The collected data resources have been used for both free and commercial usage to serve more than 300,000 users, inducing significant social and economic benefits, according to a recent report on China's Earth observation data resources development.
The report was jointly drafted by the national Earth observation data center and the National Science and Technology Infrastructure, both run by the AIR.
