China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station (RSGS) was established and put into operation in 1986.
RSGS is not only a major national science and technology infrastructure but also a member of international ground stations group on Earth Observation. As one of the world's busiest ground stations, RSGS has received, processed and archived more than 77 satellites data since 1986.
With ground stations built in Miyun, Kashi, Sanya, Lijiang and Mohe, RSGS's data reception mask covers the entire Chinese territory and 70% of the land area of Asia. Global satellite remote sensing data can also be accessed efficiently.
