An eight-member Chinese survey team successfully summited the world's highest peak, Mount Qomolangma, at 11:00 am on Wednesday.

The height survey will be conducted using China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). All mapping equipment has been domestically developed. Aerospace gravity technology will be deployed to increase measurement accuracy and live 3D technology will be used to display the natural resources of the mountain.
