What's the name of the solar monitoring program?

China's "solar monitoring plan" is called Kuafu plan, also known as space storm, aurora and space weather detection plan.

This plan is named after Kuafu in China mythology. The Kuafu project consists of three satellites, which are used to monitor the occurrence of solar activities and related phenomena, the changes in the near-earth space environment caused by solar activities and the distribution of aurora on the earth around the clock. The plan attracted great attention as soon as it was released, attracting more than 10 internationally renowned space scientists to participate. Later, due to financial problems, Kuafu's plan was suspended.

Among them, a star is set on the connection line between the sun and the earth, which is 6.5438+0.5 million kilometers away from the earth, to monitor the solar activity and its accompanying phenomena around the clock. Two other satellites, B 1 and B2, fly in the polar orbit of the Earth to monitor the changes in the near-earth space environment caused by solar activities.

Main objectives:

The scientific goal of "Kuafu Plan" is to observe the overall continuous change phenomenon of space weather events from the sun to the earth, reveal the basic physical process of controlling the space system between the sun and the earth, improve the accuracy of space weather disaster prediction, and serve high-tech activities such as space communication.

Solar disturbance will lead to satellite failure, affect the safety of astronauts and interfere with various communication equipment on the ground. "Kuafu Plan" can help human beings to predict solar activities and take corresponding protective measures.
