The first satellite of the series, CBERS-1, was successfully launched on 14 October 1999 [2] on a Long March 4B. In China, it is sometimes also called ZY 1. [3] It remained functional until August 2003. [4] The second satellite, CBERS-2, was successfully launched on October 21, 2003 [5] [6] by a Long March 4B rocket from China.
CBERS-4 is a 1,980-kilogram (4,370 lb) spacecraft based on the Phoenix-Eye 1 satellite bus. [1] It was developed by the China Academy of Space Technology, in partnership with Brazil, at a cost of US$125 million for each party.
China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite 3 (CBERS-3), also known as Ziyuan I-03 or Ziyuan 1D, was a remote sensing satellite intended for operation as part of the China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program between the Chinese Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application and Brazilian National Institute for Space Research.

The satellite was successfully placed into a Sun-synchronous orbit. [7] Following the launch of CBERS-2B in 2007, CBERS-2 was retired from service. [2] As of 1 December 2013, the dericict satellite remains in orbit, with a perigee of 780 km (480 mi), an apogee of 782 km (486 mi), 98.17 degrees inclination and a period of 100.33
The first CBERS satellite to fly, it was launched by China in 1999. [3] CBERS-1 was a 1,450 kg (3,200 lb) spacecraft built by the China Academy of Space Technology and based on the Phoenix-Eye 1 satellite bus. [1] The spacecraft was powered by a single solar array, providing 1,100 watts of electricity for the satellite's systems.
