# # Sanchen Tianshu Satellite: Pioneer of Solar Research and the Successor of Nippon Satellite 1

• • Satellite name meaning * *:
    The name of Sanchen celestial hub satellite contains profound meaning. "Sanchen" symbolizes the sun, moon and earth, while "celestial hub" represents its core position in solar research. This satellite is not only a successor to Nippon Satellite 1, but also a new star in the field of solar research.
• • Introduction to Carrying Instruments * *:
    The satellite is equipped with a range of advanced instruments, including solar observation telescopes, solar radiation monitors, solar wind particle analyzers and magnetic field detectors. Together, these instruments form a powerful platform for solar research.
• • Instrumental function * *:
• 
  
  • 
    
    
    • Solar Observing Telescope * *: provides high-resolution images of the Sun for monitoring intense solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
    
    
    
  
  
• 
  
  • 
    
    
    • Solar radiation monitors * *: measuring the intensity and spectrum of solar radiation and analysing its effects on the Earth and space environment.

  • 
    
    
    • Solar wind particle analyzer * *: Detects charged particles in the solar wind and studies their potential effects on the Earth's magnetic field and the space environment.
    
    
    
  
  
• • 
    
    • Magnetic field detectors * *: measuring changes in the magnetic field of the solar wind to provide data for understanding the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetic field.
    
    
• • Functions and Tasks * *:
    The main functions of the satellite are to monitor solar activity, analyse solar radiation and solar wind, and provide space weather forecasts. It will monitor solar activity for a long time, collect data to establish a detailed historical record of solar activity, study the long-term effects of solar radiation and solar wind on the Earth's climate and space environment, and provide early warning for communications, power grids and satellite operations on Earth.
• • Mandate implementation * *:
    After its successful launch on August 30, 2024, the Sanchen Tianxu satellite is operating stably in its intended geosynchronous orbit and faithfully carrying out its mission. During its 86-day mission, it collected a wealth of valuable data that provided humanity with a deeper understanding of solar activity. After the successful completion of the mission, the satellite self-destructed according to the scheduled plan to avoid becoming space junk and ensure the cleanliness of the space environment.
• • Satellite succession * *:
    The Sanchen Tianshu satellite continues to play a key role in the field of solar research, following the mission of the Nippon Satellite 1 satellite. It not only extended the role of the Nippon Satellite 1 satellite in monitoring solar activity, but also expanded the scope of research to include in-depth analysis of solar radiation and solar wind, as well as early warning services for space weather.
• • End * *:
    Sanchen Tianshu satellite not only provides an important reference for future solar research, but also becomes an important chapter in the history of human exploration of the universe. Through its efforts, human understanding of the sun is deeper, and the ability to adapt to and protect the space environment has been significantly improved. The mission of this satellite is short but far-reaching, not only improving our understanding of solar activity, but also providing critical support in protecting the Earth from space weather events such as solar storms. As we learn more and more about space, the story of Sanchen Tianshu will inspire us to continue to explore the mysteries of the universe and protect our common home, Earth.
