A relative perfect space technological stereo-system for earth observation has been established in China. Through more than ten years’ efforts

the 3 Scientific Technological Experiment Satellite and meteorological satellite FY-1 have been successfully launched. Their ground receiving station of the remote sensing satellites have been also founded and hundreds of image processing systems purchased. Nevertheless

the lack of coverage all over the country and real time satellite information sources still remains as a problem since the urgent needs at present are to survey the dynamic changes of water and land resources; to timely monitor and forecast the heavy natural disasters; to meet the requests of urban planning and regional development; and to carry out international exchange and cooperation to a national extent. The author appeals for taking national remote sensing causes as a systemmatic information project to fully explore the potentialities of Chinese scientists and technicians and existing instruments

to form an operational system capable of match processing

to perform further improvements to the two application systems both of space-borne and aerial-borne

and finally to make remote sensing information service network shaped. Meanwhile

the basic studies of transmission and mechanism on remote sensing information should be strengthened to improve the utilizing efficiency.
