Debris from rockets and satellites can fall back to Earth or collide with other objects, and wreckage that burns up can harm ...

GPS jamming and spoofing attacks are on the rise. If the global navigation system the US relies on were to go down entirely, it would send the world into unprecedented chaos.

Currently, more than 50 Beidou satellites are in active service, operating in multiple types of orbits. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. ( ...

What sets BeiDou apart is its ability to function completely independent of host infrastructure. These systems enable real-time, high-accuracy navigation in remote terrains where mobile signals ...

They are the 14th group of third-generation Beidou satellites operating in medium-Earth orbits and the second batch deployed in such an orbit since the completion of the Beidou global system, the ...

They join 30 other BeiDou-3 satellites in various orbits, including 24 in medium Earth orbits at an altitude of about 21,000km (13,050 miles), and six in geostationary and inclined geosynchronous ...

Two backup Beidou positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) satellites were successfully inserted into medium Earth orbits (MEO). These satellites are the 59th and 60th launched for China’s ...

Their orbits will continue to change but with no ability for us to control them (there are some proposed countermeasures though). A collision is space could herald worse to come.

China has launched two satellites into medium-Earth orbits (MEO) for its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, reported the China Satellite Navigation Office. The satellites were carried by a Long March ...

India’s homegrown navigation system is going to compete with U.S.’s GPS, EU’s Galileo, Russia’s GLONASS and China’s BeiDou.

Different from foreign navigation systems, China's BeiDou-3 system adopts a mixed constellation mode, consisting of 30 satellites in three different orbits: 24 medium-Earth orbit satellites, three ...
