China launched its ecological environment satellite monitoring system, Xinhua cited the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) on Wednesday.

The system is also a satellite constellation of gross ecosystem product (GEP), which refers to the total value contributed by the ecosystem to human welfare and sustainable economic and social development.

The new system provides a variety of spatial basic data such as ecological classification, water conservation, atmospheric monitoring and carbon sink monitoring, to meet the demand for remote sensing data.

The CASC has developed a series of satellites for resource and ecological monitoring to serve China’s ecological construction.
