Developed by the Fifth Academy of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Beijing-3C constellation is a fleet of high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites.
These satellites capture detailed images of Earth, offering valuable data for various applications. Once operational, the four satellites will work together in a synchronized network, providing crucial support in areas like land and resource management, agricultural surveys, environmental monitoring and comprehensive urban planning.
