Instrument | Status/ Accuracy | Instrument Description | Measurement Technology | Timeline |
IRM Imaging and Rapid-scanning ion Mass spectrometer | Operational
| Measures the composition and 3-dimensional velocity distributions of ions. | n/a |  |
IVM Ion Velocity Meter | Operational
| Measures the in-situ plasma density, ion temperature and composition, and drift velocity. Used for modeling the ionosphere to determine electric fields that could impact other systems (e.g. GPS radio signals). | n/a |  |
SEP Space Environment Monitoring Instrument Package | Operational
| A suite that contains energetic particle detectors, magnetometer, and space weather impact detectors, among which, the energetic particle detectors measure high energy protons (0.4~4MeV) and high energy electrons (1~165MeV, and >165MeV) with two probes. Particle flux detection is performed in multiple directions with a number of probes mounted toward different orientation on the three-axis stabilized spacecraft. The space weather impact detectors measure radiation dosage, electrification at the surface and deep inside the spacecraft. It’s the first time China put space weather impact and space environment detectors on the same geostationary platform. | n/a |  |
SSULI Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager | Operational
| Measures vertical profiles of the natural airglow radiation from atoms, molecules and ions in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. | n/a |  |
SSUSI Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager | Operational
| Monitors the composition and structure of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, as well as auroral energetic particle inputs, with spectrographic imaging and photometry. | n/a |  |
STIS Supra Thermal Ion Sensor | Proposed
