As part of the “PolAres” research programme, we are investigating techniques to detect and reduce forward contamination of the Mars regolith during human exploration. We report here on the development of a spacesuit simulator-prototype dubbed “Aouda.X,” document the inability of current technology to produce a static charge sufficient to minimize dust transport on the suit, and present preliminary results employing laser induced fluorescence emission (L.I.F.E.) techniques to monitor fluorescent microspherules as biological contamination proxies. 相似文献

Observations of emission lines in the vacuum-ultraviolet spectral range with calibrated instrumentation provide crucial information on the prevailing plasma temperatures in the solar atmosphere. Coronal-hole temperatures measured by the SUMER spectrometer on SOHO will be presented in this contribution. Electron temperatures can be estimated from the formation temperatures of the observed emission lines. Line-ratio and emission-measure analyses, however, offer higher accuracies. Typical electron temperatures at altitudes of H<200?Mm in coronal holes are below 1?MK in bright structures—the coronal plumes—with higher values in darker areas—the inter-plume regions. Line-width measurements yield effective ion temperatures, which are much higher than the electron temperatures. Observations of line profiles emitted from species with different masses allow a separation of the effective temperatures into ion temperatures and unresolved non-thermal motions along the line of sight. 相似文献

Electron density profiles from ground based and rocket borne measurements are presented which were derived at three sites in northern Scandinavia under various degrees of geophysical disturbance. These data are checked against the instantaneous picture of the ionospheric absorption as observed with the dense riometer network. 相似文献

In Part I of this review, the concepts of solar vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) observations were outlined together with a discussion
of the space instrumentation used for the investigations. A section on spectroradiometry provided some quantitative results
on the solar VUV radiation without considering any details of the solar phenomena leading to the radiation. Here, in Part
II, we present solar VUV observations over the last decades and their interpretations in terms of the plasma processes and
the parameters of the solar atmosphere, with emphasis on the spatial and thermal structures of the chromosphere, transition
region and corona of the quiet Sun. In addition, observations of active regions, solar flares and prominences are included
as well as of small-scale events. Special sections are devoted to the elemental composition of the solar atmosphere and theoretical
considerations on the heating of the corona and the generation of the solar wind. 相似文献

The ESA mission Rosetta, launched on March 2nd, 2004, carries an instrument suite to the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The COmetary Secondary Ion Mass Anaylzer – COSIMA – is one of three cometary dust analyzing instruments onboard Rosetta. COSIMA is based on the analytic measurement method of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The experiment’s goal is in-situ analysis of the elemental composition (and isotopic composition of key elements) of cometary grains. The chemical characterization will include the main organic components, present homologous and functional groups, as well as the mineralogical and petrographical classification of the inorganic phases. All this analysis is closely related to the chemistry and history of the early solar system. COSIMA covers a mass range from 1 to 3500 amu with a mass resolution m/Δm @ 50% of 2000 at mass 100 amu. Cometary dust is collected on special, metal covered, targets, which are handled by a target manipulation unit. Once exposed to the cometary dust environment, the collected dust grains are located on the target by a microscopic camera. A pulsed primary indium ion beam (among other entities) releases secondary ions from the dust grains. These ions, either positive or negative, are selected and accelerated by electrical fields and travel a well-defined distance through a drift tube and an ion reflector. A microsphere plate with dedicated amplifier is used to detect the ions. The arrival times of the ions are digitized, and the mass spectra of the secondary ions are calculated from these time-of-flight spectra. Through the instrument commissioning, COSIMA took the very first SIMS spectra of the targets in space. COSIMA will be the first instrument applying the SIMS technique in-situ to cometary grain analysis as Rosetta approaches the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, after a long journey of 10 years, in 2014. 相似文献

A clinostat is a device often used in gravitational biology studies. Selecting an appropriate speed of rotation, however, is a frequently debated topic, particularly for suspended cells. In an attempt to define the necessary criteria for determining an acceptable revolution speed, the primary forces governing particle behavior during clinorotation--gravity, diffusion and centrifugation--were mathematically assessed. In support of the theoretical exercise, bacterial growth experiments indicated that results obtained using a clinostat followed trends resembling previous space flight results. It is suspected that this is due, in part at least, to similarly altered external transport processes in each environment. 相似文献

