The satellite is mainly used for ground radar equipment calibration and radar cross section measurement. It will provide support for ground optical equipment imaging experiments and low-orbit space environment detection and monitoring experiments, as well as offer services for atmospheric space environment measurement and orbit prediction model correction.
