1what was the first meteorological satellite launched by China on September 7th, 988?

1On September 7th, 988, the first meteorological satellite launched by China was Fengyun-1 A star.

Fengyun-1 is the first polar-orbiting meteorological satellite developed and launched in China, and it is also the first transmission polar-orbiting remote sensing satellite in China. This success indicates that China's space technology has reached a new level, which has improved the timeliness and accuracy of China's weather forecast and its ability to monitor disastrous weather.

Fengyun-1 is equipped with two scanning radiometers with very high resolution and five detection channels, which can detect cloud images, land surface images, ocean water color images, water boundary, ocean surface temperature, ice and snow coverage and vegetation growth during the day and night.

The main task of the satellite is to obtain domestic and international atmospheric, cloud, land and ocean data, and collect relevant data for weather forecast, climate forecast, natural disasters and global environmental monitoring.

Satellites can send real-time meteorological cloud pictures to cloud picture receiving stations all over the world, and can also detect ocean water color and conduct remote sensing research on ocean temperature; The satellite carries a space particle composition monitor, which can study the space environment.

The successful launch of Fengyun-1 is of great significance.

Although Fengyun-1 has only traveled in space for 39 days, its successful launch is of great significance. The successful launch of Fengyun-1 marks that China has entered the ranks of a few countries in the world that have the ability to independently develop, launch and operate meteorological satellites.

Judging from the development of China's space technology and meteorological technology, the successful launch of Fengyun-1 is of epoch-making significance. Fengyun-1 has adopted a number of advanced key technologies for the first time in China and has been tested. Compared with the meteorological satellites in the United States in the 1960s, its starting point is much higher.
