This paper analyzes the disadvantages of the current remote sensing satellite systems, and describes the concept of the latest generation “intelligent remote sensing satellite system” and its main characteristics which mainly includes: (1) the adaptive remote sensor system; (2) the onboard real-time data processing system; and also introduces the key scientifi c issues and the key technologies involved. This paper presents the design of an intelligent hyperspectral satellite payload system with adaptive imaging and application mode optimization capacity, which consists of three parts: (1) a fore-fi eld pre-judgment sensor for regional background information acquisition; (2) a main sensor for detailed surface observations; (3) an onboard real-time data processing and analysis subsystem. It also introduces the working principles and processes of intelligent hyperspectral satellite, and calls for the research on some frontier scientifi c theories and key technologies related to the intelligent remote sensing satellite system in an early stage to realize the leap-forward development in the fi eld of remote sensing satellite in China.
