In order to solve the problem of small imaging width and long revisiting time of low orbit SAR,China developed the No.4 land exploration satellite 01,which is a scientific satellite in the medium and long term development plan of national civil space infrastructure(2015-2025),and is the world's first geosynchronous SAR satellite.Using the advantages of the geosynchronous orbit,the revisiting time of the same place can be reduced from the day level of low orbit satellite to the hour level,and the width can be increased from the hundred-kilometer level of low orbit satellite to the thousand-kilometer level,which can provide strong support for the effective implementation of disaster emergency response.For the new system of geosynchronous SAR microwave imaging,a series of key technologies are developed,such as microwave imaging for geosynchronous SAR,ultra-large power space-borne microwave transmission,ultra-large aperture space-borne antenna,large-flexibility and high-precision attitude stability control,intense pulse high-quality large power supply,integrated efficient thermal management for payload and platform,and integrated satellite-ground high-precision orbit determination.The satellite has the capability of quick revisit,large width,all-day and all-weather observation.The overall design of the satellite is introduced,and the technical innovation is summarized.Through the evaluation of the preliminary test results for the satellite in orbit,the geosynchronous SAR images have clear texture and good quality,which can meet the requirements of disaster prevention and reduction,land resource exploration and other tasks.
Aiming at the higher electromagnetic compatibility control requirements of GEO SAR satellite, this paper studies the analysis and verification technology of the electromagnetic radiation influence produced by the electronic equipment on SAR payload during the development of equipment and subsystems. A hierarchical electromagnetic compatibility analysis method is proposed to reduce the difficulty of electromagnetic compatibility analysis of complex satellite system with multi feeds and multi beam positions of SAR Antenna. Based on the reciprocity theorem of electromagnetic field, the RE102 test results of electronic equipment are directly applied to the electromagnetic compatibility analysis. The multi frequency interference verification method is adopted to solve the problem that the traditional frequency sweep test method cannot characterize the coexistence of multi frequency interferences in the actual electromagnetic environment. A verification system based on SAR imaging index is designed, which improves the evaluation accuracy compared with the method based on telemetry parameter judgment. The research content of this paper is of certain significance to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of GEO SAR satellite system.
With the development of reflector antennas in the direction of large-aperture, high-frequency, high-gain, etc., research on electromechanical integration has become a focused area. However, a critical problem in electromechanical integration: electromagnetic analysis calculations are gradually increasing, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of electromechanical integration design. Consequently, it is necessary to study electromagnetic fast approximate calculation methods. While ignoring the influence of structural deformation on the aperture field amplitude term, this article first introduces the structural deformation in the form of phase error into the radiation integral formula of the physical optics method to calculate the far-field electrical properties. Then the additional phase term caused by structural deformation is expanded by Taylor series, and finally the calculation formula is organized into matrix form. This paper takes a large-scale satellite-borne deployable antenna as the research object, two typical moments when the antenna is orbiting on the vernal equinox are selected for simulation calculation, and satisfactory results are received, which verifies the correctness of the method.
The membrane surface is a new type of reflective surface that has emerged in recent years, which is an important part of the deployable antenna. The characteristic of membrane is that it can’t bear bending moment and shear force, but can only bear tensile force. At present, there are three numerical analysis methods for membrane form-finding analysis: force density method, dynamic relaxation method and nonlinear finite element method, but the accuracy and convergence of those methods are all affected by the discrete grid structure. Based on this, this paper uses a new element-free Galerkin numerical method to analyze the mechanical properties of the membrane and the shape optimization of the structure. First, the membrane surface adopts the orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system of the shell to discretize the solution domain into a series of field nodes, and the moving least square method is used to approximately construct the displacement function of any point in the curved surface of the membrane reflecting surface. Then, based on the basic equation of the membrane distance theory, the discrete system equation is obtained from the weak form of the energy functional, and the penalty function method is introduced to impose essential boundary conditions. Finally, a numerical example is used to analyze the reflective surface of a membrane with a certain diameter. The results show that by using the mesh-less method are in good agreement with the results of the distraction using the finite element ANSYS software. At the same time, the mesh-free program for analyzing the reflective surface of the membrane written by MATLAB software is universal, and it can analyze the deformation of any rotating parabolic membrane.
Most existing learning-based single image super-resolution (SISR) methods mainly focus on improving reconstruction accuracy, but they always generate overly smoothed results that fail to match the visual perception. Although perceptual quality can be greatly improved via introducing adversarial loss, image fidelity may decrease to some extent. Moreover, most methods are trained and evaluated on simulated datasets and their performance would drop significantly on real remote sensing imagery. To solve the above problems, we propose a new SISR algorithm named gradient enhanced dual regression network (GEDRN). Based on the dual regression framework, we use share-source residual structure and non-local operation to learn abundant low-frequency information and long-distance spatial correlations. Besides, we not only introduce additional gradient information to avoid blurry results but also apply gradient loss and perceptual loss to further improve the perceptual quality. Our GEDRN is trained and tested on real-world multi-sensor satellite images. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in achieving much better perceptual quality and ensuring high fidelity.

