Diviner红外温度与嫦娥卫星微波探测仪月表亮温的比较分析

提出使用高分辨率的Diviner辐射计红外温度作为月壤热传导的边界输入条件,使得月壤物理温度廓线的模拟更接近月表真实情况. 利用Diviner物理温度廓线模拟的微波亮温与嫦娥二号卫星微波探测仪（CELMS2）的实测亮温匹配,来分析CELMS2数据的有效性和稳定性,为月壤微波特性的反演奠定基础. 以哥白尼坑区域为例,对比分析了Diviner辐射计红外通道温度与CELMS1实测微波亮温的变化趋势. 选择月球虹湾地区内一位置点（45.1°-45.5°N,33.1°-33.5°W）,分析了CELMS2在该位置点内5个月球时刻的亮温数据. 通过对实测亮温与模拟亮温在经纬度和太阳高度角的匹配分析得到,在高频微波通道内两者的相关性达到96%以上,表明嫦娥二号微波探测仪亮温数据具有较高的稳定性,可以为月壤特性反演研究提供可靠数据来源.      

基于“嫦娥2号”CELMS数据的冯·卡门撞击坑微波辐射特性

冯·卡门（Von Kármán）撞击坑位于月球背面的SPA盆地西北部,切穿了浅层月壳,具有异常的矿物成分分布。基于微波辐射计数据的月壤微波辐射特性分析,对月球热演化和岩浆演化研究具有重要的参考价值。本研究基于“嫦娥2号”卫星微波辐射计数据,采用时角分析、双线性插值方法,生成了研究区域的亮温（T_B）图和亮温差（dT_B）图像;结合Arcgis软件,叠加地质图,并结合成分、地形图,研究了Von Kármán撞击坑微波辐射特性。研究结果表明：研究区北部出现高T_B异常,初步判定为下垫面温度较高;研究区南部出现与钛铁矿（FeO+TiO₂）含量分布相对应的亮温表现;结合研究区的微波辐射特性,重新进行了冯·卡门撞击坑地质解译;根据冯·卡门撞击坑的亮温表现,建议北部为着陆区重点选择区,其次为南部和西部。     

基于场理论的“嫦娥4号”着陆区亮温时空分布特征研究

“嫦娥4号”（Chang’e-4）将首次实现在月球背面软着陆,而着陆区初步定为月球背面南极–艾肯（South Pole-Aitken,SPA）盆地内的冯·卡门（Von Kármán）撞击坑。利用“嫦娥”微波辐射计穿透性强的特点,针对微波辐射亮温缺乏场分析的问题,从场观点出发利用SVD方法分析冯·卡门撞击坑的亮温时空分布特征。结果表明冯·卡门撞击坑的3 GHz昼夜亮温场和37 GHz昼夜亮温场之间存在显著的耦合模态,同时在撞击坑内的亮温变化趋势相对一致;FeO+TiO₂（FTA）含量高的区域其相关性较高,也是亮温变化的关键区域,但是其等值线密度和FTA含量没有明显相关关系,主要和月表粗糙度相关。最后通过分析冯·卡门撞击坑的亮温时空分布特征综合地形特征、地层单元和物质化学成分等因素,为Chang’e-4着陆区的选择提供了参考。     

三层月壤模型的多通道微波辐射模拟与月壤厚度的反演

由月球表面数字高程试验性地构造了整个月球表面月壤厚度的分布.根据Clementine探月卫星的紫外-可见光光学数据,计算了整个月球表面月壤中FeO+TiO2含量分布,给出了整个月球表面月壤介电常数分布.由月球表层温度的观测结果以及月壤的导热特性,给出了月尘层与月壤层温度随纬度分布的经验公式.在这些条件的基础上,建立了月尘、月壤、月岩三层微波热辐射模型.由起伏逸散定理,模拟计算了该月球模型多通道辐射亮度温度.然后,以此辐射亮度温度模拟加随机噪声为理论观测值,按三层模型提出了月壤层厚度反演方法.由于高频通道穿透深度小,由高频通道的辐射亮度温度按照两层月尘-月壤微波热辐射模型反演月尘层与月壤层的物理温度,再由穿透深度较大的低频通道辐射亮度温度反演月壤层厚度.对于反演的相对误差也进行了讨论.      

