Satellite Monitoring

Abstract

The article explores satellite monitoring. This technology is one of the space research technologies. The difference between space monitoring and satellite monitoring is shown. Two implementations of satellite monitoring are described. The systematics of satellite monitoring is given. The influence of Earth sciences on the development of satellite monitoring is described. The importance of the concept of the information field and information space on the concept of satellite monitoring is noted. The key concepts of satellite monitoring are described. The content of satellite monitoring is revealed through key concepts. The monitoring field, monitoring situation, monitoring methods, monitoring result models are described. The value of the information situation model for satellite monitoring is revealed. The difference between the information situation and the monitoring field is shown. Methods and models of monitoring are described. Object monitoring and process monitoring are described. The difference between active and passive satellite monitoring is shown. The difference between indicator and analytical monitoring is shown. Detective and interpretive monitoring is described. Prospective satellite monitoring is described, which, based on time series, makes it possible to make forecasts. It is shown that, unlike space monitoring, in which angular measurements predominate, satellite monitoring makes it possible to obtain the linear dimensions of objects. In relation to space monitoring, satellite monitoring is internal. Satellite monitoring is applicable in the study of other planets. In this case, it should be called orbital monitoring.
