CBERS-4A, the sixth satellite of the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program, was launched
The CBERS-4A, the sixth satellite of the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program, was launched atop a Long March 4B carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in North China's Shanxi province and later placed in a Sun-synchronous orbit 628 kilometers above the Earth.
Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology and Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, the CBERS-4A carries three optical apparatus－a Chinese panchromatic, multispectral imager and Brazil's multispectral camera as well as wide-field imager－and is tasked with producing remote sensing data to serve a wide range of public services in the two countries including land resources survey, environmental inspection, climate change research, disaster prevention and agricultural forecasts
