The Chinese government has developed GaoFen series of satellites to observe the Earth, with GaoFen-5 for air quality monitoring specially. There are four main instruments onboard GaoFen-5, Directional Polarization Camera (DPC), Environment Monitoring Instrument (EMI), Atmospheric Infrared Ultraspectral (AIUS), and Greenhouse-gases Monitoring Instrument (GMI). DPC is similar as PARASOL, which mainly measures scattering properties of aerosol and clouds with polarization. The EMI with spectrum range in 270-790 nm can obtain information of trace gases such as NO2, SO2, and O3 as OMI. At the same time, AIUS can provide vertical profiles of trace gases such as O3 with occultation observation. GMI measures information of greenhouse gases of CO2 and CH4 with shortwave infrared bands. The integrated observation of these instruments can provide a comprehensive insights into the air pollution in China. As all the instrument test and algorithms reached the end, the GaoFen-5 satellite is expected to be launched later in 2018.
