Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental satellites provide valuable data for the environment, the economy, and human life, and meteorological satellites have played an important role in global climate, environment and weather, especially in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate monitoring fields. Satellite data applications have increasing requirements for data timeliness, continuity and quality. The health status of the satellite platform and instruments on board is critical to the robust operational operation of satellite ground segments. The quality of the satellite science data, especially sensor data record products, is also the prerequisite for remote sensing applications. To meet the application requirements and ensure reliable satellite data products operationally, satellite agencies and researchers have been working on methodologies based on satellite data analysis and modeling and implementing them into the practice of satellite monitoring operation and maintenance as an important part of the satellite data ground processing system. This Special Issue is focused on recent advances and efforts in in-orbit monitoring, analysis and diagnosis of satellite health status, instrument performance, and satellite science data quality, including the methods, techniques, and systems, with a special interest in meteorological satellites.

Abstract: In some geographically difficult areas (such as deserts, seas, and forests) where direct connectivity to a terrestrial network is difficult, space communication is the only option. In these remote locations, Internet of Space Things (IoST) applications can also be used successfully. In this paper, the proposed payload for IoST applications demonstrates how an Automatic Identification System (AIS) and a fire detection system can be used effectively. A space mission based on efficient and low-cost communication can use a constellation of nanosatellites to better meet this need. These two applications, which use a constellation of nanosatellites, can provide relevant university-level data in several countries as an effective policy for the transfer of space technology in an educational initiative project. To increase educational participation and interest in space technology, this paper is sharing lessons learned from the project feasibility study based on an in-depth design of a nanosatellite with several analyses (Data budget, link budget, power budget, and lifetime estimation).
