According to the news, China is planning to launch the global carbon dioxide observatory satellite into space in 2016. Recently, all satellite payloads have finished the samples development.

CO2-observatory satellite aims to establish ground-based data processing and verification system, make monitoring precision be better than 4ppm, and become feasible to monitoring carbon dioxide of world, China and other major regions.

The satellite development program has five systems including satellite system, carrier rocket system, launching site system, measurement and control system, and the ground-based application system.

"National Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC) of CMA will take charge of ground-based application system development of this satellite based on ground-based system of FY-3 meteorological satellite. Within this year, the internal testing of ground-based system, data receiving and processing of ground-based accepting stations, data verification, new data application will be carried out. " Zhangpeng, deputy director of NSMC said.

China to launch first high-resolution commercial remote sensing satellite in 2016
China is going to launch its first high-resolution commercial remote sensing satellite next year and will establish a high-resolution commercial remote sensing satellites system around the year 2022, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation(CASC) Thursday.

Sixteen 0.5-meter-resolution optical satellites, four high-end optical satellites, four microwave and hyperspectral satellites and several micro satellites, will make up the system. Xu Wen, director of Application Center from CASA, explained the difference between the updated satellites and the old ones.

"Take a car for an example. We can only see the shape of the car with 1-meter resolution satellite we used before, but see the whole car and the shape of widows with current 0.5-meter-resolution. It's a great leap," said Xu.

"Make another example. It takes us two days to get information from earthquake stricken area before but one to two hours now. This change helps a lot in emergency relief," Xu added.
