THE MEASUREMENT OF A SIMULATED OUTER SMCE PLASMA ENVIRONMENT IN GROUND LAB

The interaction between spacecraft and space plasma is important to the spacecraft's and its facilities' safety. But it is expensive and time-consuming to do experiments in outer space. In order to do such research in ground laboratory, a simulated space plasma environment is required to be set up. By using an ECR plasma resource and other facilities, an uniform plasma environment is obtained in a vacuum chamber.
