On Thursday, the China Meteorological Administration launched "FengYun Space," a new integrated operational system for space weather. This initiative aims to enhance China's capabilities in monitoring and providing early warnings for space weather.
The launch took place during the 2025 "China Space Day" event in Shanghai.
Developed by the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the platform integrates various components including data processing, storage, analytical applications, and comprehensive display features. It encompasses functions such as monitoring data collection, forecast analysis, numerical prediction, and impact assessment, combining 66 basic monitoring products, 234 forecast products, 156 service products, and over 600 information products.
According to the CMA, the "FengYun Space" system has demonstrated its effectiveness in operational modes, enabling systematic forecasts of space weather related to solar activity, interplanetary space, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere across various time frames from real-time to long-term predictions. It has also shown valuable application potential across sectors such as aviation, aerospace, communications, navigation, energy, and power.
During space weather events, including the super geomagnetic storm outbreak in April, the CMA reported that the system achieved "zero-delay" responses multiple times, automatically generating and distributing service products to users, which effectively illustrated its forecasting, early warning, and service capabilities.
Additionally, the "FengYun Space" system supports weather forecasts for the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft, which was launched into space on the same day, ensuring the stable operation of the spacecraft and the safety of its astronauts.
