A joint research team led by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) has conducted the first global, integrated assessment of disaster risks and human pressures affecting UNESCO World Heritage sites. The study found that 41% of these sites worldwide are exposed to significant natural hazards. Furthermore, it provides a systematic evaluation of global progress toward UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.4, which aims to strengthen the protection of cultural and natural heritage.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS), in collaboration with Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, have developed a high-resolution, daily atmospheric CO₂ dataset for China spanning 2016–2020. The dataset provides unprecedented insights into the spatiotemporal variations of column-averaged dry-air CO₂ mole fraction (XCO₂) and offers a robust data foundation for refined carbon monitoring and management.

The Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully conducted a business-oriented application experiment in satellite-to-ground laser communications with data rates exceeding 100 Gbps, achieving a peak transmission speed of 120 Gbps.
