China designated April 24 as Space Day in 2016 to mark the anniversary of the country's first satellite launch, Dongfanghong-1 in 1970. Since then, China has achieved multiple milestones in space.
With the development of China's space industry, more and more satellites, the "eyes in the sky", have been launched to monitor the changes of our planet, contributing to human benefits in many fields such as land and resources survey, environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture and forestry monitoring.
