From HandWiki

HaiYang (Chinese: 海洋; "ocean"), abbreviated HY, is a series of marine remote sensing satellites developed and operated by China since 2002. (As of June 2020), six satellites were launched and two more are planned.[1][2]

The HaiYang series is operated by NSOAS (National Satellite Ocean Application Service), a subordinate agency of the State Oceanic Administration.
