摘要

Abstract: A COnstellation of Radiation BElt Survey (CORBES) program is proposed by the Sub-Group on Radiation Belt (SGRB) of TGCSS, COSPAR. To address the open qustions about the dynamics of the Earth’s radiation belt, CORBES mission would use a constellation of small/CubeSats to take an ultra-fast survey of the Earth’s radiation belt. The concept, science objectives and preliminary technical design of CORBES are introduced. This mission is an international multilateral cooperation mission coordinated by COSPAR. The SGRB Science Activities and COSPAR HQs Coordinate Activities on CORBES are summaried.
