The agreement was signed under India`s BRICS presidency, he said. | Photo: Reuters According to China`s National Space Administration (CNSA), such an agreement ”would allow cooperation between BRICS space agencies to build a `virtual constellation of remote sensing satellites` as a data exchange mechanism consisting of existing satellites provided by BRICS space agencies. The satellites provided will be CBERS-4 (jointly from Brazil and China), Kanopus-V-type (from Russia), Resourcesat-2 and -2A (from India) and GF-6 and ZY-3/02 (from China) and ground stations in Cuiaba in Brazil, Moscow region in Russia, Shadnagar-Hyderabad in India, Sanya in China and Hartebeesthoek in South Africa will receive data from the said satellites. Under India`s BRICS presidency, the heads of the BRICS space agencies met on September 18. August 2021 in the presence of Mr. Sanjay Bhattacharyya, Secretary (CPV & OIA) and Sherpa of the BRICS of India, the Ministry of External Affairs, the Government of India and other officials of the respective Ministries of Foreign Affairs/Foreign Affairs. The agreement allows BRICS space agencies to jointly build a ”virtual constellation of remote sensing satellites” that serves as a data exchange mechanism. This remote sensing data sharing mechanism will help BRICS space agencies address common challenges such as climate change, disasters and environmental protection, the government added. Remote sensing is a relatively new concept for many, but the technology aims to improve our daily lives in a variety of ways. Here are some of the ways remote sensors help us: Breathe clean air: Data from remote sensing satellites can be used to issue alerts to people affected by poor air quality. Not only that, but policymakers can effectively use data to regulate air pollutants and guide decision-makers in this regard. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) have signed an agreement to cooperate in the exchange of remote sensing satellite data, according to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
ISRO President and Secretary at the Ministry of Space, K. Sivan, Administrator of the China National Space Administration, Zhang Kejian, Chairman and CEO of the South African National Space Agency, Valanathan Munsami, Chairman of the Brazilian Space Agency Carlos Augusto Teixeira de Moura and Director General of the Russian state space company Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, signed the agreement. The agreement will enable the establishment of a network of remote sensing satellites and ground stations to be launched and operated by the five national space agencies. India has signed a contract with China, Russia, Brazil and South Africa to establish a constellation of remote sensing satellites launched and operated by the space agencies of the five countries to share data with each other for disaster and natural resource management. one block from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) — BRICS space agencies on Wednesday signed a cooperation agreement on the exchange of remote sensing satellite data, according to China`s National Space Administration. As a leading space player on the continent, SANSA has a responsibility to address socio-economic and environmental challenges in the region. This is enshrined in our national policy and is reflected in SANSA`s vision. Therefore, SANSA will use satellite data obtained under the BRICS partnership for the benefit of Africa.
Participating satellites include Russia`s China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite-4 (CBERS-4), Russia`s Kanopus-V Earth observation satellites and India`s ResourceSat-2 remote sensing satellite. China`s GaoFen-1 (GF-1) series Earth observation satellites will also participate in the network. Participating ground stations include Cuiaba in Brazil, Shadnagar-Hyderabad in India, Sany in China, Hartebeesthoek in South Africa and Moscow in Russia. Tropical storms: Natural hazards such as hurricanes, landslides, tsunamis have a huge impact as they cause damage to life and property. Therefore, remote sensing satellites come into play because they can provide data to accurately predict unforeseen challenges, and this information can be used to give the public the opportunity to prepare for these powerful and potentially deadly storms. The heads of the space agencies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa [BRICS] signed an agreement on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 on the exchange of remote sensing satellite data. ==External links== The pact signed in August allows the construction of a virtual constellation of specified remote sensing satellites of the BRICS space agencies and their respective ground stations will receive the data, ISRO said. .
