A system-level analysis model for lunar calibration of multispectral payload on remote sensing satellites

Abstract

Remote sensing satellites are playing an increasingly important role in earth resource exploration, and the radiometric calibration on orbit of satellite has an important impact for retrieving information of earth resources from remote sensing images of a satellite. This paper presents an system-level analysis model for lunar calibration suitable for multispectral payload of remote sensing satellites. Through simulation and calculation analysis, the results show that this method can obtain the payload imaging parameters which are required for lunar calibration missions, ensure the quality of remote sensing images and the accuracy of radiation calibration, and provide reliable data for retrieving information of earth resources.
