Current Status and Main Application Achievements of Ocean Satellites
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Ocean satellites have realized multi-satellite networked operation. The HY-1D satellite launched in June 2020 realized networked with HY-1C satellite, and completed the construction of ocean color satellite constellation. The HY-2D satellite launched in May 2021 is networked with the on orbit HY-2B and HY-2C satellites to complete the construction of marine dynamic environment satellite constellation. The 1mC-SAR satellite 01 launched in November 2021 is networked with GF-3, which initially forms the marine monitoring satellite constellation. This year, the networking of 1mC-SAR satellite 02 with satellite 01 and GF-3 is realized, and the construction of marine monitoring satellite constellation is completed. At present, the ocean satellites have the operational application capabilities of remote sensing investigation, monitoring, evaluation and supervision of marine ecology, marine disaster prevention and reduction, global oceans and Polar Regions, Sea Islands, rights and interests maintenance.