增益对星载微波辐射计系统线性度的影响分析

针对星载微波辐射计中检波器的工作特性进行分析. 观测固定目标时, 通过调节AGC (Automatic Gain Control)的大小, 定量分析系统伏安特性曲线, 对星载微波辐射计系统线性度进行定性分析. 结果表明, 通过调节AGC大小, 系统增益发生变化, 导致检波器工作区间发生微弱变化, 通过两点定标不能完全消除由于增益引起的非线性误差. 对一定亮温范围的观测目标进行分析, 结果证明, AGC变化时反算亮温与实际目标亮温差值随观测亮温的变化而成非线性变化. 从而证明, 系统增益变化导致的亮温变化通过两点线性定标并不能完全消除. 在系统正常工作或实时定标过程中, 要尽量避免调节AGC值, 保证微波辐射计系统工作在线性区间.

Concept options for the aerial survey of Titan

Various aerial platforms intended for long endurance survey of the Titan surface are presented. A few novel concepts are introduced, including a heated methane balloon and a balloon with a tethered wind turbine. All the concept options are predicted to have lower scientific payload fractions than the Huygens probe. It is concluded that the selection of the best aerial platform option depends on more accurate mass estimates and a clear decision on whether, or not, in situ surface composition measurements are required in conjunction with aerial remote sensing.     

Heterogeneous solid/gas chemistry of organic compounds related to comets,meteorites, Titan,and Mars: Laboratory and in lower Earth orbit experiments

To understand the evolution of organic molecules involved in extraterrestrial environments and with exobiological implications, many experimental programs in the laboratory are devoted to photochemical studies in the gaseous phase as well as in the solid state. The validity of such studies and their applications to extraterrestrial environments can be questioned as long as experiments conducted in space conditions, with the full solar spectrum, especially in the short wavelength domain, have not been implemented. The experiments that are described here will be carried out on a FOTON capsule, using the BIOPAN facility, and on the International Space Station, using the EXPOSE facility. Vented and sealed exposition cells will be used, which will allow us to study the chemical evolution in the gaseous phase as well as heterogeneous processes, such as the degradation of solid compounds and the release of gaseous fragments.

The postmitotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae after spaceflight showed higher viability

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been proposed as an ideal model organism for clarifying the biological effects caused by spaceflight conditions. The postmitotic S. cerevisiae cells onboard Practice eight recoverable satellite were subjected to spaceflight for 15 days. After recovery, the viability, the glycogen content, the activities of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes, the DNA content and the lipid peroxidation level in yeast cells were analyzed. The viability of the postmitotic yeast cells after spaceflight showed a three-fold increase as compared with that of the ground control cells. Compared to the ground control cells, the lipid peroxidation level in the spaceflight yeast cells markedly decreased. The spaceflight yeast cells also showed an increase in G2/M cell population and a decrease in Sub-G1 cell population. The glycogen content and the activities of hexokinase and succinate dehydrogenase significantly decreased in the yeast cells after spaceflight. In contrast, the activity of malate dehydrogenase showed an obvious increase after spaceflight. These results suggested that microgravity or spaceflight could promote the survival of postmitotic S. cerevisiae cells through regulating carbohydrate metabolism, ROS level and cell cycle progression.     

Signs of Müller cell gliotic response found in the retina of newts exposed to real and simulated microgravity

The effects of real and simulated microgravity on the eye tissue regeneration of newts were investigated. For the first time changes in Müller glial cells in the retina of eyes regenerating after retinal detachment were detected in newts exposed to clinorotation. The cells divided, were hypertrophied, and their processes were thickened. Such changes suggested reactive gliosis and were more significant in animals exposed to rotation when compared with desk-top controls. Later experiments onboard the Russian biosatellite Bion-11 showed similar changes in the retinas that were regenerating in a two-week spaceflight. In the Bion-11 animals, GFAP, the major structural protein of retinal macroglial cells, was found to be upregulated. In a more recent experiment onboard Foton-M3 (2007), GFAP expression in retinas of space-flown, ground control (kept at 1 g), and basal control (sacrificed on launch day) newts was quantified, using microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and digital image analysis. A low level of immunoreactivity was observed in basal controls. In contrast, retinas of space-flown animals showed greater GFAP immunoreactivity associated with both an increased cell number and a higher thickness of intermediate filaments. This, in turn, was accompanied by up-regulation of stress protein (HSP90) and growth factor (FGF2) expressions. It can be postulated that such a response of Müller cells was to mitigate the retinal stress in newts exposed to microgravity. Taken together, the data suggest that the retinal population of macroglial cells could be sensitive to gravity changes and that in space it can react by enhancing its neuroprotective function.
