[0002] Due to the characteristics of high cost and non-maintainability of spaceborne remote sensing instruments, they usually need to be analyzed and demonstrated first during design, and then field tests, aerial calibration flights, or even launch test satellites for verification. Among them, the field aerial calibration flight test is an essential verification process, which is time-consuming and costly.

[0003] The design verification of common ground remote sensing instruments is to verify the correctness of the design through field tests. However, during field tests, it is also limited by weather conditions, because environmental parameters such as outdoor air conditions, air pressure, temperature, and humidity are difficult to accurately normalize, which greatly reduces the verification effect.
