developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Ltd.
In 1975, China successfully launched and recovered
its first returnable remote sensing satellite.
For the first time, Chinese people look at their motherland with their own "Eye in the Sky"
Later, China launched
a series of returnable remote sensing satellites
Obtained a batch of precious remote sensing images
Serving national economic development
In 1999, CBERS-01 satellite successfully launched for the first time.
Clear images can be sent back to Earth in Space without returning to Earth
