Abstract

Abstract: The deep development of the BeiDou navigation satellite system(BDS) cannot be separated from the support of corresponding talent education, especially the development of new digital resources and tools. A visual simulation teaching platform for BDS was designed based on open source Cesium engine library to address issues such as the large and complex size of the BDS project, the unreachable space environment, and the difficult understanding of principles and concepts. The platform adopted a B/S architecture to achieve visual simulation of course content such as orbit cognition, orbit calculation, constellation simulation, service performance, and satellite links. Teaching applications have shown that the software has realistic scenes and strong interactivity, which can enhance students' understanding of the related knowledge for BDS and enhance their learning interest and enthusiasm. At the same time, it can provide more functional and diverse teaching platform support for course teachers, further improving the quality of course teaching.
