China says India has done a better job than China in promoting satellite launch technology. Zhang Yonghe, Director of the New Technology Department of the Shanghai Engineering Centre for Microsatellites, said in Beijing that the launch indicated that India can send commercial satellites into space at lower costs and country's competitiveness in the global race for the burgeoning commercial space businesses. <br/><br/>Acknowledging that after reaching Mars ahead of China, India stole the march last week by putting 104 satellites into orbit from a single rocket, Zhang said,China will likely fast-track the commercialisation of its rocket launches to vie for the world's burgeoning small satellite launch market.
