Chinanews, Beijing, Sept 24 – “If the launch of Xinnuo 2 satellite had not failed, Chinese public would have been able to watch TV programs broadcast by this satellite long time ago,” said Ma Ju, director of the Broadcasting Science Research Institute under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).

 

He made the statement in an interview given to China Business News last Friday.

 

Earlier, when attending the 15th China International Radio and TV Information Network Exhibition, vice1 chairman of the Committee of Science and Technology under SARFT Du Baichuan said that Zhongxing 9 satellite might be launched around September or October. However, right now, it is almost the end of September and no officials have made any public announcement at the moment. It is now obvious that the launching schedule might be delayed.

 

Zhang Haitao, another official from SARFT, once disclosed that the launching might take place on November 9, or at a later time, this year.

 

This might reflect Chinese officials' cautiousness resulting from the failure of Xinnuo 2 satellite launch, because the launch of the two satellites, Xinnuo 2 and Zhongxing 9, should not be regarded as a simple launching event. Rather, they reflect China’s satellite technology level in the world.

 

The telecommunication2 satellites launch is regarded as one of the key projects for government efforts to extend radio and TV coverage3 to every village in China. With the launch of these telecommunication satellites, it is hoped that Chinese TV programs can further reach many remote villages previously4 not covered by the telecommunication satellites.

 

There are 378 million households in China. Of them, 140 million are cable TV users and 378 million receive radio or TV programs through wireless5 service.
