Sustainable Development Science Satellite 1 is the world's first scientific satellite dedicated to serving the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The satellite was specially developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences "Earth Big Data Science Project". It is also the first international scientific research institution in the world to serve the United Nations 2030 Agenda with big data, the International Research Center for Big Data for Sustainable Development, which was established in Beijing in September this year.

The Sustainable Development Science Satellite No. 1 is equipped with three payloads of thermal infrared, low light level and multi-spectral imagers. Through the three payloads, the coordinated observation is carried out around the clock, aiming to achieve the fine description of the "traces of human activities", which will represent Research on indicators of the interaction between man and nature and provide data support for monitoring, evaluation and scientific research on the realization of the global sustainable development goals.

After the satellite is in orbit, its data products will be shared globally to provide the international community, especially developing countries, with the data support needed to carry out sustainable development goals research, and to reduce the imbalance of global sustainable development and regional inter-regional development. Set an example and contribute to the digital divide.
