The Beidou program has so far launched 20 satellites, and it intends to increase the number to 35 by 2020 to be able to provide full service.
China has launched a plan to launch navigation satellites that will compete with GPS in 2020. The Xinhua news website reports from the CEO of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Lei Fanpei.
The Beidou program has so far launched 20 satellites, and it intends to increase the number to 35 by 2020 to be able to provide full service.
The completion of the system will serve as an incubator for a chain of industries that will be built around these satellites, and will bring benefits in diverse fields, including mapping, communication and disaster recovery," Lee said.
With the completion of the system, China will become the third country operating in the field of navigation satellites after the USA and Russia, he said (not accurate, the Europeans have the Galileo program, AB). Russia developed the GLONASS project as an answer to the American GPS system back in 1993. The Glons network currently includes 29 satellites, 24 of which are already functioning, which enables real-time location detection and high bandwidth for objects on land, at sea and in the air at any point on Earth.

A book was published in Hebrew translation called: But the world will look when China rules it and the reference is to 2050. On Amazon the book costs half the price in hard cover and less than that in soft cover.
The book shakes the heads of the Sips and it has a review on Wikipedia and other sites and deserves a review on the site of the scientist if Avi Blizovsky also thinks so.
According to the book based on cultural and economic research, China will not become a democracy but will apply racial principles that existed in the imperial days and are similar to the principles of the Japanese in World War II. According to the book, Western culture will cease to dominate because it is not unified, and because it does not currently produce a qualitative advantage. If I may say because she is dealing with nonsense. See an article today in YNET, about a demonstration in favor of sex positions in London and the most common name there is Muhammad. There is no guarantee that the book will exist, but the book was received with enthusiasm, including research, wherever it was published. In Israel they are not ready to discount it and its price is very expensive. The book is pretentious that along the way the power of Islam will rise in Europe and the US as a cohesive force and history may move on a completely different course. Incidentally, Islam also has a religious race theory.
And what is the next step. Satellite navigation systems for India, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina. It's a shame there is no global cooperation. For example, a research center on the moon, missions to Mars, or asteroid research.
