Detailed Description
In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the drawings in the present application are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Additionally, it should be understood that the schematic drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. The flowcharts used in this application illustrate operations implemented according to some embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the operations of the flow diagrams may be performed out of order, and steps without logical context may be performed in reverse order or simultaneously.

In order to avoid the situation that the mission is unsuccessful due to the situation change during the time delay of planning-execution in the background technology, a mission planning system is carried on a satellite to carry out autonomous planning, and judgment and adjustment can be carried out to a certain extent according to information such as the real-time state of the satellite, the state of a ground cloud layer and the like. However, the task planning is performed autonomously on the satellite, which has a certain randomness, mainly caused by some state factors, such as the energy condition on the satellite at the task execution time, the cloud coverage of the target location at the access time, and the like, and the final execution result needs to be fed back to the ground until the next satellite passes through the ground station, and the ground can perform further arrangement and planning after receiving information, for example, the satellite is arranged to continue to image the target or other satellites are called to image the target or cancel the imaging of the target when the satellite next meets the condition. The existence of the execution-feedback time delay is caused, the satellite user cannot adjust the planning strategy and the resource allocation in time, so that the target cannot be covered with higher efficiency, and the utilization rate of the satellite or the constellation is reduced. Furthermore, the problem of execution-feedback time delay is solved to a certain extent by adding a special command tower communication satellite as a relay node, but if the relay node is placed in a near-earth orbit, the real-time performance is difficult to guarantee, if the relay node is placed in a geosynchronous orbit, the deployment cost is extremely high, the communication link loss is large, and once the node fails, the whole planning function of the system is lost. Based on the method and the system, the real-time feedback of the task execution result is realized by utilizing the communication link between the satellites, and on the basis, the satellite resources are adjusted in real time through the quick response of the ground task planning system, so that the efficient utilization of the satellites and the quick coverage of the imaging target are realized.
As shown in fig. 1 in the specification, the embodiment provides a real-time feedback remote sensing satellite mission planning method, which includes the following steps:
s1, planning a first satellite action sequence based on attribute information of an observation target, satellite operation data and ground weather information by the ground station, and annotating the first satellite action sequence to a target remote sensing satellite;
s2, sequentially executing a target imaging task matched with the first satellite action sequence by the target remote sensing satellite according to the first satellite action sequence injected on the ground station, and generating an execution result of the target imaging task;
s3, the target remote sensing satellite sends the execution result of the target imaging task to a ground station in real time through an inter-satellite link;
s4, the ground station plans a second satellite action sequence according to the received execution result of the target imaging task, and notes the second satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite in real time through an inter-satellite link, so that the target remote sensing satellite sequentially executes the target imaging task matched with the second satellite action sequence.
The remote sensing satellite is used as an artificial satellite of an outer space remote sensing platform, the satellite orbit can be determined according to requirements, the satellite can cover the whole earth or any specified area within a specified time, and when the satellite runs along a geosynchronous orbit, the satellite can continuously remotely sense a specified region on the earth surface. The remote sensing satellite mainly comprises three types, namely a meteorological satellite, a land satellite and a marine satellite, wherein the meteorological satellite mainly uses the remote sensing satellite for collecting meteorological data as a main task and provides a large amount of real-time data for meteorological forecasting, typhoon formation and motion process monitoring, ice and snow coverage monitoring, atmospheric and space physical research and the like, the land satellite mainly collects earth resources and environment information, and the marine satellite mainly collects marine resources and environment information. In the application, the target remote sensing satellite can be regarded as a satellite for imaging a target according to user requirements.
In step S1, as shown in fig. 2, the ground station plans a first satellite action sequence based on the attribute information of the observation target and the satellite operation data, and includes the following steps:
s101, acquiring attribute information of an observation target by a ground station according to an observation requirement provided by a user, wherein the attribute information of the observation target comprises a place and a time period of the observation target and a priority of the observation target;
s102, a ground station acquires satellite operation data of a target remote sensing satellite in real time through an inter-satellite link, wherein the satellite operation data comprises satellite orbit data, and on-satellite energy and on-satellite storage space conditions;
s103, the ground station acquires ground weather information through the Internet;
s104, the ground station plans a first satellite action sequence based on the acquired attribute information of the observation target, the satellite operation data and the ground weather information so as to complete the observation requirement of the user.
