New Horizons of Space Systems of Optical-Electronic Observation of High Resolution Earth (Part II)

This article surveys approaches to the selection of design parameters and modelling the functioning of the remote sensing satellite systems, taking into account the requirements and restrictions on customer resources. The objective of this research is to increase the efficiency of the use of space systems to solve urgent tasks of monitoring the earth’s surface. Firstly, an analysis of the requirements for space imagery materials and consumer information support was carried out, secondly, mathematical models of remote sensing equipment and onboard systems of small spacecraft were developed, and finally, a database with the technical characteristics of the onboard systems and remote sensing equipment of spacecraft, launch vehicles and ground-based reception and processing information facilities was created. As a result, software to determine main design parameters and modelling the functioning of cost-effective remote sensing satellite systems was developed.

The description of the unified platform of small spacecraft AIST-2 is presented. The platform is intended to accommodate various types of science equipment, Earth remote sensing equipment and onboard support systems. The description of the unified platform design, main onboard systems, ground control facilities, data acquisition and processing is given. The results of design studies, construction and operation of small spacecraft built on the basis of the AIST-2 unified platform are presented. The design, onboard composition, technical characteristics and results of operation of the first small spacecraft in the line – AIST-2D which it was launched on April 28, 2016 in the scope of the first launch campaign from the Vostochny Cosmodrome by the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the Volga ascent unit are described in detail. The results of design studies on the development of advanced small spacecraft based on the AIST-2 platform capable of functioning as part of the space monitoring system are described. Key words: small spacecraft, unified platform, design configuration, remote sensing of the Earth, stereoscopic image equipment, electro-rocket propulsion system.
