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 neighbouring regions by 2012.[1] In a second stage, the system will evolve to provide global navigation services by 2020, similarly to the GPS or GLONASS systems.[1]
As of April 2011, eight satellites for Compass have been launched, completing the first phase of BeiDou-2.[3][4]
