Description
GECAM (Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor) is an ALL-TIME ALL-SKY monitor for GW EM. It consists of two small satellites in the same Low Earth Orbit (~600 km, 29°) with opposite orbital phase, monitoring instantaneous 100% all-sky from 6 keV to 5 MeV, without a turned-off during the SAA passage.
GECAM shall detect several GW GRBs per year jointly with LIGO/Virgo, as one of the best high-energy monitors in the multi-messenger and multi-wavelength era in the early 2020s
