The BeiDou Space Segment consists of a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 non-GSO satellites. The system is currently under development [[BeiDou_Future_and_Evolutions|evolving]] from a regional system called [[Other Regional Systems#BeiDou-1|BeiDou-1]], and in the first phase will provide global navigation services by 2020, similarly to the [[GPS General Introduction|GPS]], [[GLONASS General Introduction|GLONASS]] or [[GALILEO General Introduction|Galileo]] systems.


The Compass Navigation Satellite System (CNSS), also named BeiDou-2, is China’s second-generation satellite navigation system that will be  capable of providing positioning, navigation, and timing services to users on a continuous worldwide basis.
On November 2, 2006, China announced the 2nd generation Chinese navigation system, COMPASS<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_navigation_system COMPASS Navigation system in Wikipedia]</ref>. The system is currently under development evolving from a regional system called BeiDou-1, and in the first phase will provide high-accuracy positioning services for users in China and its neighbouring regions. As of April 2011, eight satellites for Compass have been launched. According to an official report<ref name="Compass-IGSO3">[http://business.globaltimes.cn/industries/2011-04/642763.html ''China completes basic Beidou (Compass) Navigation Satellite System''], 2011-04-10 by Globaltimes.cn</ref>, " ''the eighth Beidou/Compass satellite marks the completion of basic function of Beidou (Compass) Navigation Satellite System'' " .


The long-term goal is to develop an independent ''global'' navigation satellite system similar to the GPS and GLONASS.<ref name=Chinese_today>[http://www.sinodefence.com/space/spacecraft/beidou2.asp Compass on the Chinese Defence Today website] </ref>

As of April 2011, eight satellites for Compass have been launched. According to an official report <ref name="Compass-IGSO3"/>, " ''the eighth Beidou satellite marks the completion of basic function of Beidou (Compass) Navigation Satellite System and will collaborate with five navigation satellites launched last year to establish a navigating system of three GEO (geostationary orbit) satellites plus three IGSO (Inclined Geo Synchronous orbit) satellites. The system will be able to provide services to most regions in China after a period of orbiting running tests and system integration.'' "

The BeiDou Space Segment consists of a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 non-GSO satellites. The system is currently under development evolving from a regional system called BeiDou-1, and in the first phase will provide global navigation services by 2020, similarly to the GPS, GLONASS or Galileo systems.


BeiDou Space Segment

The BeiDou Space Segment will consist of a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 non-GSO satellites; 27 in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and 3 in Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO), with a worldwide coverage.[1][2]

BeiDou Space Segment

As of December 2011, the Initial Operation Service was officially declared providing initial passive positioning navigation and timing services for China service area[2].


The nominal constellation includes 35 satellites, 5 GEOs, 3 IGSOs and 27 MEOs. The number of IGSO orbits is 3, with one IGSO per plane. The intersection node is 118E. The MEOs are deployed as a Walker constellation; 24 MEOs in 3 planes plus 3 spares. The orbital parameters of the final constellation are shown in the following table:[1]
