Significance of manned space station

As a means of scientific research and development of space resources, space station will provide mankind with a long-term opportunity for earth observation and astronomical observation in space orbit. In terms of earth observation, space station is superior to remote sensing satellite. First of all, there are people involved in the remote sensing mission, so when there is an earthquake, tsunami or volcanic eruption on the earth, astronauts on the space station can adjust various parameters of the remote sensor in time to obtain the best observation effect.
