China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) is the first space-based electromagnetic platform of China’s stereo seismic monitoring system and the first satellite of China’s geophysical field exploration satellite program that will be used to obtain the in-situ structural parameters and their effects on Earth’s magnetic field

space electromagnetic wave field

and ionospheric plasma. According to the objective of CSES

the parameters of the satellite orbit

satellite platform

and payloads

including the satellite footprint

magnetic and charging cleanliness control and boom design

and the isoelectric potential on the platform surface

are analyzed and tested. On February 2

CSES was launched

and the commission test proved that the system works well. The entire team has overcome difficulties in the R&D phase. The platform and payload can work in orbit

and the preliminary test shows that the main function and performance meet the demand and index designed by the project.
