The utilization of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is becoming an attractive navigation approach for geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. A high-sensitivity receiver compatible with Global Position System (GPS) developed by the United States and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) developed by China has been used in a GEO satellite named TJS-5 to demonstrate feasibility of real-time navigation. According to inflight data, the GNSS signal characteristics including availability, position dilution of precision (PDOP), carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N₀), observations quantity and accuracy are analyzed. The mean number of GPS and GPS + BDS satellites tracked are 7.4 and 11.7 and the mean PDOP of GPS and GPS + BDS are 10.24 and 3.91, respectively. The use of BDS significantly increases the number of available navigation satellites and improves the PDOP. The number of observations with respect to C/N₀ is illustrated in detail. The standard deviation of the pseudorange noises are less than 4 m, and the corresponding carrier phase noises are mostly less than 8 mm. We present the navigation performance using only GPS observations and GPS + BDS observations combination at different weights through comparisons with the precision reference orbits. When GPS combined with BDS observations, the root mean square (RMS) of the single-epoch least square position accuracy can improve from 32.1 m to 16.5 m and the corresponding velocity accuracy can improve from 0.238 m/s to 0.165 m/s. The RMS of real-time orbit determination position accuracy is 5.55 m and the corresponding velocity accuracy is 0.697 mm/s when using GPS and BDS combinations. Especially, the position accuracy in x-axis direction reduced from 7.24 m to 4.09 m when combined GPS with BDS observations.
