contents High-quality remote sensing (RS) image acquisition is fundamentally constrained by physical limitations. While Multi-Frame Super-Resolution (MFSR) and Pansharpening address this by exploiting complementary information, they are typically studied in isolation: MFSR lacks high-resolution (HR) structural priors for fine-grained texture recovery, whereas Pansharpening relies on upsampled low-resolution (LR) inputs and is sensitive to noise and misalignment. In this paper, we propose SatFusion, a novel and unified framework that seamlessly bridges multi-frame and multi-source RS image fusion. SatFusion extracts HR semantic features by aggregating complementary information from multiple LR multispectral frames via a Multi-Frame Image Fusion (MFIF) module, and integrates fine-grained structural details from an HR panchromatic image through a Multi-Source Image Fusion (MSIF) module with implicit pixel-level alignment. To further alleviate the lack of structural priors during multi-frame fusion, we introduce an advanced variant, SatFusion*, which integrates a panchromatic-guided mechanism into the MFIF stage. Through structure-aware feature embedding and transformer-based adaptive aggregation, SatFusion* enables spatially adaptive feature selection, strengthening the coupling between multi-frame and multi-source representations. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets validate our core insight: synergistically coupling multi-frame and multi-source priors effectively resolves the fragility of existing paradigms, delivering superior reconstruction fidelity, robustness, and generalizability.
