Abstract
SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) is an international cooperation project led by the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) and the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales of France (CNES). SVOM focuses on the detection of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It is developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), CNES, and several other French laboratories. With the multi-band observation, fast manoeuvrability, flexible operation, and the capability of ground follow-up observation, the SVOM project will be the most important GRB detection mission after the SWIFT project, and will open a wide exploration field. In this paper, the project management, science objectives, the satellite platform and payloads, the ground segment, and operation concept are illustrated.
