Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote sensing of satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a method for a small satellite constellation remote sensing system model based on the auxiliary coverage of unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique [0002] 1. Satellite remote sensing technology [0003] The combination of space technology and photoelectric detection technology gave birth to modern aerospace remote sensing technology. Since the beginning of the space age, space remote sensing technology, which uses various sensors carried by spacecraft to observe the earth to obtain all-round and all-weather geospatial information, has become one of the focuses of competition and development in the world. Because the satellite remote sensing observation platform has the characteristics of long operation time, stable flight, large amount of information obtained, and the ability to periodically repeat the earth observation ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 3. Defects of Satellite Remote Sensing Technology

[0008] 1) high cost

If small satellites can realize real-time observation of hotspots, that is, zero revisit period, many satellites will be needed, and the license cost and launch cost are relatively high, which will be a serious waste of resources.

[0009] 2) poor timeliness

The development cycle, launch cycle, and revisit cycle are all relatively long. In addition, the information transmission time interval will cause a lot of delayed transmission of remote sensing information.

[0010] 3) Poor mobility

In the event of emergencies or serious disasters (such as large-scale forest fires), when real-time monitoring of hotspot areas is required, small satellites cannot complete the dispatch in time, and cannot achieve real-time monitoring

[0011] 4) Limited by the influence of deep space environment

[0012] 5) Waste of track resources

Orbital resources are scarce. With the increasing demand of people, the number of launched satellites has increased sharply, resulting in a serious shortage of orbital resources.

[0013] 6) There are gaps in remote sensing

[0014] 4. Insufficiency of UAV remote sensing

Due to the influence of flight altitude, the monitoring range of the on-board sensors is greatly reduced for satellites

[0017] 2) Limited functionality

Sensitive areas cannot be found, and due to limited payload capacity, only simple image capture tasks can be completed
