China muscles into the space race

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The space race is getting more crowded. A private company in China plans to become the country's first non-government commercial enterprise to launch a satellite into orbit later this year. The company is called Landspace, and it's taking advantage of technology developed by the mobile phone industry. The 91福利社's Russell Padmore starts with a little bit of space history.
