Abstract This work introduces the instruments’ design of multi-directional medium-energy electron detector (energy range: 30–770 keV) and high-energy electron detector (energy range: 400 keV to 5.8 MeV) deployed on one of the BeiDou navigation satellites in medium earth orbit. Through the electromagnetic compatibility design, the problem of the detector signal being susceptible to electromagnetic interference is solved and the lower detection limit reaches a very low level of 20 keV. The proton contamination in the electron measurement can be effectively removed by designing the light-blocking layer and the logical working mode of the sensors. The detector circuits and sensor structure are optimized and the miniaturization of the instrument is realized. This study also introduces the calibration method of the detectors, and gives the ground test results, which can provide a basis for the on-orbit calibration and data processing of the instrument.

Abstract The single event effect caused by space heavy ion radiation is one of the important factors affecting the safety and operation of spacecraft on orbit. In the research and evaluation of the frequency, spatial distribution and time characteristics of single event effects, linear energy transfer (LET) spectra of space radiation play an important role. On the Beidou navigation M15 and M16 satellites, a single event upset (SEU) and LET monitor was developed to obtain the upsets of the memory device and the LET spectra of space radiation which passes through the device. Through the measurement results from this monitor, the correlation between the device’s SEUs and the LET spectra could be studied.

Abstract In 2007, Storti predicted that the value of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) temperature may be improved: from the particle data group (PDG) value of [T 0 = 2.725 ± 0.001 K] to [T 0 = 2.7254 K]. In 2011, the PDG revised their value of CMBR to [T 0 = 2.7255 ± 0.006 K]. In 2008, Storti predicted a ΛCDM Hubble constant of [H 0 = 67.0843 km/s/Mpc]. In the same year, the PDG published their value as being [H 0 = 73 ± 3 km/s/Mpc]. In 2013, the PDG published a revised value of [H 0] as being considerably lower [H 0 = 67.3 ± 1.2 km/s/Mpc]. These predictions and experimental confirmations, in particular the value of [H 0] being successfully predicted 5 years in advance of the Planck collaboration and without Planck satellite instrumentation, demonstrate the power of the technique applied. We utilize the same technique to calculate the present values of ΛCDM [H 0], [ΩΛ], [ΩM], [q], and [Λ]. Subsequently, we describe the complete history of the cosmos from the instant of the Big Bang to the present epoch, in complete agreement with the standard model of cosmology. Moreover, we explicitly demonstrate that the Hubble tension does not exist, in a companion publication to this research article. This is achieved by utilizing a single equation to calculate both values of Hubble constant associated with the Hubble tension.

Abstract A low-energy ion spectrometer (LEIS), onboard a Chinese navigation satellite in geosynchronous orbit, is one of the primary instruments for plasma detection. The LEIS is implemented by combining a top-hat electrostatic analyzer with a pair of angular scanning deflectors, which enables us to achieve in situ measurement of energetic ions in three-dimensional (3D) space with a large field of view of 360° × 90° and a wide energy range from 50 eV to 25 keV per charge. The key performance parameters including analyzer constant, geometric factor, linear relation function between elevation angles and deflector voltages, and the energy or angular resolutions have been determined by using detailed simulations and calibration experiments on the ground. The preliminary results from on-orbit observations demonstrate that the capability of the present LEIS payload can well meet the mission requirements for sampling the low-energy ion distributions in 3D space, measuring the negative satellite surface potential, and monitoring the magnetospheric storm or substorm activities.

Abstract We present a study of the interstellar medium parameters in star-forming complexes (SFCs) in NGC 3351, NGC 5055, and NGC 5457 galaxies. This study concludes our previous investigations of gas and dust in a number of spiral galaxies. The data for the three galaxies confirm the following. There is a tight correlation between near-infrared and far-infrared luminosities of the extragalactic SFCs. Emission at 8 μm also shows a strong correlation with the carbon monoxide emission. Atomic and molecular gas masses do not show any strong correlation with the corresponding velocity scatters; however, in NGC 5055, we see a hint of the SFC with the largest velocity scatter being located at the galaxy periphery.

Abstract Asteroid capture holds great significance in understanding the origins of asteroids, the source of life, and the exploration of planetary mineral resources. To ensure the success of a mission aimed at capturing asteroids, it is crucial to choose asteroids that can be naturally captured by Earth. This article focuses on the orbital characteristics of temporarily captured asteroids. Through a statistical simulation of asteroid motion and an analytical derivation of the Jacobian integral, the necessary conditions for the temporary capture of asteroids by Earth are calculated. The analysis results show an approximately linear relationship between the orbit elements of temporarily captured asteroids. This condition is used to screen the currently observed near-Earth asteroids and has identified asteroids such as 2006 RH120 and 2020 CD3, which have been temporarily captured by Earth. These findings provide important suggestions for future asteroid capture missions and target selection.

Abstract Most of the satellites of the BeiDou navigation system work in geostationary orbit (GEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO), where the space plasma environment can make a severe impact on spacecraft. To measure the parameters of the plasma environment in GEO and MEO orbital space and to improve the design of the environmental adaptability of the satellites based on in situ probe data, a 2π-solid-angle omnidirectional field-of-view plasma detector was investigated and tested. The overall system design and detailed design of the structure and electric system were implemented. Then tests and verification were carried out to validate the reliability and capability of the detector. The detector can supply accurate in situ data of the plasma environment and be used to investigate the space plasma environment and its effects.
