Brief Introduction to BeiDou Navigation Satellite System

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), a Chinese innovation, serves the world and benefits mankind. As one of the four global navigation satellite systems recognized by the United Nations, Chinese President XI Jinping  announced  its official commissioning of BDS-3 in the year 2020. Now it could provide seven types of services, including positioning, navigation and timing, global short message communication, regional short message communication, international search and rescue, satellite-based augmentation, ground-based augmentation, and precise point positioning.

For international cooperation, BDS has conducted compatibility cooperation with U.S. GPS, Russian GLONASS and European Galileo at systematic level, as well as the standard advancement of BDS entering international organization standards, such as International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Maritime Organization (IMO), Search and Rescue (SAR) satellite and Mobile Communication. Openness and Transparency is  what we desire, cooperation with countries and international organizations is what we devote. For more BDS information, please refer to the attachment "Development of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System" and "BDS White Paper". (http://en.beidou.gov.cn/)
