[edit] Abstract

China has launched two satellites in the Zi Yuan programme through to October 2001. The first was the CBERS satellite, developed jointly with Brazil and the second was a domestic satellite which is reportedly being used for reconnaissance work. The orbital behaviour of the two satellites has been completely different and is reviewed in this paper.
