Observe the small perturbation of the geomagnetic field at the LEO.

Description

Observe the small perturbation of the geomagnetic field at the LEO.

Measure the global distribution of the Sq (Solar quiet) currents in the dayside ionosphere as well as the disturbed magnetic field variations (such as 3D-structure of the substorm current wedge and Pc5 pulsations) associated with Storm/Substorms.

Missions:

  • Magnetic field observation.
  • Aurora observation by optical camera.
  • Charging observation in LEO.
  • Boom deployment mechanism to improve magnetometer observation accuracy.
