China News Service, Beijing, October 22 (Guo Chaokai) According to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation on the 22nd, at the 50th anniversary symposium of Fengyun Meteorological Satellites, Wu Yansheng, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, introduced, " During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the company will complete the development of 7 second-generation Fengyun meteorological service satellites, realize high and low orbit satellite service replacement, multi-satellite networking, mutual backup, and support “global monitoring, global forecasting, and global services”.
By 2035, China will realize the upgrading of the third-generation Fengyun Meteorological Satellite Comprehensive Observation System, and the comprehensive satellite observation capability, quantitative product accuracy and application service level will achieve international leadership.
2020 is the 50th anniversary of China Fengyun's meteorological satellite business.
In the past 50 years, Fengyun Satellite has entered the stage of the World Meteorological Organization and has become the center of the field of international meteorological satellites.
Half a century ago, Premier Zhou Enlai put forward a far-sighted proposal to "make our own weather satellite" and personally approved the task of developing a weather satellite in 1970.
In November 1977, at the first general plan demonstration meeting of the meteorological satellite project, the meteorological satellite project code was confirmed as the "July One" project, and China's first-generation polar-orbiting meteorological satellite was named Fengyun No. 1, and officially opened Wind and Cloud Era.
On September 7, 1988, China's first meteorological satellite Fengyun-1A was successfully launched, and it only worked for 39 days.
On May 10, 1999, the Fengyun-1 C satellite was successfully launched, realizing the perfect turn from repeated setbacks to complete success in the history of China's meteorological satellite development, and unveiling the history of China's long-life and highly reliable remote sensing satellite operation.
On December 11, 2016, China's new generation of geostationary meteorological satellite Fengyun 4A satellite was successfully launched. This is the implementer and witness of China's meteorological satellite from following and running to the leader. It was officially launched on May 1, 2018 Put into business operation.
So far, China has successfully launched 17 Fengyun series meteorological satellites, and currently 7 are in orbit, forming a comprehensive observation constellation of polar orbit and stationary. The comprehensive performance of meteorological satellites has reached the world's advanced level.
The Fengyun satellite developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Limited provides more than 100 kinds of data and products to 115 countries and regions around the world, and has become a model for serving the construction of the "Belt and Road".
With the development of Fengyun Satellite, China's weather forecast accuracy rate has increased from about 50% in the 1970s to 90% now.
In the future, China will also launch several Fengyun weather satellites.
