2.通信广播卫星应用。通信广播卫星应用稳步推进，形成一定的市场规模。卫星广播电视网进一步完善，2008年建立“村村通”直播卫星服务平台，实现中央人民广播电台、中央电视台节目和省级一套广播电视节目通过卫星播出，进一步提高了全国广播电视节目覆盖率。加强卫星远程教育宽带网和卫星远程医疗网的建设，在一定程度上缓解了边远地区教育与医疗资源短缺的问题。加强卫星应急通信保障能力建设，为抢险救灾、重大突发事件处置提供了重要支撑。

    3.导航定位卫星应用。导航定位卫星应用步入产业化发展轨道，正在进入高速发展时期。利用国内外导航定位卫星，在导航定位卫星应用技术的开发和推广等方面取得重要进展，应用范围和领域不断扩大，全国卫星导航应用市场规模快速增长。积极推进“北斗”卫星导航系统的应用工作，“北斗”卫星导航系统已在交通运输、海洋渔业、水文监测、通信授时、电力调度和减灾救灾等领域得到应用。

 2) Applications of communications and broadcasting satellites

China has steadily promoted the applications of communications and broadcasting satellites, and has brought into being a market of certain scale. It has improved its satellite radio and TV network: in 2008 China established a satellite service platform to give every village access to direct broadcast and live telecasts. It also implemented satellite broadcasting and transmissions of China National Radio and China Central Television programs, and one channel program of provincial radio and TV stations, thus greatly increasing the radio and TV program coverage. China has strengthened development of its satellite tele-education broadband network and tele-medicine network, mitigating to some extent the problem of shortage of education and medical resources in remote and border areas. China has also strengthened its satellite capacity in emergency communications, providing important support for rescue and relief work and for major disaster management.

3) Applications of navigation and positioning satellites

China's applications of navigation and positioning satellites have embarked on the road of industrialized development, and are now developing at a high speed, and important progress has been made in developing navigation- and positioning-satellite applications. Through both domestic and foreign navigation and positioning satellites, China has been applying these technologies more broadly; as a result, the market for this industry has expanded rapidly. China strives to promote the application of its Beidou satellite navigation system, and the system has been used in transportation, sea fishing, hydrological monitoring, communications and timing service, power dispatching, and disaster reduction and relief.
