3 new satellite systems expected by 2020
Print Edition
CHINA aims to finish building three satellite systems — for remote sensing, communications and navigation — before 2020, a national plan showed yesterday.
The systems should be able to provide continuous and stable service, according to the plan for the development of civil space infrastructure posted on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission.
In the next decade, China will build space infrastructure featuring cutting-edge technology, independent development and control, and reasonable distribution and global coverage, it said.
The three systems should meet demands for different industries and regions to support China’s modernization drive, ensure national security and improve people’s lives, it said.
The communications satellite system will be used for broadband Internet, mobile telecommunications and live television broadcasts.
China will also improve the service capabilities of its Beidou Navigation Satellite System, a domestic alternative to the United States-operated GPS, the document said.
