The demand for high resolution satellite images is increasing but, the charge imposed by commercial companies and agencies prohibit researchers in underfunded research institutes to obtain the this precious data.
China launched many remote sensing (RS) satellites and proved to be able to compete other well established worldwide space agencies to cover its need of these type of data.
However, until now it is not clear how to access the Chinese RS data platforms to download needed data.
hello sir,i think in my experience of downloading sattelite imagery copernicuse open hub is the best platform for sentinel images as high resolution ones
There are few platforms to download Chinese satellite data. One is https://www.cresda.com/zgzywxyyzx/index.html. Another is CNSA-GEO. You may try them. I downloaded GAOFEN data from CNSA-GEO in 2020. It was free of cost, and the spatial resolution was excellent. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Dear Shivani, thank you for your contribution. The information is very helpful.
I try to click on link but it give error 404. can you help me ?
Dear Naveed
You can use the following Web address https://www.cresda.com/zgzywxyyzx
It will take you to a Chinese Web site where you can change it to English language. It is China Center for Resources satellite data and application. You can find there some sample data from different chinese satellites (Right down bottom)
Sample data only - when you try to go to data centre you get this error:
"Your access behavior has been determined to be abnormal and is temporarily blocked. If the determination is wrong, please contact 010-58937060 to unblock it; if abnormal access continues, it will be permanently blocked."
I agree with Dr. Steven J Shirtliffe that there are samples only and you cannot access the database of the images. I guess access is given to the database if scientific cooperation is signed with the Chinese Center.
