FENGYUN 4A is a Chinese geostationary weather satellite, designed for at least a five-year mission, to provide uninterrupted views of storm systems across Asia. The satellite is the first member of China's Fengyun 4-series weather platforms with more advanced instruments, improved pointing capability and a longer lifetime than the country's previous geostationary weather satellites. FENGYUN 4A is carrying out an hyper-spectral vertical atmospheric sounding payload, which could conduct a high-precision observation of the atmosphere over China and its neighborhood.
