In order to master the positioning performance of BeiDou-2 and GPS in the Arctic region, the “5 GEO+5 IGSO+ 4 MEO†BeiDou-2 and “24 MEO†GPS using STK software is simulated. Based on this simulation, the satellite visibility, GDOP value and navigation accuracy in the Arctic region such as Yellow River Station (78.92° N and 11.93 ° E), Rick station (64.15°N, 21.57°W) and a third station are systematically analyzed. The results show that BeiDou-2 could not provide continuous and reliable service in the Arctic, while GPS has better performance.
