With the successful launch of the second "Beidou-2" navigation satellite at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on April 15 with the "Long March Three C" launch vehicle, China's global satellite positioning dream is gradually becoming a reality.
From this year, the Beidou satellite navigation system will enter the peak of the networking. According to reports, this year and next year, China will launch about 10 "Beidou II" navigation satellites. It plans to build a constellation of about 35 satellites in 2015 to form a Chinese satellite navigation and positioning system to achieve global positioning.
Rising star
At present, there are four major satellite positioning systems in the world, namely, the United States’ global satellite navigation and positioning system GPS, the Russian GLONASS system, the European "Galileo" system under construction, and China's Beidou system.
Satellite navigation and positioning technology refers to the use of a set of navigation satellites to accurately locate the ground, ocean and space users. It has all-time, all-weather, high-precision, continuous real-time navigation, positioning and timing characteristics, has become a widely used navigation and positioning technology.
GPS is the global satellite positioning system established by the United States after spending 20 years and costing more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. It is the third large space plan following the Apollo Moon Plan and the Space Shuttle Plan. GPS can now provide 24/7 positioning and navigation for cars, ships, airplanes, and even personal transportation.
The European Galileo positioning system is being stepped up and 30 satellites are planned. China is also participating in Galileo's international cooperation.
Since 2000, China has successively launched four "Beidou No. 1" to No. 04 pilot navigation satellites to form China's first satellite navigation and positioning system. On April 14, 2007, China successfully launched the first "Beidou-2" navigation satellite, which marked the beginning of the Beidou system from the first generation to the second generation.
In the next few years, China will successively launch a series of Beidou navigation satellites to meet the needs of users of satellite navigation systems in China and the surrounding areas, and conduct system networking and experiments, and then gradually expand into global satellite navigation systems.
It is worthwhile to spend huge amounts of money to launch dozens of satellites and establish a global satellite positioning and navigation system with independent intellectual property rights.
As the first domestic company authorized to engage in Beidou system operation and service business, relevant person in charge of Beidou Xingtong (002151.SZ) stated that China’s satellite applications have developed rapidly in recent years, but the vast majority of applications are based on the US military-led Above the GPS system. Once the United States shuts down its applications, the consequences are disastrous. China must have its own satellite system, which is also one of the meanings of establishing the Beidou system.
Small scale chopper
The Beidou system, which is currently being accelerated in China, can provide navigation and positioning services for users around the world. In the military, the system can provide positioning services with precision of 20 to 100 meters for individual soldiers, vehicles, ships, helicopters, etc., and can transmit information of up to 120 Chinese characters at a time. Such as transportation, scheduling command, search and rescue, real-time inquiries of geographical information.
In the civil context, Compass satellite navigation system can provide positioning for the shipping, road transport, rail transport, field work, hydrological forecasting, forest fire, fishery, prospecting, designing, environmental monitoring and many other industries and other units with special dispatching requirements Comprehensive services such as communications and timing.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Beidou System played a role in the positioning and monitoring of traffic and venue safety. However, the most striking performance of the system was in the Wenchuan earthquake relief.
At that time, China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Application Management Center urgently allocated 1,000 Beidou No. 1 terminals to first-line rescue units. China's self-developed "Beidou-1" navigation satellite terminal was provided to the disaster-relief troops for navigation and positioning in the event of communication disruption caused by the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan.
In July, the automatic reminder system for helicopters in the Northeast Power Grid was formally launched. This system is based on the Beidou satellite system.
This is just part of the application of the Beidou system in the power grid industry.
The clock source of the current time synchronization system in China's power industry mostly uses the GPS system as the primary clock source. Once the United States shuts down the civil GPS signal or fails, our country's power grid will be placed in a dangerous situation.
East China Power Grid official said, the operation of the grid system equipment often rely on several kilometers outside the command dispatcher, a variety of computer technology and communication technology-based automation devices such as SCADA systems, substation computer monitoring system, thermal power plant units Automatic control systems, etc., can't do without their unified network-wide time reference.
It is understood that East China Power Grid Corporation is conducting a joint R&D on the time synchronization monitoring system of Beidou Electric Power based on the characteristics of the Beidou Satellite System.
In the field of communications, relevant persons from the Design Institute of China Mobile Communications Corporation stated that currently Huawei's TD network adopts Huawei's, ZTE's, Datang Mobile's, Putian's and other TD equipment vendors' equipment to begin adopting new timing schemes, bypassing US GPS global positioning. The system, which uses China's self-launched Beidou satellite as a time signal source, uses Beidou satellites and GPS satellites to provide dual-mode timing.
Market opportunities
In the 1990s, the United States officially opened up the use of GPS signals to the world. Today, from navigating navigation, engineering surveying and mapping, to hiking and hiking, and traveling by car, GPS systems are all indispensable. In the largest personal consumption area of ​​the market, GPS has been at a monopoly position.
Chinese manufacturers need to rely on the Beidou system to enter this market.
China is already the world's largest shipping market, the largest automotive market, and the largest mobile communications market. After the Beidou Global Positioning System is fully commercialized, the market potential is unprecedented.
According to the data from China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Application Management Center, Beidou Satellite Navigation and Positioning System (Generation) has surpassed 40,000 users since it opened more than five years ago. Over the past few years, the Beidou Industrial Chain has gathered more than 40 research and production companies, 7 branch service professional companies, state-level satellite navigation and positioning information service centers, construction application teams with tens of thousands of scientific and technical personnel, and tens of thousands of annual equipment production capacities. The industrialization scale of the market share of several billion yuan.
However, the report of the National Geographic Information Industry Summit shows that the total value of the domestic GPS navigation industry has exceeded 50 billion yuan, the number of users exceeds 5 million, and it has grown at a rate of several million users per year.
There is a big difference between the two.
The Beidou system has just started and it needs the support of the government in terms of policy.
According to the "Youth Reference" report, Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Ivanov said that the Russian government will increase the tariff of imported GPS receiver equipment by at least 25% to support its own Grounas satellite navigation system.
According to analysis, China will also create an environment that can compete fairly with GPS for the domestic "Beidou" satellite navigation system. Some foreign media even speculated that China may "take similar measures as Russia" for the purpose of protecting its own domestic market.
From this year, the Beidou satellite navigation system will enter the peak of the networking. According to reports, this year and next year, China will launch about 10 "Beidou II" navigation satellites. It plans to build a constellation of about 35 satellites in 2015 to form a Chinese satellite navigation and positioning system to achieve global positioning.
