The  space plasma environment effects laboratory, a large scale one in  china, has completed a great deal of ground based plasma effects tests  detector calibrations for pay loads of many spacecraft missions,  including “Shijian No.4”, “Shijian No.5”,  “Manned Spacecraft”, “Double Star”, “Chang’e Program”, “Mars Exploration Program”,  etc. The plasma effects researches involve simulation of spacecraft  surface charging, environment simulation and test for low energy ion  detector, development and calibration of space plasma detector,  investigation of temperature control material and solar cell charging  characteristics, spacecraft wake effects, and ion damping effects, etc.
