The double Langmuir probe, as a payload of a seism-electromagnetic satellite, has been designed for in situ measurements of the parameters of the ionosphere plasma on the 500km altitude orbit to research the electromagnetic coupling between the solid-earth activities and the ionosphere disturbances. The Langmuir probe is comprised of two spherical sensors: the diameter of the smaller one is 1cm and the other one is 5cm. The two sensors are mounted on two parallel booms on the satellite, which are half meter far from each other. The two main ionosphere parameters measured by the Langmuir probe are electron density and electron temperature, which are computed from the I-V curves. The I-V curve is given by a current flow through a sensor in case of a sweep voltage is applied to the sensor. There are three main work models for the Langmuir probe: the normal model, the burst model and the decontamination model. The normal model is for the general measurement of the ionosphere parameters around the globe with 1s time resolution, while the burst model is to measure the ionosphere over the interested areas, like the areas with more earthquake activities, with 0.5s time resolution. The decontamination model would work if the I-V curves shown hysteresis phenomenon, which indicated that the sensors may be contaminated by the outgassing of the satellite. The description of the Langmuir probe instrument and its capabilities is provided.
