Mrjlh Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 China just launched a rocket carrying a satellite. That's all I know. So far a perfect launch. What's in it I don't know yet. Live coverage on Asia-Sat 3S This is part of China's GPS satellite system which is to rival USA. It will become active in 2008 for all Asian countries to use. It was developed supposedly without any outside assistance but I suspect we will find others help them. I actually think this is a good thing because it will help Asian countries collectively. I think it's in the right direction. The rocket is modeled after the a French Ariean (sp) and might have been one. Good launch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just discovered it is China's FIRST lunar probe and not part of the GPS system as I originally thought. Can't speak Chinese so what do I know! http://edition.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/10/...e.ap/index.html Edited October 24, 2007 by Mrjlh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