Geochemical investigation of Martian meteorites (SNC meteorites) yields important constraints on the chemical and geodynamical evolution of Mars. These samples may not be representative of the whole of Mars; however, they provide constraints on the early differentiation processes on Mars. The bulk composition of Martian samples implies the presence of a metallic core that formed concurrently as the planet accreted. The strong depletion of highly siderophile elements in the Martian mantle is only possible if Mars had a large scale magma ocean early in its history allowing efficient separation of a metallic melt from molten silicate. The solidification of the magma ocean created chemical heterogeneities whose ancient origin is manifested in the heterogeneous 142Nd and 182W abundances observed in different meteorite groups derived from Mars. The isotope anomalies measured in SNC meteorites imply major chemical fractionation within the Martian mantle during the life time of the short-lived isotopes 146Sm and 182Hf. The Hf-W data are consistent with very rapid accretion of Mars within a few million years or, alternatively, a more protracted accretion history involving several large impacts and incomplete metal-silicate equilibration during core formation. In contrast to Earth early-formed chemical heterogeneities are still preserved on Mars, albeit slightly modified by mixing processes. The preservation of such ancient chemical differences is only possible if Mars did not undergo efficient whole mantle convection or vigorous plate tectonic style processes after the first few tens of millions of years of its history. 相似文献

The International Rosetta Mission is set for a rendezvous with Comet 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. On its 10 year journey
to the comet, the spacecraft will also perform a fly-by of the two asteroids Stein and Lutetia in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
The mission goal is to study the origin of comets, the relationship between cometary and interstellar material and its implications
with regard to the origin of the Solar System. Measurements will be performed that shed light into the development of cometary
activity and the processes in the surface layer of the nucleus and the inner coma.
The Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) instrument is an essential element of Rosetta’s scientific payload. It will
provide 3D images and statistical parameters of pristine cometary particles in the nm-μm range from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
According to cometary dust models and experience gained from the Giotto and Vega missions to 1P/Halley, there appears to be
an abundance of particles in this size range, which also covers the building blocks of pristine interplanetary dust particles.
The dust collector of MIDAS will point at the comet and collect particles drifting outwards from the nucleus surface. MIDAS
is based on an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), a type of scanning microprobe able to image small structures in 3D. AFM images
provide morphological and statistical information on the dust population, including texture, shape, size and flux. Although
the AFM uses proven laboratory technology, MIDAS is its first such application in space. This paper describes the scientific
objectives and background, the technical implementation and the capabilities of MIDAS as they stand after the commissioning
of the flight instrument, and the implications for cometary measurements. 相似文献

Mercury is a poorly known planet, since the only space-based information comes from the three fly-bys performed in 1974 by
the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Ground-based observations also provided some interesting results, but they are particularly difficult
to obtain due to the planet’s proximity to the Sun. Nevertheless, the fact that the planet’s orbit is so close to the Sun
makes Mercury a particularly interesting subject for extreme environmental conditions. Among a number of crucial scientific
topics to be addressed, Mercury’s exosphere, its interaction with the solar wind and its origin from the surface of the planet,
can provide important clues about planetary evolution. In fact, the Hermean exosphere is continuously eroded and refilled
by these interactions, so that it would be more proper to consider the Hermean environment as a single, unified system – surface-exosphere-magnetosphere.
These three parts are indeed strongly linked to each other. In recent years, the two missions scheduled to explore the iron
planet, the NASA MESSENGER mission (launched in March 2004) and the ESA cornerstone mission (jointly with JAXA) BepiColombo
(to be launched in 2012), have stimulated new interest in the many unresolved mysteries related to it. New ground-based observations,
made possible by new technologies, have been obtained, and new simulation studies have been performed. In this paper some
old as well as the very latest observations and studies related to the surface-exosphere-magnetosphere system are reviewed,
outlining the investigations achievable by the planned space-based observations. This review intends to support the studies,
in preparation of future data, and the definition of specific instrumentation. 相似文献
