China SCI Starimage applies for patents related to high-orbit orbit-changing methods to improve system autonomy, eliminate reliance on ground support, and enhance mission capabilities.

March 21 News, the information from the National Intellectual Property Office shows that China Science Star Map Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd. has applied for a patent titled “A Self-Organized Continuous Small Thrust High-Orbit Target Maneuvering and Approaching Method, System, Equipment, and Medium.” The application publication number is CN121671908A, the application number is CN202610108203.5, the publication date is March 17, 2026, and the application date is January 27, 2026. The inventors include Li Yajie, Xu Kaikai, Cheng Zhiyu, Li Chuangang, and Jiang He. The patent agency is Hefei Changyuan Patent Agency (General Partnership), with patent agent Huang Yahou. The classification code is B64G1/24.

The patent abstract discloses that the invention provides a self-organized continuous small thrust high-orbit target maneuvering and approaching method, system, equipment, and medium. The method includes: obtaining real-time orbital parameters of the service and target satellites, judging the approach type; the onboard computer automatically activates the onboard autonomous decision-making mode, adjusting the constraints of the electric propulsion system; based on the approach type and the adjusted constraints, constructing a multi-dimensional optimization model, and solving for the optimal maneuver strategy with dynamic weight allocation; executing the maneuver strategy, with the service satellite carrying out the maneuvering approach task. The invention enhances system autonomy through onboard autonomous task planning modules and autonomous decision-trigger mechanisms. The system can switch to autonomous mode to perform approach type judgment, multi-constraint strategy solving, and execution, eliminating reliance on real-time ground control. It overcomes high-orbit communication delays, meets emergency observation and in-orbit disposal needs for rapid response, and improves the system’s independent survival and mission completion capabilities in complex space environments.
