Abstract: The Taiji-1 satellite is a pilot satellite mission of Taiji program, which is used to verify Taiji’s key technology and also to testify the feasibility of Taiji roadmap. Taiji-1 was launched on 31 August 2019 and its designed mission was successfully completed. The in-orbit scientific achievements of Taiji-1 satellite in the first stage have been published and now it has entered the extended task phase. Taiji-2 will prepare all the technology needed by Taiji-3, and remove all the technical obstacles faced by Taiji-3.
