Quantum remote sensing, combining quantum mechanics and remote sensing technology, uses sources in quantum level to realize remote sensing. It will improve the resolution and security of the remote sensing process benefiting from quantum properties. In this work, we focus on how to communicate securely in the process of quantum remote sensing, i.e. quantum remote sensing communication. Since both the quantum remote sensing and quantum communication use quantum states for quantum information processing, we set up a natural link between them and apply the quantum secure direct communication in remote sensing, proposing the first quantum remote sensing secure direct communication protocol.
