China Launches 1st hack proof communication satellite.

China on 16 August 2016 launched the world's first quantum satellite named Quantum Experiments at Space Scaler (QUESS) satellite. 
•    The satellite was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the remote northwestern province of Gansu.
•    The satellite will help establish hack-proof communications between space and the ground.
•    It is nicknamed Micius, after a 5th century BC Chinese philosopher and scientist who has been credited as the first one in human history conducting optical experiments.
•    It is designed to establish hack-proof quantum communications by transmitting uncrackable keys from space to the ground.
•    It will enable secure communications between Beijing and Urumqi, the capital of China's violence-prone far western region of Xinjiang.
•    It will circle the Earth once every 90 minutes after it enters a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 500 km.
