The China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS) program has been running since the 1980s, marking one of the longest-standing partnerships in international space cooperation. This collaboration combines the strengths of China and Brazil to deliver vital data that supports a wide range of global needs.
Voices from the Space Agency
Marco Antonio Chamon, president of the Brazilian Space Agency, says, "This partnership has the opportunity to promote something very important for the world." His words highlight how CBERS is more than a joint mission—it's a bridge for shared knowledge and innovation.
A Data Trust for the Planet
Over four decades, CBERS satellites have generated data critical for numerous fields—helping experts monitor Earth's resources, guiding decision-makers in sustainable development, and empowering innovators with actionable insights. From environmental stewardship to climate research, these images and measurements inform real-world solutions.
Fueling the Next Wave of Collaboration
Looking ahead, Brazil and China are exploring ways to deepen cooperation, expand data applications, and invite international partners to join this orbiting data network. In an era defined by global challenges, CBERS shines as a model for how shared technology can fuel progress everywhere.
