主 题:low energy ion spectrometer geosynchronous orbit inflight measurement differential energy flux surface charging storm/substorm
摘 要:A Chinese geosynchronous satellite was launched on June 23,*** carried a plasma detection package to monitor the space environment around the *** we report the inflight performance of a low energy ion spectrometer(LEIS),one of the primary instruments in the plasma detection package,and its initial observations in *** from the state-of-the-art design of a top-hat electrostatic analyzer cooperated with angular scanning deflectors,three-dimensional measurement of ions in space with a large field of view of 360°×90°and a wide energy range from 50 eV to 25 keV per charge has been *** differential energy flux spectra of ions around the orbit have shown clear signatures of surface charging and storm/substorm ion *** occurrence of surface charging could be caused by the lack of photoemission at the Earth s eclipse(near the midnight)or the storm energetic electron injection at the dawn *** present results demonstrated a good performance of the LEIS payload in flight for monitoring the space ion environment around the *** situ measurements of the LEIS payload provide us an opportunity to understand the magnetospheric ion dynamics and forecast the associate space weather impacts.
