News: China Launch Beidou GPS Rival System

China has started operating and offering navigational data from its own satellite navigation system for the first time.

The new system, named Beidou, is part of China's plans to create a rival to the US run Global Positioning System (GPS). So far there are 10 Beidou satellites in operation, but a further 25 satellites are in the pipeline to launch.

A total of six more satellites are planned to launch in 2012, which will allow for satellite coverage over most of Asia, with a full network planned to be 35 satellites strong by 2020.
