Space Cooperation To Be Enhanced by New BRICS Joint Committee

Space cooperation will soon be enhanced by the new joint committee created by BRICS members; Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. 

Brazil's President Michel Temer, Russia's President Vladimir Putin, China's President Xi Jinping, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi pose for a group photo during the BRICS Summit at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Center in Xiamen in southeastern China's Fujian Province on September 4, 2017.

This new joint committee was already hinted at in 2021 after BRICS members signed an agreement on the Cooperation on BRICS Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation. 

BRICS countries, as well as other interested space agencies, can now work together when it comes to data sharing fields and remote sensing satellite observations. 

Zhang Kejia, the China National Space Administration Head, said that China leads this space cooperation enhancement effort. During the recent virtual meeting, Kejian announced that they would guide the new joint committee when it comes to using the BRICS Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation. 

According to Financial Express' latest report, BRICS' Joint Committee on Space Cooperation will allow the five-member countries to enhance climate change solutions, environment protection efforts, as well as disaster prevention and mitigation. 

The sat formation is specifically made by state-owned satellites, such as Gaofen-6 and Ziyuan III 02 (China), Kanopus-V type (Russia), Resourcesat-2 and 2A (India), and CBERS-4 (China and Brazil).  

Aside from leading the new BRICS joint committee, CGTN reported that China is also busy exploring outer space and achieving major space breakthroughs.
