摘要：The Satellite Constellation for Environment and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting is a new generation of in-building remote sensing constellation. Just as the name, the new constellation was especially designed for the environment and disaster monitoring and forecasting. And the constellation is also shortly named as Resource Satellites. The Satellites of The Satellite Constellation for Environment and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting started to launch continuously since 2006. Recent years launched several of the Resource Satellites, played important roll in Environment and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting. By now, this satellite works well, and high-quality remote sensing data are acquired and transmitted to the ground steadily. The Resource Satellites, with wide-swath and short revisit-period character, is more suitable for the disaster emergency applications. Since the satellite launched, the Resource Satellites had been widely used for the monitoring and assessment of the disaster, such as blizzard, floods and earthquake. Based on a series of the Resource Satellites applications in the past months, the RADAR has been turned out to be more suitable for the wide-region disaster monitoring and assessment, such as earthquake. In this paper, the characteristics and working-condition of constellation and instruments would be introduced in brief firstly. In the second part, based on the study on the application capability evaluation and the technological route, the Resource Satellites data were applied for the disaster monitoring and assessment of the blizzard in GUANGDONG ，the FLOODS in FUJIAN and the Earthquake in SICHUAN. Finally, the application capability of the Resource Satellites is evaluated in detail. And a technical application method, for blizzard monitoring, risk forecasting and disaster assessment, are established, which would contribute to expanding the application benefit of the satellite constellatio
