China has launched a satellite monitoring system for its ecological environment, according to the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST).

It is also a satellite set of gross ecosystem product, which indicates the total value that an ecosystem contributes to human well-being and sustainable economic and social development.

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

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation developed a series of resource and ecology monitoring satellites to serve China's ecological construction.
