The successful development of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a significant scientific and technological achievement that China has made since the reform and opening up. Through relentless efforts, the R&D team overcame numerous technical challenges, enabling the BDS to achieve global coverage and high-precision positioning. This has made China one of the few countries with an independent global satellite navigation system. The BDS has been widely applied in fields such as transportation, disaster relief, weather forecasting, and public security. Now, the BDS has gained widespread international recognition and is providing high-quality services to an increasing number of countries and regions.
