A Chinese-made electromagnetic test satellite will be launched in the second half of 2017 to monitor earthquakes. It will be the first satellite of its kind for China.
一枚中国制造的电磁感应卫星将于2017年下半年被发射进入太空，这是中国首枚同类型的卫星。
The satellite has a life span of five years, monitoring quakes of magnitude six or above that hit China, and quakes of magnitude seven or above occurring across the world.
The electromagnetic satellite has eight
components including an inductive magnetometer, a magnetic tester, an electric field
detector, and a Global Positioning
Sensor Occultation System.
It will serve as China's first space-based platform for seismological observation, and will provide the country with a much wider observation perspective compared to ground-based monitoring stations. It will be able to monitor the real-time
dynamics of the ionosphere and will monitor for signs of
impending earthquakes by collecting data on the global electromagnetic field, energetic particles, and more.
Earthquakes affect electromagnetics by cutting earth's magnetic lines and outputting electromagnetic radiation.
