Tianjin Ren'ai University's "Ren'ai University" meteorological satellite was successfully launched into spaceRecently, the "Ren'ai College" meteorological satellite was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu. "Ren'ai College" is the first satellite launched by a private college in Tianjin. It is reported that the satellite will be mainly used for "air-space-ground integration" meteorological element detection in the future.In recent years, the School of Civil Engineering of Tianjin Ren'ai College has continued to explore and practice in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation. Meteorological satellite detection data will be integrated into the classroom and professional teaching. The research results will be applied to precipitation monitoring, water body monitoring, drought monitoring, climate change research and other related fields in the future. Li Liang, dean of the School of Civil Engineering, said that the "Ren'ai College" satellite data will be used in the teaching of courses such as hydropower planning, engineering monitoring and detection. Satellite detection data will provide support for the research direction of the college's disaster prevention and mitigation team to shift from "passive disaster reduction" to "active disaster prevention". Satellite monitoring data can improve the technical content and intelligence level of disaster prevention and control, and provide scientific decision-making for disaster prevention and mitigation more timely and accurately.With the school's own satellite, it will also play a role in promoting the school's scientific research work. Li Liang introduced that the college established an engineering disaster prevention and mitigation research team at the beginning of this year, which includes new building materials, structural safety monitoring and evaluation, lifeline engineering disaster resistance and other fields. All of them carry out scientific research around disaster prevention and mitigation, especially the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Teaching and Research Section, which has been deeply engaged in the detection and maintenance of dams based on the advantageous resources of Tianjin University. Previous research mainly focused on passive response to disasters, specifically, where the problem occurred and then studied the solution. For example, cracks appear in the structure. Is the cause of the cracks due to material drying and shrinkage or structural stress, or other reasons? After finding out the cause, targeted reinforcement and repair will be carried out. Now that we have our own satellite, we can intuitively see the relevant changes such as water level and meteorology through the data collected daily, so the research team can conduct research and prediction before problems occur, actively prevent the occurrence of related problems, and intervene in advance to reduce losses. The direction of research has changed from passive disaster prevention and mitigation to active disaster prevention and mitigation, which is an important change brought by satellites to scientific research.
