6 Scientific Objectives
CAS-ESA Joint Scientific Space Mission Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) Scientific Objectives Investigate the dynamic response of the Earth’s magnetosphere to the solar wind impact in a unique and global manner Combine X-ray imaging of the dayside magnetosheath and the cusps with simultaneous UV imaging of the northern aurora, while monitoring the solar wind conditions in situ Full chain of events that drive Sun-Earth relationships: dayside reconnection / magnetospheric substorm cycle / CME-driven storms

10 Thermospheric Density Observation Satellite
- Derivation from Drag Measurement Motivation: Current thermospheric density models do not adequately account for dynamic changes in atmospheric drag for orbit predictions. Needs: Thermospheric data are needed for Model calibration, first regionally then globally; New model development with significant improvement. Goal: A small satellite: High precision position measurement; low-cost; minimalist design.

11 Thermospheric Density Observation Satellite
- Derivation from Drag Measurement Mentality of designing: To be launched together with a main satellite. High precision position measurements: GNSS; The frontal area A and the mass m of the satellite keep unchanged in orbit: A/m = constant; Low-cost satellite with weak satellite attitude control. Frontal Area unchanged!

12 Progress: Future plan: Thermospheric Density Observation Satellite
- Derivation from Drag Measurement Progress: Construction of the satellite completed in 2016; Waiting for a launch opportunity at the earliest chance. Future plan: A multi-satellite network for in-situ measurements is under conception research. Different altitude Different inclination Different A/m ratio Launch time optimized

16 Space Weather Services for China’s Manned Space Missions
Monitored the space weather conditions 24 hours/day. Provided daily space weather forecasts 365 days/year. Provided space weather alerts timely. Tiangong-2 Long-term forecasts of sunspot, F10.7 index , Ap index, ionospheric parameters and effect analysis for Tiangong-2. Verified the F10.7 and Ap index mid-term forecasts to assist orbit determination for Tiangong-2. Made sunspot, F10.7 and Ap index long-term forecasts of solar cycle (from 2016 to 2040) for China space station.

17 Space Weather Services for Strategic Priority Program
Main Scientific Themes Space Weather Services for Strategic Priority Program - Missions Included

18 Space Weather Services for Strategic Priority Program
- DArk Matter Particle Explorer satellite (DAMPE) Analyze the space radiation conditions on the orbit and their effects on the satellite. Provide time periods and energy spectrum flux when the satellite crosses the SAA. Help to determine control strategy when the satellite crosses the SAA.

19 Space Weather Services for Strategic Priority Program
- QUantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) The key payload of QUESS, Single Photon Avalanche Diode, is sensitive to proton irradiation. We carried out analysis of high-energy proton environment for different altitudes of satellite orbit and evaluated the cumulative proton fluence during the mission life. We evaluated the shielding abilities under different thicknesses, and calculated the transmitting proton spectrum as well as the proton-induced displacement damage effect for different shielding materials. Proton distribution at 600km of altitude Shielded flux for radiation belt protons The range of protons in Aluminum and in Tantalum
