The Compass Navigation Satellite System (CNSS), or BeiDou-2, is China’s second-generation satellite navigation system capable of providing continuous, real-time passive 3D geo-spatial positioning and speed measurement. The system will initially used to provide high-accuracy positioning services for users in China and its neighbouring regions, covering an area of about 120 degrees longitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The long-term goal is to develop an independent global navigation satellite network similar to the GPS and GLONASS. [1]

The COMPASS Ground Segment consists of:[2]

  • a Master Control Station,
  • an Upload Station and
  • several Monitor Stations.

In June 2011, the system has completed the ground segment equipment development, installation and commissioning, all functions operating normally. [3]
