China has successfully launched the fifth Compass (Beidou-2) navigation satellite, which represents the first Intermediate GEO Satellite (IGSO) in the series

The construction of the BeiDou-2 satellite navigation system is an important stage in the development of China's BeiDou satellite navigation system, which has achieved the transition from regional to global coverage. The Beidou-2 system consists of 14 satellites, including 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites, 5 inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) satellites and 4 medium circular earth orbit (MEO) satellites

This hybrid constellation design is internationally recognised as one of the best in the world. The design of this hybrid constellation is the first of its kind in the international arena, and it is capable of achieving good coverage with a minimum number of satellites.
The construction of the Beidou-2 system began.

The construction of the Beidou-2 system began in 2004, and in 2012, it completed the launch and networking of all satellites and officially provided services to the Asia-Pacific region.
The construction of the system has not only enhanced China's position in the Asia-Pacific region, but also its ability to provide services. The construction of the system has not only upgraded China's technological level in the field of satellite navigation, but also provided users in China and neighbouring regions with high-precision positioning, navigation and timing services.

The successful deployment of the BeiDou-2 system marks a solid step forward for China in the field of satellite navigation systems and lays the foundation for the subsequent global deployment of the BeiDou-3 system. The BeiDou-3 system has further expanded its service scope and achieved global coverage, making the BeiDou system one of the few global satellite navigation systems in the world.
