KuaFu Mission: The scientific payload of KuaFu-B
Abstract
The KuaFu mission would consist an L1 satellite KuaFu-A and a polar satellite pair KuaFu B1 B2 The mission is designed to explore the whole cause-and-result chain in solar-terrestrial space The two KuaFu-Bs will have the same payload sets and fly on the same polar orbit plane but with a phase difference of half period The preferred perigee is 1 8 Re and the apogee is 7 Re This orbit design will support a 24 times 7 full-covered observation on the northern auroral oval by the onboard aurora cameras The suggested payloads consist of a Far Ultraviolet Auroral Monitoring Camera UVAMC a FUV Imaging Spectrometer FUVSI a Wide Field Auroral Imager WFAI a Fluxgate Magnetometer FGM a High Energy Charged Particle Experiment HECPE an Imaging energetic electron and proton instrument IEPS a Neutral Atom Imager on KuaFu NAIK a Fast Plasma Pitch Angle Instrument FPI an Ion Mass Spectrometer IMS FPI and IMS were suggested to merge and a Tri-Band Beacon TBB
