Chilean Geodetic Observatory Faces Post-Quake Difficulties
March 8th, 2010 admin
The following message distributed by the International GNSS Service (IGS) is a first-hand account from Hayo Hase, who heads the Geodetic Observatory TIGO at Concepción, Chile, in the aftermath of the February 27 earthquake. The devastating magnitude 8.8 earthquake is one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. The Geodetic Observatory TIGO has been operating since 2002, but has faced funding difficulties.

Jan. 17 (China Military News cited from Xinhua) — China took one step forward in its ambition to build an independent global navigation network capable of rivaling foreign congeneric systems with the successful launch of a new orbiter into space early Sunday morning. Boosted by a Long-March-3III carrier rocket into a geostationary orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, it was the third orbiter China has launched for the network, also known as Beidou, or COMPASS system. It will join another two already in orbits to form a network which will eventually have a total of 35 satellites, capable of providing global navigation service to users around the world around 2020..... www.china-defense-mashup.com (launch PIC) China wants to become the next big player in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. Zhang Xiaojin, director of the astronautics department at the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, recently confirmed that China will complete its new Beidou 2 or "Compass" GNSS consisting of 30 more satellites before 2015, with 10 or more new Compass satellites scheduled for launch over the next two years.....
