AbstractHigh Energy Charged Particle Experiment (HECPE) is to measure the fluxes of MeV electrons and tens of MeV protons. The two satellites of KuaFu-B are in the same polar orbit with apogee 7.0RE, perigee 1.8RE. They can sweep large L values and pass through the inner and outer radiation belts. The high energy electrons and protons in the radiation belts are principal sources for failures of satellites and spacecrafts in the Earth orbits. The enhancements of the high energy electrons and protons, so-called energetic particle events, are important phenomena of the Space Weather. The energy ranges monitored by HECPE are 0.3–0.5MeV, 0.5–1.0MeV, 1.0–2.0MeV, and E>2.0MeV for electrons, 5–10MeV, 10–20MeV, 20–40MeV, and 40–80MeV for protons.
