What does remote sensing satellite mean?

Remote sensing satellite is an artificial satellite used as a remote sensing platform for outer space.

Remote sensing satellite refers to a satellite that uses remote sensing technology and remote sensing equipment to observe the earth synchronously. Simply put, it is to take pictures of the earth and get relevant images. The resolution of China's remote sensing satellites has been raised to more than 0.5m, forming a powerful Earth observation system consisting of land satellites, meteorological satellites and marine satellites, which has reached the advanced level in the world in quantity and quality.

Remote sensing satellites can cover the whole earth or any designated area within a specified time. When it runs in geosynchronous orbit, it can continuously remotely sense the designated area on the earth's surface. All remote sensing satellites need a remote sensing satellite ground station, and the satellite data obtained from the remote sensing market platform can monitor agriculture, forestry, ocean, land, environmental protection and meteorology.

Remote sensing satellites can provide products and services such as satellite remote sensing high-precision maps, data processing and application software. , to better meet the unique needs of different users, widely used in mass travel, e-commerce, real estate registration and other fields. With the abundance of remote sensing satellite data, its cost is greatly reduced, and the iteration of promoting application and industrial renewal is accelerating. There are nearly 70,000 enterprises engaged in remote sensing satellite business in China, and more than 200,000 enterprises related to "spatial information" business.
