BeiDou: China launches final satellite in challenge to GPS
4.完整新聞內文:
Tuesday's launch will allow China to no longer rely on the US
government-owned Global Positioning System (GPS).
The $10bn (￡8bn) network is made up of 35 satellites and provides global
navigation coverage.
It comes as tensions between Beijing and Washington are increasing over the
coronavirus, trade and Hong Kong.
The launch had been scheduled for last week but was delayed after technical
problems were found with the rocket in pre-launch tests.
The third version of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) offers an
alternative to Russia's GLONASS and the European Galileo systems, as well as
America's GPS.
Future plans promise to support a more accessible and integrated system
scheduled to come online by 2035 with BDS at its core.

The first version of BeiDou, meaning "Big Dipper," was decommissioned in 2012.
China's space programme has developed rapidly over the last 20 years as
Beijing has provided significant funding to develop the country's own
high-tech systems.
In 2003, China became only the third country to launch its own crewed space
mission. Since then it has built an experimental space station and sent two
rovers to the moon.
The moves are seen as preparation for a permanent space station, a potential
crewed flight to the moon, and a possible first attempt to send an orbiter
and rover to Mars.
That would make China a serious contender to America in space exploration.
