为了达到空间物理研究的新境界——等离子体宇宙，SCOPE将通过对地球磁层的原位测量，结合高时间分辨率电子测量进行编队飞行观测。通过SCOPE对各种等离子体动力学现象的同时多尺度观测，可以从跨尺度耦合的角度对关键空间等离子体过程进行基于数据的研究。研究的关键物理过程是各种边界条件下的磁重联、空间等离子体中的冲击、边界处无碰撞等离子体混合以及嵌入复杂磁几何结构中的电流片的物理特性。SCOPE编队由5个航天器组成，被送入远地点为30re （Re：地球半径）的赤道轨道。其中一艘太空船是一艘大型母舰，配备了全套粒子探测器，包括超高时间分辨率电子探测器。在其他4个小型航天器中，有一个仍处于休眠状态。
In order to reach the new horizon of the space physics research, the Plasma Universe, via in‐situ measurements in the Earth’s magnetosphere, SCOPE will perform formation flying observations combined with high‐time resolution electron measurements. The simultaneous multi‐scale observations by SCOPE of various plasma dynamical phenomena will enable data‐based study of the key space plasma processes from the cross‐scale coupling point of view. Key physical processes to be studied are magnetic reconnection under various boundary conditions, shocks in space plasma, collisionless plasma mixing at the boundaries, and physics of current sheets embedded in complex magnetic geometries. The SCOPE formation is made up of 5 spacecraft and is put into the equatorial orbit with the apogee at 30 Re (Re: earth radius). One of the spacecraft is a large mother ship which is equipped with a full suite of particle detectors including ultra‐high time resolution electron detector. Among other 4 small spacecraft, one remains nea...