As mentioned above, the task of the target sensor satellite in this application is to obtain image information of a specified target on the earth's surface according to the user's observation needs. The observation requirement of the user is transmitted to the ground station, and the ground station acquires attribute information of an observation target, such as observation location, time and priority of a plurality of observation targets, according to the observation requirement provided by the user, so as to plan a first action sequence of the target sensor satellite; of course, in addition to taking the attribute information of the observation target as the consideration factor of the first motion sequence of the target sensor satellite, the factors such as the satellite operation data and the weather information need to be considered. The satellite operation data mainly comprises satellite orbit data of a target sensor satellite, on-satellite energy conditions and on-satellite storage space conditions, namely the resource allocation of the target sensor satellite is related; the ground weather information can be directly obtained from the internet, after all, the application of the meteorological satellite is mature, and the coverage condition of the cloud layer can seriously influence the imaging effect of the specified target. In summary, in the present application, the ground station comprehensively plans the first satellite action sequence in combination with the acquired attribute information of the observation target, the satellite operation data, and the ground weather information, so as to fulfill the observation requirement of the user.
In the satellite communication system, a satellite has two communication links, one is a satellite-to-ground link, and the other is an inter-satellite link. The inter-satellite link is a link for communication between satellites, and is also called an inter-satellite link or a cross link, and a plurality of satellites are interconnected together through the inter-satellite link to form a space communication network with the satellites as switching nodes, so that information transmission and switching between the satellites can be realized through the inter-satellite link. The inter-satellite link can realize small interference and large-capacity data transmission through optical communication, and can realize real-time communication; however, for the satellite-ground link, the interference is large due to the fact that radio waves pass through the atmosphere and rain attenuation factors are added, large-capacity communication is not easy to achieve, and communication can be conducted only when the satellite passes through the upper portion of the ground station, namely the window period.
In the application, the satellite operation data of the target sensor satellite is transmitted to the ground station by the target sensor satellite through an inter-satellite link in real time, so that the ground station can master the satellite operation data of the target sensor satellite in real time, and the action sequence of the target sensor satellite is planned accurately and timely; for example, for a first satellite action sequence planned by observation requirements of users with a relatively long time limit, the ground station can adopt the satellite-ground link to inject the first satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite, namely when the target remote sensing satellite jumps above the ground station, the ground station injects the first satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite; and for the first satellite action sequence planned by the observation requirements of some users with short time limit, the ground station can adopt the inter-satellite link to inject the target remote sensing satellite in real time.
In step S2, after receiving the first satellite motion sequence annotated by the ground station, the target remote sensing satellite sequentially executes matched target imaging tasks according to the first satellite motion sequence at a specified time, where generally, each satellite motion sequence includes imaging tasks of multiple targets. And after the target remote sensing satellite executes the imaging task of the single target in the first satellite action sequence, feeding back the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task according to the actual condition.
Typically, the execution results include execution success and execution failure. If the on-satellite energy or on-satellite storage space of the target remote sensing satellite is insufficient, and the abnormal target imaging task is abnormally stopped, the target remote sensing satellite judges that the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task is execution failure; for another example, when the ground weather information shows that the coverage ratio of the cloud cover of the observation target area is large and does not meet the observation requirement of the user, the target remote sensing satellite also judges that the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task is execution failure.
In step S3, after the target remote sensing satellite generates the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task, the target remote sensing satellite sends the execution result to the ground station in real time through the inter-satellite link, so that the ground station replans the satellite action sequence, and especially, for the target imaging task which fails to be executed, the observation requirement of the user should be completed as much as possible. As shown in the attached figure 3 of the specification, the target remote sensing satellite sends the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task to the ground station in real time through the inter-satellite link, and the method comprises the following steps:
s301, the target remote sensing satellite sends the execution result of the target imaging task to a relay node of an inter-satellite link in real time;
s302, the relay node of the inter-satellite link transmits the received execution result of the target imaging task to a ground station in real time.
