If the satellites in the sky are like "eyes", then the ground station is like the "brain", sending "commands" to the satellites and receiving data sent back by the satellites, thus achieving a "seamless" connection between the satellites and the ground.
On August 19, the launch ceremony of the East China Ground Station of "Tiansuan Constellation" and the Computer Science Development Forum jointly hosted by Yantai University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications were held at Yantai University. This means that the satellite "brain" built by Yantai University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in Yantai has officially been put into use.
"Tiansuan Constellation" East China Ground Station unveiled
On August 19, the launch ceremony of the East China ground station of "Tiansuan Constellation" jointly sponsored by Yantai University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications was held. Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Zhang Yaoxue of Tsinghua University, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Jiang Changjun of Tongji University, Professor Wang Xingwei, Vice President of Northeastern University, Professor Cheng Xiuzhen, Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Shandong University, Professor Wang Shangguang, the initiator and chief scientist of "Tiansuan Constellation" and Dean of the School of Computer Science of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Professor Zhai Jidong of Tsinghua University, Professor Zou Lei of Peking University, Professor Chen Quan of Shanghai Jiaotong University and other well-known experts and scholars attended the ceremony to discuss the frontier development direction of my country's computer discipline. Su Sen, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and Hao Shuguang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Yantai University, attended the launch ceremony and delivered speeches.
At the meeting, Su Sen and Hao Shuguang jointly unveiled the "Tiansuan Constellation" East China Ground Station. Professor Wang Shangguang introduced the relevant situation of the ground station. The participants watched the promotional video of the "Tiansuan Constellation" East China Ground Station together.
The "Tiansuan Constellation" East China Ground Station is located on the roof of the Yantai University Comprehensive Building. It is equipped with a 3.7-meter X-band antenna. As an open micro-satellite measurement and control platform, it can realize real-time measurement and control and data transmission of medium and low orbit satellites.
The East China ground station of the "Tiansuan Constellation" can receive data from medium and low orbit remote sensing satellites and has a satellite remote sensing related technology platform. It will carry out multidisciplinary, cross-domain and cross-regional satellite computing application technology innovation research, including dynamic on-demand satellite service deployment strategies, multi-time and space scale inter-satellite load balancing mechanisms, and intelligent satellite-ground resource joint scheduling methods. And the realization of a satellite edge computing resource scheduling prototype system.
"Satellites are like eyes, and ground stations are like brains"
"If the satellites in the sky are like 'eyes', then the ground stations are like 'brains'." Wang Yingjie, vice dean of the School of Computer and Control Engineering at Yantai University, said that the ground stations are a major national scientific and technological infrastructure and an important part of the satellite communication system. Their basic function is to transmit measurement and control signals to satellites and receive data sent back by satellites, providing solid support for achieving "seamless" docking between satellites and the ground.
"Yantai has a superior geographical location. Building a ground station here can radiate the entire Northeast Asia." Wang Shangguang said, "This is the first ground station of the 'Tiansuan Constellation'. Ground stations will be built in other universities in the future."
It is reported that the "Tiansuan Constellation" is an open and open-source space computing in-orbit test platform initiated by Professor Wang Shangguang's team of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and jointly built by many domestic universities, research institutes, China Mobile, Huawei and other units. In April 2022, Yantai University became one of the first member units of the "Tiansuan Constellation" and co-built the "Tiansuan Constellation" satellite joint debugging platform with Professor Wang Shangguang's team. In January 2023, the first "Tiansuan Constellation" main satellite developed by Yantai University was launched into space. In order to promote the progress of space science and technology, Yantai University has undertaken the task of building the East China ground station of the "Tiansuan Constellation".
Relying on the "Tiansuan Constellation" ground station, Yantai University has promoted the development of a number of cutting-edge technology projects such as offshore oil spill monitoring, offshore intelligent gaming, and multi-space group intelligence perception. These projects demonstrate Yantai University's technological advantages in related fields and provide innovative solutions for smart oceans and smart cities.
Promote technological breakthroughs and application innovation in multiple fields
"The joint construction of the East China Ground Station of the 'Tiansuan Constellation' by Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Yantai University is not only a deepening of the cooperative relationship between the two sides, but also an important exploration and contribution to scientific research in the field of satellite technology." Su Sen said that the launch of the East China Ground Station is an important milestone in the development of the "Tiansuan Constellation" project. It not only provides solid data transmission and processing support for constellation satellites, but also builds a new platform for both parties to conduct space science research and promote interdisciplinary studies. Through this platform, both parties can more efficiently collect, process and analyze data from space, and promote technological breakthroughs and application innovations in multiple fields such as satellite Internet, satellite computing, smart ocean, and remote sensing. It is hoped that the East China Ground Station of the "Tiansuan Constellation" will become a leader in innovation in the field of satellite technology, a cradle for talent training, and a model of open cooperation between the two schools.
As one of the first members of the "Tiansuan Constellation" alliance, Yantai University's "multi-space group intelligence perception task allocation technology" is used as one of the core technologies in the development of the "Beiyou No. 1" satellite. "Now the East China ground station of the 'Tiansuan Constellation' jointly built by Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Yantai University has been officially released, and Yantai University has become one of the few universities in China that has a satellite measurement and control ground station." Hao Shuguang said that the school will face national needs, aim at the international frontier, be based on industry-university-research-application, and adhere to open source. With the help of the "Tiansuan Constellation" East China ground station, through the intelligent, service-oriented and open design of satellites, focus on new network computing, integrated service computing, distributed intelligent computing and other directions, increase the research and development of space-ground integrated network and satellite computing technology, and work with relevant scientific research units to build an open source platform for space computing in-orbit experiments integrating industry-university-research-application, and make new and greater contributions to my country's aerospace power.
