CBERS-2B was a 1,450-kilogram (3,200-pound) 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, which provided 1100 watts of electricity for the satellite's systems.
The satellite operated until June 2010. Sample images from CBERS-2B were made available on January 10, 2007. [8] CBERS-2B is similar to the two previous members of the series, but a new camera was added to this last satellite: High Resolution Panchromatic Camera (HRC).
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
Several Ziyuan satellites are operated jointly with Brazil's National Institute for Space Research under the China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program. Ziyuan satellites are based on the Phoenix-Eye-1 or Phoenix-Eye-2 satellite buses - the Phoenix-Eye-1 is used for CBERS missions while the Phoenix-Eye-2 is used for the remaining ...

CBERS-4 was initially scheduled to be launched in 2015, however after the loss of CBERS-3 at launch in December 2013, China and Brazil agreed to accelerate the production of CBERS-4 by 1 year. [6] The satellite will restore the Brazilian government's ability to observe its own territory following a 4.5-year gap caused by the failure of CBERS-2B ...
In September 2023, it achieved a 14-Mbps data stream on the BW3 satellite. A year later, in September 2024, the company launched five additional satellites, BlueBird 1 through 5.
