The Compass Navigation Satellite System (CNSS), also named BeiDou-2, is China’s second-generation satellite navigation system 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[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. As of April 2011, eight satellites for Compass have been launched. According to an official report[2], " 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.[3]
