Abstract: The present technology relates to an artificial satellite and a control method thereof that enable to ensure quality of a captured image while suppressing battery consumption. An artificial satellite includes: an imaging device configured to perform imaging of a predetermined region on the ground; and a management unit configured to change accuracy of attitude control in accordance with a remaining battery amount at an instructed imaging time, and configured to change an imaging condition in accordance with accuracy of the attitude control. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an artificial satellite or the like that performs satellite remote sensing by formation flight.

Abstract: An information processing device calculates a communication available period for communication between a satellite station and an earth station on the basis of orbit information regarding the satellite station and location information regarding the earth station, and performs reservation processing for reserving a communication reservation period for the communication between the satellite station and the earth station, among reservation target periods selected from the communication available period.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing method and a data structure of metadata that allow for image processing on a plurality of captured images obtained by operation of a formation flight. A satellite cluster management device and an image analysis server as image processing apparatuses perform predetermined image processing on the basis of satellite specification information for specifying an artificial satellite associated as metadata with a captured image captured by the artificial satellite. The present technology can be applied to, for example, artificial satellites that perform satellite remote sensing by a formation flight.

Abstract: Provided is a system for a satellite business proprietor that facilitates acquisition of information regarding a retrieved ground station. An information processing device according to the present technology includes a user interface section that performs a process of presenting a specification page for specifying a search condition with respect to a channel of a downlink and an uplink between a satellite station and a ground station, a process of presenting a search result page that presents a list of ground stations retrieved as a result of a search based on a condition entered on the specification page, the search result page allowing a ground station to be specified and entered, and a process of presenting a communication plan page that displays a communication plan employing one or more ground stations specified on the search result page.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging method of a satellite system and a transmission device that enable to perform imaging of an artificial satellite in accordance with an event having occurred on the ground, in remote sensing by the artificial satellite. The satellite system includes: the transmission device installed on the earth; and the artificial satellite having an imaging device. The transmission device transmits an imaging instruction to the artificial satellite passing in the sky, in accordance with a predetermined event detected by a sensor installed on the earth, and the artificial satellite performs imaging of an event occurrence region on the basis of the imaging instruction. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an artificial satellite or the like that performs satellite remote sensing.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an image management method and a data structure of metadata that allow for management of an image captured by an artificial satellite. A management device that manages a captured image captured by a satellite adds metadata that includes at least information regarding a person related to the captured image to the captured image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, artificial satellites that perform satellite remote sensing by a formation flight.
