With the rapid advancements in China's aerospace technology, the volume of data generated by satellite detection is growing exponentially. Chinese scientists have developed a laser communication ground system to transmit this massive amount of data. Click to learn more.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed the first-ever 10-meter resolution maps of harvested winter wheat areas across China’s top-producing regions from 2018 to 2022. The study published in the Scientific Data​on September 27, used satellite remote sensing and advanced machine learning algorithms to highlight a significant discrepancy between planted and harvested areas. The research revealed that about 13% of planted winter wheat is lost before harvest due to meteorological factors such as dry-hot winds and waterlogging.

The 2024 Big Earth Data report, released at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), sets a new standard for using advanced technologies in promoting sustainable development and offers key resource for the global community, said the project's leader.

The Lijiang station, part of China's Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station (RSGS), officially commenced operations on September 27, 2024. The station, operated by the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), fills a critical gap by providing real-time satellite data reception in Southwest China.

The Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences officially launched an advanced BeiDou Navigation and High-Resolution Remote Sensing Comprehensive Service Platform on September 21 during the inaugural Aerospace Information Technology Conference in Jinan, Shandong Province.

The Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently launched the "RingMo" Version 3.0, a remote sensing interpretation foundation model with over 10 billion parameters. This cutting-edge model marks a significant advancement in automated, high-precision analysis of remote sensing data and is expected to make waves in the sectors such as emergency response, land management, marine monitoring, and urban development.
