BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have conducted a glacier inventory survey in northwest China, using their independently developed airborne ice radar technology, the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has announced.

The satellite data receiving station network, composed of these five stations, boasts 38 large-diameter data receiving antennas and over 10 high-speed optical fiber data transmission links, leading the world in scale and technical specifications, according to the Aerospace Information Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A research team led by ZHANG Ze from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a groundbreaking Hyper-sampling Imaging (HSI) technology that dramatically enhances the image quality and resolution of the digital imaging system. The advancement, detailed in the journal Laser & Photonics Reviews​ on November 11, 2024, overcomes the long-standing technical limits of conventional image sensor manufacturing, opening new frontiers in imaging technology.

BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- China launched an open cloud platform on Friday to provide the public with a series of aerospace information application services, including remote-sensing data. The GEOVIS Cloud Open Platform is expected to support fields such as smart agriculture, environmental protection, urban planning, traffic monitoring and natural disaster warning.

The distribution and dynamic changes in the surface temperature on Earth are closely related to human social and economic activities, industrial production conditions, and landforms. the "Atlas of SDGSAT-1 Satellite Thermal Infrared Image" includes 10 different types of land cover landscapes from 118 different global regions. It showcases the thermal characteristics of typical natural landforms and artificial structures, which is crucial for understanding surface energy balance, climate change, land cover and land use changes, urban heat island effects, agricultural monitoring, and natural disaster assessment.
