The Chief Engineer of China's BeiDou-3 satellite system says navigation services will soon become available to countries along the Belt and Road. A phase of "adjustment work" is required before the system goes operational. So far the country has launched a total of 19 BeiDou-3 satellites into orbit and the two completed systems, BeiDou-1 and BeiDou-2, are already providing domestic Chinese and Asia-Pacific coverage. It's expected that once BeiDou-3 goes fully online, it will be able to cover the entire globe.
