Meteoroiogical satellites have become an ir-replaceable weather and ocean observing tool in China. These satellites are used to monitor natural disasters and improve the efficiency of many sectors of our national economy. It is impossible to ignore the space-derived data in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, and agriculture, as well as disaster monitoring in China, a large agricultural country. For this reason, China is making a sustained effort to build and enhance its meteorological observing system and application system. The first Chinese polar-orbiting weather satellite Feng-Yun (FY-1A) was launched in 1988. Since then China has launched 10 meteorological satellites, 5 (FY-1A/B/C/D and FY-3A) of which are sun synchronous and 5 of which (FY-2A/B/C/D/E) of which are geostationary satellites; China will continue its two types of meteorological satellite programs. A low-inclination orbit satellite is planned, mainly for precipitation measurements (mainly radar and passive microwave measurements).
