The Trend of the Earth's Magnetospheric Space Exploration
Lecturer: CAO Jinbin
CAO Jinbin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), is the winner of National Science Fund for Distinguished Scholars. Currently, he is the dean of the school of Space and Environment in Beihang University and the vice chairman of China Space Science Commence, the deputy director of Teaching Steering Committee of Geophysics for the Ministry of Education, as well as the director of the Chinese National Committee for Committee on Space Research (CN-COSPAR). He is also the branch chairman of Plasma Wave for the Chinese National Committee for International Union of Radio Science (CN-URSI), and serves as a panel member of the Radiation Belt Models for COSPAR .
Academician CAO has been engaged in magnetospheric physics and space exploration for a long time, thus breaking new grounds in the release, transportation and dissipation of magnetospheric energy, the non-thermal escape of planetary (comet) atmospheres and the detection of magnetic field fluctuations in space. He proposed the theory of Anisotropic Gyration of Spatial Particles in Open Phase Space, and applied this theory to successfully explain a series of satellite observations that can not be explained by previous closed phase space theories. As the vice-chairman of the Scientific Working Committee for the China-ESA Double Star Space Exploration Program, and the director of the overall conceptual proof of the satellite's effective payload, he led his team to successfully develop China's first space and environment low-frequency electromagnetic wave detector. This achievement marked a groundbreaking advancement in China's space-based magnetic field fluctuation detection technology, contributing significantly to the initiation and smooth implementation of the Double Star Program(DSP).
