Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to data collection device technical field, concretely relates to a remote area field unattended astronomical observatory data collection system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Astronomical observation has strict requirements on the environment, among which an optical telescope requires being far away from city lights, infrared and sub-millimeter wave observation requires a high-altitude low-water-vapor environment, and a radio telescope requires being far away from radio frequency interference (including electromagnetic noise generated by broadcasting, communication, and electrical appliances) caused by human activities. This results in that most astronomical observation stations need to be built in remote areas. However, the accessibility and garrison conditions in remote areas are very poor, which makes it necessary to pay a huge price if someone is on duty, including damage to the health of the garrison personnel, transportation costs of logistics supplies, and damage to the local field environment.

[0003] If the unattended operation of a field astronomical observation station in a remote area can be realized, the above problems can be fundamentally solved. However, unattended operation will cause other problems, mainly including two aspects: 1) the daily maintenance of a field astronomical observatory strongly depends on manual inspection, and 2) the load data generated by daily astronomical observation needs to be transmitted back to a manned base.

[0004] The daily maintenance of a station depends on the return of monitoring data, including the output of various sensors and camera monitoring videos, so the daily monitoring of a station and the return of load data can actually be combined into one general problem, that is, how to transmit a large amount of field observation station maintenance and load data back to a manned base in a short time. There are several existing solutions to this problem: 1) regular / irregular inspection by non-resident personnel to replace data storage media; 2) use of a satellite data link; and 3) erection of a long-distance field optical cable or microwave data transmission link. Among them, regular / irregular inspection by non-resident personnel still depends on personnel going back and forth between a manned base and a field station, which only partially alleviates some problems of a manned field station and is not a fundamental solution. The stability and cost of a satellite data link are the main obstacles to the popularization of this method. The scheme of erecting a long-distance field or microwave data link still needs to face high costs and a long construction period. Moreover, this scheme is not suitable for all environments, such as the Antarctic, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and other regions with poor environmental carrying capacity, which cannot be implemented.
