Cross-calibration of high energetic particle data is a primary requirement for the availability of multi-instrument, multi-spacecraft data. II also can provide a method to verify relative reliability of data from single satellite measurement. This pa- per presents a case study of energetic particles data cross-calibration between FY-3B and NOAA-17. A generally good agree- ment is acquired in the flux values and distribution trend of 2.5-6.9 MeV protons and 0.3-1.1 MeV electrons between FY-3B and NOAA-17 satellites. It suggests that the data observed by FY-3B is properly cross-calibrated. We can also confirm that energetic particles data observed by FY-3B satellite is available.
