BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- China plans to launch more than 100 observation satellites before 2020.

The Ministry of Science and Technology says a large surveillance network will be set up to monitor water reserves, forests, farmland, urban development and various events.

The project's main goal is to make it possible to obtain data on any event at any time from space.

China regularly sends research satellites into orbit and in October last year it became the third nation to successfully put a man in space.

Last month, the retrievable chamber of China's 20th recoverable satellite returned to Earth with a bang, crashing through the roof of a house.

And in August, China launched a satellite that carried out land and mapping surveys for several days before returning to Earth.
