CBERS Program, in a first moment, considered two remote sensing satellites only, namely CBERS-1
and -2. The success of both launches, by the Chinese Long March 4B, and the perfect behavior of
CBERS-1 and CBERS-2 had immediate effects. Indeed, both governments decided to expand the
cooperation and include new satellites of the same class, CBERS-2B and CBERS-3 and 4, as a
second stage of Sino Brazilian cooperation.
