The Compass Navigation Satellite System (CNSS), also named BeiDou-2,[1] 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.[1][2]
Although the upgrade of its regional navigation system towards a global solution started in 1997, the formal approval by the Government of the development and deployment of BeiDou-2/CNSS was done in 2004.[1] 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 neighboring regions by 2012.[1] In a second stage, the system will evolve to provide global navigation services by 2020, similarly to the GPS, GLONASS or Galileo systems.[1]
As of August 2011, nine satellites for Compass have been launched, the first eight of which completed the deployment foreseen for the first phase of BeiDou-2.[1][3][4]
COMPASS Future and Evolutions
By April 2011, the initial phase of COMPASS system has been completed with a constellation of 4 GEO satellites and 3 IGSO satellites. During 2011, the system is going to launch another 4 Beidou Navigation Satellites, providing initial passive positioning navigation and timing services for the whole Asia-Pacific region, this will complete the first phase of COMPASS system by 2012[3].
The future COMPASS is expected to support two different kind of services: RDSS and RNSS.
In the Radio Determination Satellite System (RDSS) service, the user position is computed by a ground station using the round trip time of signals exchanged via GEO satellite. The RDSS Long term feature further includes[5]:
- Short message communication (guaranteeing backward compatibility with BeiDou-1)
- Large volume message communication
- Information connection
- Extended coverage
The Radio Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) sevice is very similar to GPS and Galileo and is designed to achieve similar performances. The global COMPASS system will be completed by 2020, with a Walker constellation of 27 MEOs plus 5 GEOs and the existing 3 IGSOs satellites of the regional system.[3][6]
The Chinese Government considers satellite navigation as strategic in the new generation information technology, and encourages international cooperation to ensure compatibility and interoperability with other navigation systems.[3]
