Method and system for satellite observation of Earth

摘要

The method involves calculating a rotation of a photographic camera during its displacement from an observed area so that the camera is constantly oriented towards minimum glaring areas (ZU.1-ZU.4) due to solar light reflection. An observation direction of the camera is oriented perpendicularly with respect to an observed earth surface`s plane, when a sun-synchronous satellite is placed above a pole. The camera is inclined with respect to the plane to adopt an oblique observation direction at an equator and is turned in an inverse direction to find if the camera is along another direction. An independent claim is also included for an earth observation system comprising a photographic camera.
