- Abstract
The FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 (F7/C2) will ultimately place 12 satellites in orbit with two launches with 24° inclination and 520 km altitude in 2016 and with 72° inclination and 800km altitude in 2019. In this study, we examine the electron density probed at the two satellite altitudes 500 and 800 km by means of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (F3/C) observations at the packing orbit 500 km altitude and mission orbit 800 km altitude, as well as observing system simulation experiments (OSSE). The electron density derived from 500 and 800km satellite altitude of the F3/C observation and the OSSE confirm that the standard Abel inversion can correctly derive the electron density profile.
