Abstract: With the continuous development of human space exploration technology, lunar and deep space exploration has become a new battlefield and frontier of surveying and remote sensing science and technology. Driven by many types of deep space exploration tasks, surveying and mapping remote sensing technology has been developed. With various tasks of deep space exploration, this paper systematically summarizes the research status and achievements of orbital remote sensing and mapping of extraterrestrial planets, obstacle avoidance of landing navigation, patrol environment perception and visual navigation. In view of the requirements of future lunar and deep space exploration missions, the development of deep space remote sensing and mapping technology is discussed, including intelligent processing of massive global remote sensing data of extraterrestrial planets, refinement of global control network, high-resolution three-dimensional topography mapping of lunar south pole, multi-sensor-fusion based obstacle avoidance and navigation for landing and patrol.

Key words: extra terrestrial planet, deep space exploration, mapping and remote sensing, landing obstacle avoidance, patrol navigation
