	Presently, the in-orbit operational BDS satellites providing open services include 5 GEO satellites, 7 IGSO satellites and 21 MEO satellites, which can be further divided as 15 BDS-2 satellites ( 5 BDS-2G, 7 BDS-2I, 3 BDS-2M) and 18 BDS-3 satellites (BDS-3M). In addition to B1I and B2I signals, the B1C and B2a ones have started broadcasting by the BDS-3M satellites<ref name="BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Open Service Performance Standard ">[http://en.beidou.gov.cn/SYSTEMS/Officialdocument/~~201812~~/~~P020181227424526837905~~.pdf] BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Open Service Performance ~~Standard（Version 2.0)~~</ref>.
