The distributed system for acquisition, processing and dissemination of responsive space data from space vehicles (AQUA, SUOMI NPP, NOAA 20, MetOp, Fengyun-3) allows the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of Earth remote sensing data from meteorological satellites, providing Earth remote sensing data to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus, the "Republican Center for Hydrometeorology, Control of Radioactive Contamination and Environmental Monitoring" State Institution and other consumers.
This system was created within the framework of the "High-tech and Engineering" for 2016-2020 State Program and within the subprogram 7 for "Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes", "Creation of a distributed system for acquisition, processing and dissemination of responsive space data from space vehicles ("AQUA", "SUOMI NPP", "NOAA 20", "MetOp", "Fengyun-3")" action item.
The system performs:
- Primary processing of received data;
- Generation and storage of basic information resources and descriptive information;
- Automatic detection of thermal anomalies and determination of their parameters for the territory of the Republic of Belarus and the border area of adjacent states. The output results are given in the form of thermal anomalies displayed on a digital map of the area, are transmitted to the relevant divisions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus within 15 minutes after the end of the reception session and are published on the Internet at meteoeye.gis.by/hotspots;
- Users provisioning with tools for searching, visualizing and accessing basic information resources based on a geoportal solution in the Internet environment at meteoeye.gis.by;
- calculation and consistent monitoring of the NDVI value throughout the territory of Belarus as well as forecasting the yield of grain crops based on this value.

Data application fields:
-Disasters detection and monitoring;
-Crop yield forecasting;
-Vegetation mapping;
-Meteorological forecasts.

The system has no analogues or alternatives in the Republic of Belarus in terms of its goals, tasks to be solved and technical implementation.
An analogue is the "Planeta" ground-based system for receiving and processing satellite information of the hydrometeorological service of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Center for Space Hydrometeorology" (FSBI "RC Planeta"), which includes three regional centers: the European Center (FSBI "RC Planeta", Moscow - with branches in the cities of Obninsk and Dolgoprudny), the Siberian Center (branch of the FSBI "RC Planeta", Novosibirsk) and the Far Eastern Center (branch of the FSBI "RC Planeta", Khabarovsk).

«Geoinformation systems» Scientific and Engineering Enterprise was created in 1996 by Resolution of the Bureau of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus dated June 27, 1996, No. 62: «On the creation of self-sustained scientific and engineering centers of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus».
The enterprise began to work in 1996 within the framework of the “Minimization and Overcoming of the Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster” and “Emergency Situations” for 1996-2000 State Scientific and Technical Programs. The enterprise took part in the Union State program known as “Development and Use of Space Facilities and Technologies for Receiving, Processing, and Displaying Space Information” (“Cosmos-BR”) (1999-2003).
The enterprise was designated as the National Operator of the Belarusian Space System for Earth Remote Sensing (hereinafter referred to as BSSERS) with the purpose of operating the BSSERS and Belarusian satellite, as well as interacting with organizations involved in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes.
The Space Information Reception Center was established in 2006. The "National Program for Studying and Use of the Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes for 2008-2012" was approved by No. 1517 Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated 14.10.2008, which includes the "Development of the Belarusian Space System for Remote Sensing of the Earth" subprogram. Within the framework of this subprogram, the enterprise created the infrastructure and basic technologies of the Belarusian Space System for Earth Remote Sensing, ensuring the functioning and operation of the BKA satellite, meeting the needs of users for services and data on Earth remote sensing, both from the BKA and from prospective foreign satellites. The Belarusian satellite was successfully launched on July 22, 2012.
The enterprise has been a member of the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters since 2019.
The enterprise, as the lead organization, participated in the implementation of tasks and activities of the "Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes" subprogram 7 of the "High-tech and Technology" for 2016-2020 state program and is currently participating as the lead organization in the implementation of tasks and activities of the "Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes" subprogram 6 of the "High-tech and Technology" for 2021-2025 state program.
