The invention provides an on-
orbit calibration device and on-
orbit calibration method for pointing precision of a remote sensor. The device includes a calibration
processing module, a filter component, and an imaging component, wherein the filter component is mounted on the imaging component to filter out the light sources outside the range of a calibration
source spectrum, and only enable a calibration
light source passing through the
optical path system of the remote sensor to be calibrated to pass through; the imaging area of the imaging component includes a calibration area and an imagingarea, the calibration area is located at the edge of the imaging area, the surface of the calibration area is installed with the filter component, and the calibration area receives an optical
signal of the calibration
light source passing through the filter component, converts the optical
signal into an electrical
signal, and outputs the electrical signal to the calibration
processing module; theimaging area receives the optical signal of an observation target, converts the optical signal of the observation target into an electrical signal, and outputs the electrical signal to an external digital transmission subsystem; and the calibration
processing module determines the position coordinate of the calibration
light source on the imaging component according to the electrical signal of thecalibration light source, and completes the on-
orbit calibration of the pointing accuracy of the remote sensor. The on-orbit calibration device and on-orbit calibration method for pointing precisionof the remote sensor have the advantages of compact structure, convenient installation and high reliability.
