an orbit with a low point of 357 miles, a high point of 371 miles and an inclination of 97.7 degrees.
Xinhua reported the spacecraft will be conducting a variety of experiments, inlcuding "space environment probe, measurement and communications."
The satellite was developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, according to Xinhua.
China has previously launched Shijian satellites to test new technologies, carry out space experiments, measure the radiation environment in orbit and conduct other scientific research.
Shijian means "practice" in Chinese.
Monday's launch was the 12th flight of the Long March 2D rocket since 1992 and the 27th space launch to reach orbit worldwide this year.

Tian-Hui-1 Launches atop CZ-2D from Jiuquan

August 24, 2010 - Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
A Chinese mapping satellite is circling Earth after launching on a Long March rocket Tuesday, according to official media reports.
The Tianhui 1 satellite was released in a circular orbit more than 300 miles above Earth following liftoff aboard a Long March 2D booster at 0710 GMT (3:10 a.m. EDT).
The 13-story rocket took off from the Jiuquan launching base near the border of northern China's Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.
Liftoff occurred at 3:10 p.m. Chinese time.
The two-stage launch vehicle deployed Tianhui 1 on a trajectory over Earth's poles with an inclination of approximately 97 degrees.
Authorities will use Tianhui 1 for scientific research, mapping and land resource surveys to help promote economic development, according to a statement on the Chinese Ministry of Defense website.
The satellite was developed by a company under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., Xinhua reported.
Tuesday's flight was the seventh Chinese space launch of the year and the 40th rocket to reach orbit worldwide in 2010. It was the 13th mission for a Long March 2D rocket since 1992.

Hooray, korean is banned. Serve him right for posting racist post.

Posting an almost 20 years old footage of chinese rocket failure does not derail chinese rocket success. You see he dont post the most 100 recent launch of chinese rocket. To him, one chinese failure will condemm chinese as failure forever. But he will ignore the 100 success of chinese.

Inferiority complex.

And here's an example of Korean "success" nowadays.
