It has been about twenty years since China sent up the first Beidou satellite in 2000.At that time,more Beidou satellites were sent into space to form the Beidou Navigation(导航) Satellite System(BDS).In late 2012,it began providing positioning,navigation,timing and messaging services to people in China and other parts of the Asiapacific region(地区).
At the end of 2018,BDS started to provide global services.It means that Beidou enter into a global era(时代) from its regional era,BDS Spokesperson Ran Chengqi said at a news conference.
Now BDS has 53 satellites in space—more than the US government's GPS which has 31 active satellites.It means the core of Beidou's thirdgeneration network is now finished.It is expected to greatly improve the system's ability to serve users worldwide.
Although a satellitebased navigation system needs only 24 satellites to run properly,53 allows for better coverage.GPS calculates locations to within a few meters,but BDS reduces the error to centimeters.This highprecision(精密度) service is useful for surveying,farming,driving and so on.
China is willing to share BDS with the world.According to Ran,BDS products have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions.The Beidou system will always stick to the concept of “China's Beidou,the world's Beidou,and the first class Beidou”,serving the world and benefiting mankind,Ran told reporters recently.By then,we can probably say that Rome has finally been built.
