The heads and representatives of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) space agencies held the first joint committee meeting on space cooperation in a video call, as announced by the China National Space Administration on Wednesday.

"The first meeting of the BRICS Joint Committee on Space Cooperation was successfully held on the evening of May 25 in the format of a video conference, which marked the official creation of the BRICS Joint Committee on Space Cooperation, which opens a new chapter in cooperation on joint observations and data exchange of the BRICS remote sensing satellite constellation," the Chinese space agency said in a statement.

It is expected that the joint committee will help BRICS countries employ remote sensing satellite constellation for national development in order to enhance cooperation between the space agencies of the respective countries, particularly regarding environmental protection, disaster prevention and mitigation, and climate change response, according to Zhang Kejian, the head of the agency.

In 2021, BRICS countries signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of constellation of Earth observation satellites, which consists of six satellites: Two Chinese, two Indian, one Russian, and one joint-development between China and Brazil.
