Keep improving the continuous stability and service accuracy of the BeiDou System, and will launch 2 BeiDou-2 backup satellites in 2018, ensuring its regional service performance maintain stable and grow better.2 Push forward the research, development and construction of BeiDou-3 system.In 2017, it is planned to launch 6 to 8 BeiDou-3 MEO satellitesIn 2018, about 10 BeiDou-3 MEO satellites and 1 BeiDou-3 GEO satellite will be launchedFrom 2019 to 2020, 6 BeiDou-3 MEO satellites, 3 BeiDou-3 IGSO satellites and 2 BeiDou-3 GEO satellites will be launched
BEIJING: A new powerful chip technology has been introduced in China's national satellite navigation system to provide high-precision positioning.The chip, which will be attached to the satellites of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, was unveiled by the Global Navigation Satellite System and Location Based Service (GNSS & LBS) Association of China (GLAC).The positioning accuracy of the chip reaches at sub-metre level without ground-based augmentation, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. The chip, developed by Shenzhen-based Allystar Technology, has been earlier used in unmanned driving systems, wearable devices, precision agriculture and smart logistics.The chip supports the new generation of BDS-3 satellites for high-precision navigation and positioning, the report said.Besides navigation, China also uses BDS for its military applications to avoid dependence on America's Global Positioning System (GPS)....
