　　6月12日晚上11:30，中国发射了一颗维持全球导航定位系统的人造卫星。

　　China launched a satellite to support its global navigation and positioning network at 11:30 p.m. on June 12th, 2016.

　　人造卫星从四川省西昌卫星发射中心发射，由长征三号丙运载火箭带入轨道。本次发射的人造卫星是北斗卫星导航系统的第23颗人造卫星，北斗卫星导航系统可代替美国GPS。本次发射是长征三号丙运载火箭的第229次飞行。

　　The satellite, launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province, was taken into orbit by a Long March-3C carrier rocket. It is the 23rd satellite in the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), which is being developed as an alternative to U.S. GPS. It was the 229th launch of the Long March carrier rocket.

　　在进入预计运行轨道并完成在轨测试之后，人造卫星将与其它在轨人造卫星一起提高导航系统的稳定性，为北斗卫星导航系统的全球化覆盖做准备。

　　The satellite, after entering its designed work orbit and finishing in-orbit testing, will join others already in orbit and improve the stability of the system, preparing for BDS to offer global coverage.
