China, Brazil make progress on 7th satellite
China DailyThe CBERS-4A satellite jointly developed by the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing and Brazil's National Institute for Space Research in Sao Paulo is launched by a Chinese Long March carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province on Dec 20, 2019. The CBERS-6 is under research and development at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing and Brazil's National Institute for Space Research in Sao Paulo, and will become the seventh satellite of the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program. It is scheduled to be launched around 2028 by a Chinese Long March 2C or 2D carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in North China's Shanxi province, and will work in a sun-synchronous orbit, the administration said. Rafael Lopes Costa, a Brazilian space engineer in the CBERS-4A program, said the satellite and its predecessors have enabled his country to be more independent on remote sensing data, adding that products generated by CBERS satellites "are very important for monitoring our large national area and environmental preservation and other applications".
