The CBERS program symbolizes a major step in Earth observation technology, highlighting cooperation between Brazil and China. With launches spanning from CBERS-2 in 2003 to CBERS-7, these remote sensing satellites provide critical data for monitoring agriculture, deforestation, and land use in Africa. This collaborative initiative includes infrastructure development, capacity building, and free access to satellite imagery for African nations, promoting sustainable management of resources and environmental monitoring.

CBERS2-B for Africa • Brasil and China agreed to grant a no-access fee of CBERS2-B to African countries. • South Africa and Spain will use their ground stations to receive, process and distribute CBERS data. • GEO offer GEOportal (web) and GEONETcast to reach the end user. • A coordinated effort in infrastructure Capacity Building for Earth Observations
CBERS program as a infrastructure capacity building • Ingestion system cost US$400K • Who pays? • Satellite owners? • Ground stations? • EO Donnors?
