Chinese environment satellites
Two environment and disaster monitoring satellites officially began their operating on March 30, China's State Administration of Science Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) said. The two small optical land observation satellites, Huanjing-1A and Huanjing-1B, would play an important role in providing data as part of the United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER), a UN program to provide such information universally. With advanced optical, thermal infrared and hyper-spectral remote sensing equipment, the satellites would greatly raise China's ability to monitor the environment, Wu Xiaoqing, Vice Minister of Environmental Protection, said at a ceremony to mark the event.
