Two contrasting reports on the latest launch of Beidou's second last satellite.
The first is just a general report of the latest launch and an overview of Beidou.
This second article (below) compared Beidou with GPS with the competitive angle. Worth reading.

Launch date of Long March 7A is rumored to be March 16. Not sure what time, though.
Is this last satellite scheduled to be launched to complete Beidou navigation constellation ?
