Satellite architecture and preliminary in-orbit experiment of Taiji-1.

Taiji-1 is China's first in-orbit technology validating satellite related to spaceborne gravitational wave (GW) detection. The satellite was launched at 600km sun synchronized orbit on 31 August 2019. It has accomplished its mission goals while all subsystems have validated their key technologies in orbit. The subsystems include optical metrology system (OMS), drag-free attitude control system (DFACS), thermal control subsystem, high-quality microgravity satellite platform and so on. This paper presents system architecture of Taiji-1 analyzing in-orbit experimental results of thermal stability, reaction wheel vibration contributing to the noise of gravitational reference sensor (GRS) measurement noise, and the center-of-mass (CoM) of GRS calibration.
