On the afternoon of July 14, under the leadership of the Huangshan Hydrology and Water Resources Bureau of Anhui Province and with the assistance of the Huizhou District Water Resources Bureau, Fuxi Township in Huizhou District completed the on-site deployment and commissioning of the “Beidou/GNSS area rainfall gauge,” officially entering the trial operation phase.

Telstra, Australia’s largest telecommunications provider, experienced a widespread service outage on the 8th, causing disruptions to rail services, banking payment systems, data centers, and other services across the country, severely impacting the daily lives of millions of people. Later that day, the company announced that services had been fully restored.

Recently, the Beidou Satellite Navigation System has seen increasingly widespread application in areas such as ecological conservation, transportation, and emergency response, empowering industry governance with precise spatiotemporal data and providing robust technological support for safeguarding people’s lives and property and ensuring the stable operation of critical infrastructure.

On May 18, the *2026 China BeiDou Spatio-Temporal Industry Development White Paper* was released in Beijing. According to data from the white paper, in 2025, the total output value of China’s satellite navigation industry reached 629 billion yuan, representing a year-over-year increase of 9.24%. In the face of the accelerating evolution of artificial intelligence, Beidou is also undergoing transformation and making significant strides.

A report released Monday by the China Global Navigation Satellite System and Location Services Association (GLAC) indicates that by 2025, the total output value of China’s Beidou navigation industry will reach 1.33 trillion yuan (approximately $195 billion). This was reported by China Global Television Network (CGTN).

Today is the eleventh "China Space Day", which is also the 70th anniversary of China's space industry. From "Dongfanghong No. 1" to "Beidou" to serve the whole world, for 70 years, the Chinese astronauts have used the spirit of "Two Bombs and One Star", the spirit of manned spaceflight and the spirit of "Beidou" in the new era to build a monument in the vastness of space that has attracted the attention of the world.
