Chinese Aeronautic Remote Sensing System Boosts Black Soil Conservation in Northeast China

From April 26 to May 4, 2023, a black soil observation experiment integrated satellite-aircraft-ground measurement was completed at the Youyi Farm in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province. The region is regarded as a major granary for the nation. Chinese Aeronautic Remote Sensing System (CARSS), a national major research infrastructure hosted by the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is designated to undertake tasks such as regional multi-source remote sensing data acquisition and the transmission verification of satellite-aircraft-ground measurement in the test area.
