Status and Demand Analysis of Space-based Observation of Space Environment

Space-based observation of space environment is not only an important method to understand space environment and its evolution law, but also an important way to obtain principle data source used for the operational space environment prediction to ensure the safety of human space activities. In order to promote the development of space-based observation in China, the characteristics of the current situation of domestic and foreign space-based space environment observation, as well as the operational observing abilities serving the space weather forecast are summarized at first in the paper. Then the space-based observation demand coming from space environment safety insurance operation is analyzed, and a preliminary strategy of domestic space-based observation development of space environment is studied.
