China successfully launched into space the final satellite of its Beidou navigation system on Tuesday. It’s Beijing’s answer to the US government-owned GPS and will help the country reduce its reliance on American technology.
The satellite launch took place shortly before 10AM local time from the Xichang Satellite Center in the country’s southwestern Sichuan province, from where it was broadcasted live. It was deemed a success about 20 minutes after launch.
