摘要: 聚焦张衡一号电磁监测试验卫星(01星)4大类8种载荷的数据定标难题, 构建了电磁卫星数据全链路在轨定标技术体系. 该体系纵向实现了各载荷原始电信号—物理量—数据的逐级在轨定标, 横向发展了载荷间、星间、星地、模型与实测数据之间的多维交叉校验方法. 经过在轨定标优化, 张衡一号01星(CSES-01)数据指标满足: 电磁场频率分辨率为0.45 Hz、高能粒子通量0.01 MeV及投掷角分辨率5°; 磁场精度优于1 nT、等离子体相对精度优于10%; 基于掩星接收机观测数据估算GPS卫星仪器偏差精度0.8 ns. 该在轨定标技术体系形成了电磁卫星定标领域的自主技术方案,已成功应用于张衡一号01星常规数据生产, 并驱动了张衡一号02星(CSES-02)工程改进, 提升了卫星整体观测性能, 为中国在该领域实现从技术追赶向并跑与引领的跨越奠定了关键技术基础.Abstract: This study focuses on the data calibration challenges of eight types of payloads in four major categories (electromagnetic field, in-situ plasma, energetic particles, and ionospheric structure) carried by the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES-01, also known as Zhangheng-1), The in-orbit full-chain calibration system for electromagnetic satellite data has been established. Vertically, this system achieves precise end-to-end validation from “raw signals to physical quantities and then to data products” for each payload. Horizontally, it conducts multidimensional cross-validation among payloads, satellites, and ground-based observations, as well as between models and measurements. Overall, the validated data from CSES-01 have reached an internationally advanced level, with some indicators leading globally. The frequency resolution of electromagnetic fields (0.45 Hz), as well as the flux (0.01 MeV) and pitch angle (5°) resolution of high-energy particles, outperform those of DEMETER and POES; the magnetic field accuracy (better than 1 nT) and plasma relative accuracy (better than 10%) are comparable to those of the Swarm satellites; the instrument bias accuracy of the GNSS occultation receiver is comparable to that of COSMIC. The magnetic field data have become an important data source for international models such as IGRF and CHAOS-8. This on-orbit validation technology system establishes a proprietary technical framework in the field of electromagnetic satellites, and has been successfully applied to the data production of the CSES-01 satellite and has driven engineering improvements for the CSES-02 satellite, significantly enhancing satellite observational performance. The validated data products have been applied to earthquake monitoring and space weather research, laying a key technological foundation for China’s transition from “catching up” to “keeping pace” and even “leading” in related technological domains.
