On October 28, at the 15th Asia-Oceania Meteorological Satellite Users' Conference (AOMSUC-15) and 2025 FENGYUN (FY)  Satellite User Conference (2025 FYSUC), the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) released the first set of images from the FY-3H. Currently, 6 out of the 9 remote sensing instruments onboard FY-3H have been activated and are in in-orbit testing.

The first set of images have been acquired based on the observational data from some of its already-activated payloads onboard. Building on its capability for multi-element atmospheric remote sensing detection, including temperature, humidity, clouds, FY-3H will simultaneously acquire remote sensing information on global greenhouse gases, auroras, and others.

It is reported that FY-3H will enter its trial operation in July 2026, delivering global data services.
