Due to the limitations of the orbital altitude, technological level, observation platform stability and design life of artificial satellites, spaceborne Earth observation platforms cannot quickly obtain global data. The Moon-based Earth observation (MEO) platform has unique advantages, including a wide observation range, short revisit period, large viewing angle and spatial resolution; thus, it provides a new observation method for quickly obtaining global Earth observation data. At present, the MEO platform has not yet entered the actual development stage, and the relevant parameters of the microwave sensors have not been determined. In this work, to explore whether a microwave radiometer is suitable for the MEO platform, the land surface temperature (LST) distribution at different times is estimated and the design parameters of the Moon-based microwave radiometer (MBMR) are analyzed based on the LST retrieval. Results show that the antenna aperture size of a Moon-based microwave radiometer is suitable for 120 m, and the bands include 18.7, 23.8, 36.5 and 89.0 GHz, each with horizontal and vertical polarization. Moreover, the optimal value of other parameters, such as the half-power beam width, spatial resolution, integration time of the radiometer system, temperature sensitivity, scan angle and antenna pattern simulations are also determined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12244110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]],"date-time":"2020-12-16T09:21:15Z","timestamp":1608110475000},"page":"4110","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Parametric Design of a Microwave Radiometer for Land Surface Temperature Retrieval from Moon-Based Earth Observation Platform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5813-9644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linan","family":"Yuan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5915-2661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingjuan","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Corradini, S., Silvestri, M., Musacchio, M., Caltabiano, T., Prestifilippo, M., Guerrieri, L., Stelitano, D., Merucci, L., Salerno, G., and Scollo, S.
