Overview

China's global navigation satellite system, using a mix of medium-Earth, geostationary, and inclined geosynchronous orbits.

Member satellites

Individual members of large, fast-changing constellations are not enumerated here — their rosters change continually, and this encyclopedia does not invent a fixed list. The constellation is modelled as a single entity connected to its operator and orbit.
