The statistics of international disaster database shows that the disaster loss of the area along the Belt and Road is over two times of the global average value, of which, meteorological disaster accounts for most. There are many depopulated zones with mountains, plateaus, deserts and oceans whichcause meteorological observation blind spots and become the weak point of whether forecasting. The meteorological satellite moving in the outer space could operate all-weather, stereoscopic observation and clearly perceive the changes of wind and cloud and effectively make up the weak point of ground-based observation.