Despite the promising performance on benchmark datasets that deep convolutional neural networks have exhibited in single image super-resolution (SISR), there are two underlying limitations to existing methods. First, current supervised learning-based SISR methods for remote sensing satellite imagery do not use paired real sensor data, instead operating on simulated high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) image-pairs (typically HR images with their bicubic-degraded LR counterparts), which often yield poor performance on real-world LR images. Second, SISR is an ill-posed problem, and the super-resolved image from discriminatively trained networks with lp norm loss is an average of the infinite possible HR images, thus, always has low perceptual quality. Though this issue can be mitigated by generative adversarial network (GAN), it is still hard to search in the whole solution-space and find the best solution. In this paper, we focus on real-world application and introduce a new multisensor dataset for real-world remote sensing satellite imagery super-resolution. In addition, we propose a novel conditional GAN scheme for SISR task which can further reduce the solution-space. Therefore, the super-resolved images have not only high fidelity, but high perceptual quality as well. Extensive experiments demonstrate that networks trained on the introduced dataset can obtain better performances than those trained on simulated data. Additionally, the proposed conditional GAN scheme can achieve better perceptual quality while obtaining comparable fidelity over the state-of-the-art methods.
Shape memory cable net structure using the servo type driven of shape memory alloy (SMA) to achieve the orbit adjustment of surface precision of cable net structure. However, the SMA has to experience the long-term cyclic thermal load in space, which will produce the thermal ratcheting effect and reduce the adjusting ability of SMA. Therefore, this paper takes the SMA in shape memory cable net structure working in the bad environment of the space as the research object. The experimental study was carried out for the thermal ratcheting effect of SMA wire in the range of different pretensions and different temperatures. The results show that the cumulative evolution of residual martensite has important influence on the attenuation of tension force of wire and temperature evolution of austenite transformation and martensite transformation.
A new prompt 2-D attitude steering approach for zero Doppler centroid of GEOsynchronous SAR (GEOSAR) is proposed. Large yaw angle of GEOSAR in traditional 2-D yaw steering condition can be solved by this method. It is suited to the large satellite such as GEOSAR. The GEOSAR can achieve broadside imaging when this method is applied. Compared to the traditional attitude steering approach, the steering angle and time are just 1/10 of it, and the developing difficulty of GEOSAR becomes lower through this new method. This approach is propitious to GEOSAR. When it is employed to SAR satellites with different altitudes, the residual Doppler centroid is accurate zero in all the conditions. Besides, an attitude selection reference standard is illustrated for different altitude orbital satellites.
Signal bandwidth and integration time are two significant parameters of a geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor. They directly determine the resolution characteristic of SAR imagery. Because their contributions to the ground impulse response width (IRW) curve (consists of -3-dB resolutions in every direction) are severely coupled, an analytical extraction method of the ground IRW curve is studied to analyze the coupling characteristic. Due to the coupling, the IRW curve is generally spatially variant and, thus, can degrade the quality of SAR imagery. To minimize the variation, the two parameters are optimized. However, the optimized signal bandwidth is found to be satellite position varied, which complicates the system design. To solve this problem, a parameter optimization model is built to obtain one optimal signal bandwidth as well as to decrease the variation.

This is an important reference for the high precision SAR imaging and data processing.
Compared with LEO SAR, the orbital altitude of GEO SAR is higher and the orbital eccentricity is larger, so the spatial decorrelation model of traditional LEO repeat pass InSAR can not be applicable for the GEO repeat pass InSAR. Considering the special problems of GEO repeat pass InSAR, a spatial decorrelation model is established which is applicable for the GEO repeat pass InSAR and the expressions of spatial decorrelation coefficient and the critical baseline are derived. Finally, the critical baseline in GEO repeat pass InSAR is simulated when J2 perturbation is considered.
SAR interferometry processing technology has developed for a few decades, and it is widely used in many geoscience applications. Nevertheless, conventional SAR interferometry processing methods do not suit for space-borne spotlight SAR interferometry processing. Based on co-registration with Doppler centroid frequency estimation and joint phase unwrapping method, a novel space-borne spotlight SAR interferometry processing method is proposed. It is validated by TerraSAR-X spotlight SAR data. Compared with SRTM data, the results show a clear improvement in DEM construction.