The relay node of the inter-satellite link is only responsible for forwarding the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task, and does not perform related processing and further plan the satellite action sequence.
In step S4, the ground station further plans a second satellite action sequence after receiving the execution result of the corresponding target imaging task sent by the target remote sensing satellite. In planning the second satellite motion sequence, in addition to the satellite operation data and the ground weather information mentioned in the above step S1, the corresponding target imaging task that failed to be performed in the first satellite motion sequence should be considered. The influence of the satellite operation data and the ground weather information on the planning of the second satellite action sequence is the same as the influence on the second satellite action sequence, and is not repeated herein; only analyzing the influence of the corresponding target imaging task which is executed in a failure manner in the first satellite action sequence on the second satellite action sequence, typically, as shown in fig. 5 in the specification, for the corresponding target imaging task which is executed successfully, the ground station does not take care of the target remote sensing satellite, and the target remote sensing satellite continues to advance the task without other construction; and for the imaging task of the corresponding target which fails to be executed, for example, the ground station plans the target remote sensing satellite to continue imaging when passing above the target next time, adds other imaging targets, plans other remote sensing satellites to image the target, and cancels subsequent imaging.
After the ground station generates the second satellite action sequence, the ground station injects the second satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite through the inter-satellite link, so that the target remote sensing satellite sequentially executes a target imaging task matched with the second satellite action sequence, specifically, as shown in the attached figure 4 of the specification, the ground station injects the second satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite through the inter-satellite link, and the method comprises the following steps:
s401, the ground station injects the second satellite action sequence to a relay node of the inter-satellite link in real time;
s402, the relay node of the inter-satellite link injects the received second satellite action sequence to the target remote sensing satellite in real time.
And the relay node of the inter-satellite link is only responsible for forwarding the second satellite action sequence planned by the ground station and does not perform related processing.
In addition, the relay node of the inter-satellite link mentioned in the present application may be any other remote sensing satellite having an inter-satellite communication function, which belongs to the same satellite constellation as the target remote sensing satellite, or may be other communication constellations or satellites not belonging to the present constellation, such as a relay satellite including but not limited to a short message function of the beidou constellation and a satellite communication relay function of an international maritime satellite.
According to the remote sensing satellite task planning method with real-time feedback, the remote sensing satellite realizes real-time feedback of a task execution result by means of an inter-satellite link, and the ground station receives the feedback of the task execution result of the remote sensing satellite, quickly completes re-planning of the task, and then re-configures and optimizes the remote sensing satellite or constellation resources.
Compared with the mode that the remote sensing satellite and the ground station communicate through the satellite-ground link in the prior art, although a certain probability of task execution failure exists at any time when the ground station injects a satellite action sequence to the remote sensing satellite, the ground station can timely acquire the result of success or failure of corresponding execution by virtue of real-time feedback of the inter-satellite link, and then timely correction and adjustment are carried out, including but not limited to updating, adjustment and deletion of the original action sequence, so that the maximization of the system operation efficiency is realized. Compared with the mode of carrying a task planning system on a remote sensing satellite for autonomous planning in the prior art, the method and the system thoroughly avoid execution-feedback time delay, and a user of the remote sensing satellite can adjust planning strategies and resource allocation in time, so that the target is covered more efficiently, and the utilization rate of the satellite or the constellation is improved. Compared with the mode of adding the commander tower in the prior art, the method and the system have the advantages that the information is transparently forwarded by means of the satellite or other satellites in the constellation, the complexity and the deployment cost of the system are reduced to a great extent, the medium-low orbit communication satellites are mostly in network-shaped layout, the loss of the real-time task planning function of the system due to the failure of a single satellite or a single node is avoided, and the communication between the remote sensing satellite and the ground station has stable reliability.
