The invention discloses a space target characteristic measuring and reconnaissance method for micro-
nano satellite group approaching reconnaissance. The method comprises a task 
preparation stage and a task execution stage, the task 
preparation stage comprises the following steps: taking space target characteristic measurement as a target, combining the maneuvering capability and the load detection capability of a micro-
nano satellite, decomposing a working task target and capability requirements of a single 
satellite, and constructing a 
satellite group based on the working task target and the capability requirements; the task execution stage comprises migration maneuvering, approaching reconnaissance and the like. According to the invention, an inter-
satellite intelligent, cooperative and autonomous working mode demonstration is established, the method can be popularized and applied to the fields using formation / satellite group / 
constellation, such as on-
orbit maintenance, space-based communication and 
earth remote sensing, and the 
modes and methods of measurement, control and working of space satellites in the future are greatly changed; space target characteristic measurement is carried out through star group approaching reconnaissance, a task execution 
work flow is given and serves as a novel 
data source of target characteristics, in-
orbit view angle target characteristic information urgently needed by space application can be provided, the blank of target characteristic 
information acquisition in related fields is filled in time, and the target characteristic 
information acquisition efficiency is improved. And the capability of entering the space and utilizing the space is greatly improved.
