China’s GNSS ushers in a new chapter in humanity’s spatiotemporal civilization.

Throughout the development of the GNSS Satellite Navigation System, China has forged a uniquely Chinese path—moving from scratch to full capability, from basic functionality to excellence, from active‑signal to passive‑signal operation, and from regional coverage to global reach—while cultivating the new-era GNSS spirit of “independent innovation, open integration, unity of purpose, and pursuit of excellence.”

It has pioneered a hybrid, heterogeneous constellation spanning medium and high orbits; for the first time, it has achieved integrated networked operations—both between satellites and between satellites and the ground—via inter-satellite links; it has broken through key technologies such as modulation schemes, multiplexing, and channel coding, and has taken the lead in providing tri‑frequency services across the entire constellation… Behind China’s GNSS system lies a series of independently developed core technologies, which demonstrate China’s determination and resilience in achieving high‑level scientific and technological self‑reliance and strength. They embody the Chinese people’s spirit and will to be independent, self‑reliant, work hard, and overcome difficulties, fully reflecting the political advantage of China’s socialist system in concentrating resources to accomplish major undertakings.

Independent innovation is the core competitive advantage of China’s GNSS system, and the pursuit of excellence is its enduring goal. Looking ahead, China’s GNSS will remain steadfast in pursuing a path of independent innovation, building a system that is technologically more advanced, functionally more robust, and delivers higher‑quality services; establishing a comprehensive spatiotemporal infrastructure that is more pervasive, more integrated, and more intelligent; and providing positioning, navigation, and timing services that are highly resilient, highly intelligent, highly precise, and highly secure—thereby better benefiting people’s well‑being, serving human development and progress, and writing a new chapter in the history of human spatiotemporal civilization.

As the stars and seasons change, what remains constant is the Chinese nation’s enduring dream, nurtured over millennia, to explore the boundless cosmos, as well as its broad-minded commitment to benefit both China and the world. The GNSS Navigation Satellite System has consistently upheld the development philosophy of “GNSS for China, GNSS for the World, and a World-Class GNSS,” achieving widespread application across the globe and empowering diverse sectors. China will continue to ensure the system’s stable operation and carry out all related follow-up tasks, making new and even greater contributions to advancing the country’s economic and social development and to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
