Massive throughput of the micro-focus plane: The imaging scale of the camera is 100 million pixels, which makes a single area scan photo enough to shock people. At the same time, the large amount of data generated by the high frame rate staring of the large area array can also be processed and cached on the micro-focus plane weighing only a few hundred grams, which greatly reduces the data transmission and storage pressure between the satellite platform and the camera.
The space gimbal is not afraid of shaking: the telephoto lens cannot tolerate a little shaking, otherwise the photo will be blurred. And if you want to watch the earth clearly in space, you cannot do without high stability. The intelligent remote sensing satellite 01 satellite camera united with the satellite platform to carry out collaborative vibration isolation, systematically dismantling and exploring the vibration characteristics of various imaging modes, breaking through efficient vibration source attenuation and transmission suppression methods, and creating a quiet and stable high-resolution observation environment.

Support autonomous mission planning on the satellite: users only need to send information such as the latitude and longitude of the target point and data transmission window to the satellite, and the satellite can independently complete tasks such as imaging mission planning, image acquisition, on-orbit processing, and image downloading.
Support APP software on-orbit fast injection: the satellite has designed a high-speed injection channel specially for APP on-orbit injection, supports APP installation, operation, uninstallation, update and other operations on-orbit, and can continuously expand the satellite’s service by enriching the space-borne APP Image information service capabilities.
Based on the above functional design, the cooperation between the satellite and the ground system can build an information intelligent service link from the satellite to the ground terminal according to the needs of users, and then realize the goal of providing real-time/near real-time remote sensing information services for mobile terminals (mobile phones) of various users . In the future, on the basis of the in-orbit verification of the intelligent remote sensing satellite 01, Aerospace Dongfanghong will further expand the user market, form a constellation of intelligent satellites, and make remote sensing services truly accessible to the public.
[The 19kg-heavy Tianzhi-2 D star has a computing power of up to 40 trillion times per second] Tianzhi-2 D star (Rizhao No. 3 satellite, Figure 1-3) is the 01 star of the software-defined shared constellation. The software-defined micro-satellite developed by Hangsheng Satellite and the Software Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is dedicated to the on-orbit verification and shared application of key technologies of software-defined optical remote sensing satellites.

“The advantage of ‘joint control and joint use’ is that it not only reduces the complexity of interface design, but also improves the utilization rate of storage and computing resources.” Zhao Junsuo said, “Tianzhi II” D star has a small size and large energy, which can be improved during design. Requirements, adopting a compact structure, while ensuring high space-borne computing power and achieving meter-level ground resolution, the body is only 19 kg.
“Tianzhi 2” D star adopts Tianzhi software stack with open system architecture in software design. According to Zhao Junsuo, similar to the “Android” concept in the mobile phone system, it has a good openness and is equipped with a special integrated platform for development, operation and maintenance, which can be quickly iterated and continuously evolved, thereby continuously improving the intelligence level of satellites in orbit.
This system greatly reduces the “threshold” for satellite applications to be uploaded to space for testing: satellite applications only need to be uploaded to the system, and the satellite attitude can be automatically adjusted according to the shooting task, and the image data can be processed in real time on-orbit using artificial intelligence technology , automatically select the ground station and establish a connection to download the ground at the first time. Therefore, the difficulty of ground missions on the D star of “Tianzhi II” will be greatly reduced, and the timeliness of information will also be greatly improved.
According to reports, after the “Tianzhi-2” D star enters orbit, it will carry out a new generation of intelligent satellite architecture and space-based intelligent software stack verification tests in orbit for the first time to evaluate the in-orbit application efficiency of multi-party algorithms and models.
