The International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP), a major global science initiative, was formally launched with the signing of new cooperation agreements on June 12 during the Second Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange. Five prominent international institutions joined the effort, signing agreements with the National Space Science Center (NSSC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the program’s lead institute.
China's national space weather monitoring network, the Meridian Project, passed national acceptance procedures for Phase II on March 21, making it the world's largest comprehensive space environment monitoring network alongside Phase I. Construction of the second phase began in 2019, adding 16 stations, 58 observation points and 195 sets of space weather equipment.
