Definition
- China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RSGS), founded according to the Sino-American Scientific-Technical Co-operation Memorandum signed by Mr. Deng Xiaoping and President Carter during Mr. Deng's visit to U.S.A., was inaugurated and put into operation in December 1986. Mr. Deng Xiaoping brushed the Station's Chinese name for the station. Main missions of the Station are to receive, process, archive and distribute earth-resources data from various remote-sensing satellites, and also to make scientific researches regarding satellite remote-sensing data receiving, processing and the relevant various techniques and methods. China RSGS can receive and process remotely sensed data covering 80% - 95% land of the Country and is the major supplier of civil resources-satellite remotely sensed data in the Country for the time-being. Now there are 650,000 scenes of diversified earth observation satellite data scenes archived, of which there are 40,000 scenes of microwave remote-sensing data, and the amount of data exceeds 120 TB, with about 10 TB increase annually. More than 2,000 services from users are requested and provided annually. After a series of complicated processing, the acquired earth-resources remote-sensing data is offered to users on various media.
