On Friday, China introduced an open cloud platform aimed at offering a variety of aerospace information application services to the public, including remote-sensing data.
The GEOVIS Cloud Open Platform is designed to facilitate applications in areas such as smart agriculture, environmental protection, urban planning, traffic monitoring, and natural disaster warning.
The platform aims to reduce barriers for users looking to access aerospace information services. It also features common remote-sensing products focused on key parameters such as vegetation ecology, water resources, soil, and atmosphere.
In recent years, China has increased the number of satellites in orbit and made significant advancements in observation methods, particularly with its high-resolution Earth observation system. Alongside this, the country's capabilities in remote-sensing data acquisition and the variety of available resources have seen notable enhancement.
The unique capabilities of remote-sensing satellite technology are benefiting various industries by offering extensive spatial and temporal coverage as well as high-precision information.
As China has developed a comprehensive Earth observation system that includes land, meteorological, and marine satellites, its remote-sensing satellites are recognized as globally advanced in both quantity and quality.
By the conclusion of 2022, China had 294 civilian remote-sensing satellites operational in orbit, 189 of which were commercial satellites, representing over 60 percent of the total. This growth has positioned commercial remote-sensing satellites as the primary component of China's civilian remote-sensing capabilities.
