Estimation of Geometric Factors for the Particle Detecting Instruments of the Geostationary Satellite GK2A at 128.2°E Longitude Based on Observations of the Outer Radiation Belt During Geomagnetically Quiet Periods

Abstract

In space weather research, the geostationary orbit has been of particular interest as it offers valuable opportunities for various disciplines such as meteorology, remote-sensing, communication, and military owing to its matching orbital period with that of the Earth's rotation. Previous space missions have repeatedly confirmed that geostationary orbits are usually immersed in outer radiation belts that are occupied by highly energetic,
