Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) is a space telescope composed of a constellation of two small satellites for research in electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves. It was launched on 9 December 2020 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 20:14 UTC. GECAM will focus on detecting electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves, high-energy radiation from fast radio bursts, various gamma-ray bursts, and magnetar flares.
