The success of communications satellites encouraged China to develop a range of applications satellites: weather forecasting in both polar and geostationary orbit (Feng Yun), Earth resources (Ziyuan, China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS), Huanjing), mapping (Tansuo, Tianhui), marine surveillance (Haiyang), and navigation (Beidou). These programs have become ever more specialized in recent years. Some may also have a military dimension (Y aogan) and they are also covered here. Minor applications programs, including micro-satellites, are also reviewed. The formal decision to establish an application program dates to the early 1980s when the Chinese government adopted a decision Applied Satellites and Satellite Application [1].
