China launches its 1st or we can say world's 1st Quantum communication satellite into the orbit. A rocket that shot skyward from the Gobi Desert early Tuesday is
expected to propel China to the forefront of one of science’s most
challenging fields.
State media said China sent the world’s first quantum-communications
satellite into orbit from a launch center in Inner Mongolia about 1:40
a.m. Tuesday. Five years in the making, the project is being closely
watched in global scientific and security circles.
