China National Space Administration (CNSA) administrator Sun Laiyan signed the contract last week at ESA headquarters in Paris.
Welcoming China to the group, ESA director general Jean-Jacques Dordain stated "The International Charter 'Space and Major Disasters' has shown to be an extremely successful mechanism for international cooperation among partners for contributing Earth observation data."
The contract has been triggered more than 125 times, most lately in response to this month's floods in Uruguay.
