## Editorial
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.[^globalsecurity-cresda][^ceos-hj2a] 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.[^ceos-hj2a][^wmo-hj2a]
