In this report we present the current status of the Chinese VLBI network (CVN), and the results of satellite tracking experiments in the past few years related to realtime processing of the CVN dataflow and the reliability and precision of the CVN measurements. We briefly outline the prospective astrometric roles of CVN in the studies of long-term monitoring of extragalactic radio sources, densification of radio celestial reference frame, determination of Earth Orientation Parameters and linkage parameters of reference frames as well as the observation of pulsars for deep space autonomous navigation.
