  • About author:As the first SHEN Xuhui (1965– ) graduated from the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration, and obtained a doctorate of science in 1996. He is a professor and chief engineer of the Institute of Crustal Dynamics now. He is also currently the chief scientist and deputy chief designer of the electromagnetic monitoring test satellite project. He is mainly engaged in the researches of seismic tectonics and new tectonics, satellite seismic applications and geophysical remote sensing techniques for a long time.

Abstract: satellite of the China national geophysical field observation series of satellite missions, the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) was designed upon an optimized CAST2000 platform for a sun synchronous orbit. Onboard CSES, there are total eight types of scientific payloads including the Search-coil Magnetometer, Electric Field Detector, High Precision Magnetometer, GNSS Occupation Receiver, Plasma Analyzer, Langmuir Probe, Energetic Particle Detector Package, and a Three-band Transmitter to individually acquire the global electromagnetic field, electromagnetic waves, ionospheric plasma parameters as well as energetic particles. Up to now, CSES has been operating normally in orbit for 2 years. By using the various sensor data acquired by CSES, we have achieved scientific research in the areas of the global geomagnetic field modeling, space weather, earthquake event analysis, the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere coupling mechanism and so on.
