When you want to go somewhere, you can easily find your way by using a map app on your smart phone. Your smart phone “knows” where you are and can tell you where to go.
This is possible with the help of satellite navigation (satnav) systems (SNS). A sutnav system uses groups of satellites to find out where people are. It sends information to a receiver, such as a smart phone. The more satellites a system has, the more accurate it will be.
On June 23, 2020, the last satellite of China’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System was sent into space. Beidou, China’s own satnav system, was finally completed. It is one of the four global navigation systems, along with US’GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.
On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. More than 120 countries and areas are now using Beidou services.
Since 2000, China has sent up 59 Beidou satellites! Beidon can be used in areas that include farming, public services and business. It has a positioning accuracy of under 10 metres. This summer, people along the Yangtze River used Beidou-based device to monitor floodwaters in real-time with an accuracy of just a few centimeters.
Beidou also has a special messaging ability. It allows people to send text messages up to 1,200 Chinese characters in length when mobile phone services are broken.
