Abstract. Double Star Program (DSP) aims to investigate the trigger
mechanism and physical models of geomagnetic storms and substorms. The DSP
involves two satellites: the equatorial satellite of DSP (TC-1 in China) and
the polar satellite of DSP (TC-2 in China). On board the two satellites
of TC-1 and TC-2, there are four kinds of particle instruments developed by
the Center for Space Science and Applied Research (CSSAR), namely: the High
Energy Electron Detector (HEED, TC-1, 2), the High Energy Proton Detector
(HEPD, TC-1, 2), the High Energy Heavy Ion Detector (HID, TC-1, 2) and the
Low Energy Ion Detector (LEID, TC-2). HEED, HEPD and HID were developed and
calibrated in China. The LEID was developed in China and calibrated in
France. This paper introduces the scientific objectives and characteristics
of each instrument, their status and some preliminary results.
