Far-ultraviolet Ionospheric Photometer

<p>As a space-based optical remote sensing method, Far-ultraviolet Ionospheric Photometer with small size, low power consumption, high sensitivity is an important means to detect physical parameters of the ionosphere. Using the Far-ultraviolet Ionospheric Photometer to detect the intensity of ionospheric 135.6nm night airglow can obtain the ionospheric TEC, F2 layer peak electronic density(NmF2), which can be used to study the information on changes in ionospheric space environment,and the impact of the ionosphere on the radio communications, etc.; The ionospheric 135.6nm day airglow and the LBH radiation radiance can be used to obtain the ionospheric O / N2 ratio information, which can be used to study the space weather events and monitor the electromagnetic environment changes in the Earth's space. The FY3-D Ionospheric Photometer(IPM), launched on November 15, 2017, has a detection sensitivity which is greater than 150 counts / s / Rayleigh and a spatial field of view of 1.6 × 3.5 ° with high horizontal spatial resolution that will help to achieve the fine detection of the ionosphere. This report will analyze the FY3-D IPM detection results.At the same time,the report will introduce our research team’s work on the development and application of other payloads in the far ultraviolet band</p>
