01 / Overview

This exhibit consists of a space segment model of the Beidou satellite navigation system, a light strip, a circular screen, a touch all-in-one machine, and visual graphic information. By reproducing the geostationary orbit (GEO), inclined geosynchronous orbit (GSO), medium earth orbit (MEO), and orbiting satellites in the space segment through orbit models, the composition and distribution of the Beidou satellite navigation system's space segment orbit are vividly displayed. By referring to the past data information of the Beidou satellite navigation system, multimedia display content can be built, and viewers can click to view numerous data information such as the number, name, launch date, orbit, operating status, and system of the Beidou satellite. This exhibit aims to introduce the Beidou satellite navigation system to the public. Through the composition and detailed data of the Beidou satellite navigation system, we showcase to visitors China's independently built and operated global satellite navigation system, which has the ability to provide all-weather, all day, high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing services for global users, arousing audience interest.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The Beidou Satellite Navigation System is a global satellite navigation system independently built by China. It consists of three parts: 1 Space segment: Navigation satellites in the sky, responsible for transmitting positioning and time signals; two Ground segment: Ground control and monitoring network, responsible for monitoring satellite status, calculating orbit and clock bias, and uploading calibration data to the satellite to ensure accurate and reliable signals; three User segment: Various Beidou/multi system compatible receiving devices and applications, responsible for receiving satellite signals and calculating position, velocity, and time. _X000c_Main purpose for precise positioning: providing real-time and accurate high-precision location information. This is the foundation for all location related applications such as vehicle monitoring and material tracking. Intelligent navigation: Based on precise positioning, the system can provide real-time navigation worldwide, helping to reduce detours, improve travel efficiency and road safety. Precision timing: for critical systems such as communication, power, and finance that require precise time synchronization, providing.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
