"These aspects may not be directly noticeable in our daily lives, but they are indispensable for the smooth functioning of society and our livelihoods," Tang said.
Equipped with remote sensing satellites carrying different payloads, these satellites can be used for various purposes such as resource exploration, urban planning, environmental monitoring, disaster mitigation, and space exploration.
"Before 1986, scientists who needed to use remote sensing satellite data had to purchase it at a high cost from countries such as the United States," Tang noted. "But now, China's satellite ground station receiving technology has full independent intellectual property rights."
