description: 'FengYun (FengYun = wind and cloud) is a meteorological satellite series of China, organized by CMA (China Meteorological Administration). Within the meteorological program, the odd-numbered satellites (FengYun-1 or simply FY-1) refer to the polar-orbiting LEO series, while the even-numbered S/C (FY-2, FY-4, etc.) refer to the GEO series.'
