China targeting navigation system's global coverage by 2020
Beijing (XNA) Mar 07, 2013
China's homegrown navigation system BeiDou is expected to achieve full-scale global coverage by around 2020, a leading scientist told Xinhua on Sunday. The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) will then be able to provide highly accurate and reliable positioning, navigation and timing service with the aid of a constellation of 35 satellites, said Ye Peijian, chief commander of Chang'e-3, China's lunar probe mission. "So far, China has successfully launched 16 navigation satellites and fo ... read more
