China will launch its sixth orbiter into space in "coming days" as part of its indigenous satellite-navigation and -positioning network.
A spokesman for the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province said the "Beidou," or Compass, navigation satellite will be launched on a Long March-3C carrier rocket.
It will join five other satellites already in orbit to form a network, which will eventually consist of 35 satellites.
