To serve the 29th Olympiad in Beijing, China is planning to send at least two further weather satellites into space before 2008, Yang said.

"Satellites in the pipeline include a FY-2D geo-stationary satellite, to be launched in 2006, and a FY-3A polar orbiting meteorological satellite that will hopefully be blasted into space in 2007," he said.
