With a long history and a splendid culture,?China?is one of the important cradles of early human civilization. In ancient times, Chinese people used the Big Dipper (Beidou) for identifying directions, and invented the world’s first navigation device, the ancient compass (Sinan), which was a great contribution to the development of world civilization. In modern society, the Chinese-built BeiDou（COMPASS）?system will become another contribution to the mankind. In early 1980s,?China?began to actively study the navigation satellite systems in line with?China’s conditions. In 2000, BeiDou Navigation Demonstration System is basically established, which made?China?the third nation in possession of an independent navigation satellite system following the?United States?and?Russia. At present,?China?is steadily accelerating the construction of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, and has already successfully launched 10 satellites so far. The BeiDou system will meet the demands of?China’s national security, economic development, technological advances and social progress, safeguard national interests and enhance the comprehensive national strength.
