The Third China Satellite Navigation Conference has opened in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong Province. Satellite experts, government officials and business executives from China, the US, Russia, Europe and Japan are participating in the event.
The Beidou system chief designer, Sun Jiadong, said China will expand the Beidou satellite navigation service across the entire country.
Beidou is a satellite navigation system developed by China and has been providing services since the end of 2011. The conference is a key stage for China to exchange with the world in the field of satellite navigation know-how and to enhance innovation of its own satellite techniques.
