China just put a new navigation satellite in orbit. This the first one of ten scheduled to be put in space before the end of the year. Called Compass-G2, the satellite is part of a plan to free China from American dependence when it comes to global positioning. China’s navigation satellites are part of the Beidou project which has been underway for a quite a while now.With thanks to Navigadget.com
