What is the Beidou satellite navigation system?

BeiDou is a global satellite navigation system independently constructed and operated by China, and it is the only navigation system in the world consisting of three types of orbiting satellites.

On June 23, the last satellite of the global network of BeiDou-3 entered the predetermined orbit smoothly. After that, China will carry out the joint testing of the entire BeiDou system, and provide complete all-day, all-weather, high-precision global positioning, navigation and timing services to global users at an opportune time.

Wang Jingang, deputy chief designer of Beidou-3 at the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said in an interview that this means China's satellite navigation system will enter a brand new era.

Currently more mature applications are now also mainly manifested in some industrial applications, such as the flight control of unmanned aircraft, then we are a mature application. Now under development is a Beidou vehicle guidance level of a navigation, there is also an unmanned vehicle automatic driving, which is used better. In addition, in fine agriculture, the control of agricultural machinery is also doing very well. In the bridge, highway slope, in the power tower, in the high-speed rail roadbed monitoring also used Beidou.

A Beidou navigation satellite patrols the sky and measures the ground, as the crystallization of China's independent innovation, to provide first-class satellite navigation services for mankind. In particular, the short message service of "texting" with navigation satellites is a feature of Beidou that no other foreign satellite navigation system has.

So the Beidou satellite for us to live a convenient life conditions, and let our lives greatly improved, I hope my answer to you have helped!
