China has launched the world’s first “self-driving” satellites that can maintain or change their flight course without any help from the ground, according to their developer.
The two mapping satellites – Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and Gaojing-2 04 – blasted off on a Long March-2C carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China at 7.39am on Monday before entering their preset orbits.
