"At present, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the satellite's telemetry parameters every day, so as to estimate the operating state of the satellite in orbit, check any abnormality and hidden risks, and achieve early detection and early corrections. Next, we will carry out platform in-orbit testing, inter-satellite link testing and satellite node access to ensure that the satellite will be connected to the network as soon as possible to provide continuous, stable and reliable navigation services."

"The regular examination is very important to check the status of the satellite. We establish a satellite condition assessment system based on the characteristics of satellite parameters. We make an exclusive examination form for each satellite, and generate a radar chart of the conditions. At present, all BeiDou navigation satellites in orbit are operating in good condition."

Storyline


China's 54th BeiDou Navigation Satellite has successfully entered into its long-term operation mode after its launch last month, with the satellite being the penultimate step in completing the whole BeiDou global system.

The new satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), the 54th of the BeiDou family, blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province on March 9, and is the the second geostationary earth orbit satellite of the BDS-3 system, with the last one expected to be launched in May.

Engineers at the China Xi'an Satellite Control Center in northwest Chin's Shaanxi Province have been monitoring the status of the satellite in real time, analyzing its parameters so as to ensure the satellite's safe operation.

"At present, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the satellite's telemetry parameters every day, so as to estimate the operating state of the satellite in orbit, check any abnormality and hidden risks, and achieve early detection and early corrections. Next, we will carry out platform in-orbit testing, inter-satellite link testing and satellite node access to ensure that the satellite will be connected to the network as soon as possible to provide continuous, stable and reliable navigation services," said Zhang Hailong, a senior engineer at China Xi'an Satellite Control Center.

In recent years, the Xi'an Satellite Control Center has been continuously optimizing its own self-developed satellite fault diagnosis system to ensure that any irregularities will be reported for technicians to analyze and promptly address any issues.

"The regular examination is very important to check the status of the satellite. We establish a satellite condition assessment system based on the characteristics of satellite parameters. We make an exclusive examination form for each satellite, and generate a radar chart of the conditions. At present, all BeiDou navigation satellites in orbit are operating in good condition," said Lu Guang, another of the center's senior engineers.

China began to construct its navigation system, named after the Chinese term for the Big Dipper constellation, in the 1990s and started serving the Asia-Pacific Region in 2012. At present, all the first generation BDS-1 satellites have ended operations, and a total of 54 BDS-2 and BDS-3 satellites have been sent into space.

China aims to complete the construction of the BDS constellation after the last launch in May, with the system set to provide high-precision, reliable positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world.
