This application relates to the field of intelligent aerospace technology and discloses a satellite autonomy method driven by embodied intelligent agents, applicable to subsatellites belonging to an in-orbit constellation. It constructs a multi-agent framework comprising multiple autonomous intelligent agents, including at least a resource assessment agent and a resource optimization agent. In response to a resource assessment command regarding the target mission, the method acquires the subsatellite's in-orbit operating parameters. The resource assessment agent is invoked to perform resource assessment based on the in-orbit operating parameters, obtaining the mission resource assessment result, which is then fed back to the in-orbit constellation. If mission feasibility indicates that the subsatellite can execute the target mission, the method acquires a single-satellite mission plan fed back by the in-orbit constellation. The resource optimization agent is invoked to optimize resource allocation based on the single-satellite mission plan, obtaining a mission operation plan. Its beneficial effects are that it improves the intelligence level of subsatellites in remote sensing observation missions and enhances the satellite's in-orbit autonomy.
