China Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application
Chinese resources-satellite data and application centre cited by CEOS as lead agency for HJ-2A and by WMO OSCAR as HJ-2A data distributor.
China Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application (CRESDA) is a Chinese government institution dedicated to the acquisition, processing, and distribution of resources-satellite data. CRESDA operates under dual supervision: policy oversight from the National Development and Reform Commission and SASTIND, while CASC handles administrative management, a structure typical of Chinese space institutions.[1][2] The center is the lead data distributor for the HJ-2A environmental and disaster monitoring satellite, a role confirmed by both the CEOS Mission Inventory and WMO OSCAR.[2][3]
