China Efforts on Earth Observation Data Sharing

Abstract:

With a large number of Earth-observing satellites in orbit, China equipped with whole-system observation and data service capabilities. Data facilities, such as the National Earth Observation Scientific Data Center, harvest remote sensing data and information product resources from various Chinese agencies for data collation, processing and service, which not only meets the needs of Chinese users, but also benefits international users. This report systematically introduces China's work on Earth observation data sharing and introduces a series of important service systems for obtaining China's remote sensing data.
