According to the relevant regulations on naming activities of dark matter particle detection satellites, on the basis of data statistics and with the approval of China Academy of Sciences, the dark matter particle detection satellite was officially named "Wukong".
Extended data:
For the measurement of high-energy electrons and photons, "Wukong" has three "magical powers": the highest energy resolution, the widest energy range and the best background suppression ability. The mass of this cosmic monkey is 1.9 tons, and the payload mass is 1.4 tons. It's like an expensive, complicated, upside-down four-layer cake. Its working principle is to indirectly discover and study dark matter particles by detecting the direction, energy and charge of high-energy particles in the universe.
The data received by "Monkey" every day is about 16G. Dark matter has no charge and no magnetic field interaction. It can pass through obstacles like a ghost without being seen or perceived by human beings.
