==Introduction==
 
According to the China National Space Administration, the development of the Chinese global navigation system should be carried out in three steps:

*2000 - 2003: experimental BeiDou navigation system consisting of 3 satellites;
*by 2012: regional BeiDou navigation system covering China and neighboring regions;
*by 2020: global BeiDou navigation system, or Compass Navigation system.
 
The first two satellites, BeiDou-1A and  BeiDou-1B have been launched in 2000. The third satellite BeiDou-1C (as backup satellite), was put into orbit on 25 May 2003, meaning the establishment of the BeiDou-1 navigation system.
 
On November 2, 2006, China announced the 2nd generation Chinese navigation system, COMPASS, and that from 2008 BeiDou system would be evolved and would offer an open service with an accuracy of 10 meters, timing of 0.2 nanoseconds, speed of 0.2 meter/second. It followed that in February 2007, the fourth and also the last satellite of BeiDou-1 system, the BeiDou-1D (sometimes called BeiDou-2A, serving as a backup satellite), was launched and put into orbit.
 
In April 2007, the first satellite of BeiDou-2, namely Compass-M1, whose purpose was to validate frequencies for the COMPASS constellation, was successfully put into its working orbit. The second BeiDou-2 constellation satellite Compass-G2 was launched on 15 April 2009. The third satellite (Compass-G1) was carried into its orbit by Long March 3C (LM-3C) carrier rocket  on January 17, 2010. On the 2nd of June 2010, the fourth satellite, Compass-G3, was launched successfully into orbit. The fifth orbiter, COMPASS-IGSO1, was launched into space by LM-3I carrier rocket from Xichang Satellite Launch Center on August 1, 2010. Three months later, on November 1, 2010, the sixth satellite,Compass-G4, was sent into orbit by LM-3C.  Another IGSO navigation satellite, COMPASS-IGSO2, has been launched on December 18, 2010.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beidou_navigation_system Beidou Navigation System in Wikipedia]</ref><ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_navigation_system COMPASS Navigation system in Wikipedia]</ref>

The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), also known as BeiDou-2[1], is China’s second-generation satellite navigation system[1][2] that will be capable of providing positioning, navigation, and timing services to users on a continuous worldwide basis[3].

Although the evolution of its regional navigation system towards a global solution started in 1997, the formal approval by the Government of the development and deployment of BDS System was done in 2006 and it is expected to provide global navigation services by 2020, similarly to the GPS, GLONASS or Galileo systems.[1]

As of December 2011, the BeiDou system was officially announced to provide Initial Operational Service providing initial passive positioning navigation and timing services for the whole Asia-Pacific region with a constellation of 10 satellites (5 GEO satellites and 5 IGSO satellites)[4][2]. During 2012, 5 additional satellites (1 GEO satellites and 4 MEO satellites) were launched increasing to 14 the number of satellites of the constellation. Until 2020, the system is going to launch the remaining satellites and evolve towards global navigation capability.[5][4].
