The Spirit of BeiDou

After many years of planning and construction, China owns

one of the world’s major navigation (导航) satellite (卫星) systems—

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
BeiDou is currently the country’s largest space-based system

and is a part of people’s daily lives. More than 300,000 people

participated in BeiDou’s development and construction. They have
carried the spirit of “Two Bombs, One Satellite” into modern times

and developed the new spirit of BeiDou.
When looking up at the starry sky, don’t forget that the BDS is

working there. The light of science and technology will shine upon

the world.
