Best Paper Award at the 5th International Summit on BDS Applications

September 16, 2026

Best Paper Award at the 5th International Summit on BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Applications.

On September 15, 2026, our work, "Toward Lunar Satellite Navigation: System Design and Key Technologies", received a Best Paper Award at the 5th International Summit on BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) Applications, held in Zhuzhou, Hunan, China. The summit received 143 paper submissions, and following multiple rounds of review, 10 papers were selected for the Best Paper Award.

As lunar exploration moves toward sustained and large-scale operations, reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services will become an increasingly important part of future lunar infrastructure. Our work explores the design of a satellite-based lunar navigation system and the key technologies required to support such services.
