1. A method of recovering communication transmission function of an aerospace vehicle, comprising:

  • receiving, by a remote control center, a request of recovering the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle being in operation and not on a ground, wherein the request comprising positioning information of the aerospace vehicle;

    sending, by the remote control center, an instruction to an unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV), wherein the UAV is in air, and is configured to function as an electromagnetic wave transmission relay station for recovering the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle, and wherein the instruction comprises the positioning information of the aerospace vehicle;

    tracking, by the UAV, the aerospace vehicle according to the instruction; and

    establishing a two-way communication between the remote control center and the aerospace vehicle via the UAV as the electromagnetic wave transmission relay station, and recovering the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle,wherein the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle is recovered using the UAV as the electromagnetic wave transmission relay station by;

    receiving, by the UAV as the electromagnetic wave transmission relay station from the aerospace vehicle, information indicating frequency signal attenuation or fading occurred at the aerospace vehicle;

    sending, by the UAV as the electromagnetic wave transmission relay station, the information indicating frequency signal attenuation or fading occurred at the aerospace vehicle to the remote control center;

    examining and analyzing, at the remote control center, the frequency signal attenuation or fading occurred at the flying manned aircraft based on the information;

    sending, by the remote control center to the UAV, a signal for recovery of the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle; and

    sending, by the UAV, the signal to the aerospace vehicle to trigger a self-recovery process of the communication transmission function of the aerospace vehicle.
