DAMPE, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer, was named Wukong before launch. Will find high energy gamma rays (5 GeV-10 TeV), electrons (5 GeV-10 TeV) and cosmic rays (0.1-100 TeV); look for indirect evidence of dark matter decays. Angular resolution is 0.1 deg at 100 GeV.
1900 kg satellite of which 1400 kg is payload. Box + 2 panels Launched to 500 km SSO at 0632 LTDN.
