小型卫星的复兴始于20世纪80年代，正在改变空间经济学。技术趋势支持了1-500公斤范围内小型卫星的发展。在过去几年中，积极参与的国家数量大幅增加。卫星星座（协同工作的卫星群）正在成为一种强大而有效的应用。在本文中，我们专注于小卫星比可以执行遥感或地球观测任务。概述了关于地球观测的小型卫星文献。调查的目的有三个：为该领域的新手提供介绍，为在该领域工作的人提供概述，为寻找地球观测具体应用文献的人提供参考。小型卫星方案按地理区域分类。涉及小型卫星工业和小型卫星系统。在应用方面，对小卫星星座进行了更详细的讨论。最后，提出了今后的发展方向。遥测技术与网格计算相结合将为小卫星星座系统的按需处理的发展提供基础设施和技术。
The small satellite renaissance began in the 1980s and is changing the economics of space. Technological trends have supported the advancement of small satellites in the 1–500 kg range. The number of countries actively participating has grown substantially during the past years. Satellite constellations (groups of satellites working in concert) are emerging as a powerful and effective application. In this paper, we focus on the small satellites than can perform remote sensing or Earth observation tasks. An overview is presented of the small satellite literature on Earth observation. The aim of the survey is threefold: an introduction for those new to the field, an overview for those working in the field and a reference for those searching for literature on a specific application for Earth observation. Small satellite programmes are classified according to the geographic regions. The small satellite industry and small satellite systems are addressed. In terms of applications, small satellite constellations are discussed in more detail. Finally, future developments are put forward. Telegeoprocessing combined with grid computing will provide the infrastructure and technologies for the development of Processing on Demand for Small Satellite Constellation systems.
