BEIDOU IGSO 1 is a Chinese navigation satellite part of the government-owned fleet. The Beidou spacecraft is likely headed for a circular orbit about 22,300 miles (35,900 km) high. Unlike satellites in geostationary orbit, it will cover territory near Earth's poles to provide global positioning and timing services. It joins four other Beidou satellites already in space. Two craft launched earlier this year are parked over the equator, while another satellite circles about 13,000 miles [20,900 km] above Earth.
