[email protected] Abstract. The one belt and one road initiative, an international tourism island construction and the sustainable development of the Hainan province in China, requires the global Earth observation information obtained via satellite remote sensing. However, the unique geographical location of the Hainan province and its cloudy and rainy climate causes several challenges for the acquisition of high-quality satellite remote sensing images. To address this issue, the proposed Hainan satellite constellation is aimed at building a remote sensing satellite system equipped with optical, hyperspectral, and radar payloads as well as a payload for ship automatic identification system, considering specific business requirements. The application will focus on ship detection and islands and marine environment observations.
