Genesis (NASA Discovery Mission #5) is a sample return mission. Collectors comprised of ultra-high purity materials will be
exposed to the solar wind and then returned to Earth for laboratory analysis. There is a suite of fifteen types of ultra-pure
materials distributed among several locations. Most of the materials are mounted on deployable panels (‘collector arrays’),
with some as targets in the focal spot of an electrostatic mirror (the ‘concentrator’). Other materials are strategically
placed on the spacecraft as additional targets of opportunity to maximize the area for solar-wind collection.
Most of the collection area consists of hexagonal collectors in the arrays; approximately half are silicon, the rest are for
solar-wind components not retained and/or not easily measured in silicon. There are a variety of materials both in collector
arrays and elsewhere targeted for the analyses of specific solar-wind components.
Engineering and science factors drove the selection process. Engineering required testing of physical properties such as the
ability to withstand shaking on launch and thermal cycling during deployment. Science constraints included bulk purity, surface
and interface cleanliness, retentiveness with respect to individual solar-wind components, and availability.
A detailed report of material parameters planned as a resource for choosing materials for study will be published on a Genesis
website, and will be updated as additional information is obtained. Some material is already linked to the Genesis plasma
data website (genesis.lanl.gov). Genesis should provide a reservoir of materials for allocation to the scientific community
throughout the 21st Century.

Analysis of the Genesis samples is underway. Preliminary elemental abundances based on Genesis sample analyses are in good
agreement with in situ-measured elemental abundances made by ACE/SWICS during the Genesis collection period. Comparison of
these abundances with those of earlier solar cycles indicates that the solar wind composition is relatively stable between
cycles for a given type of flow. ACE/SWICS measurements for the Genesis collection period also show a continuum in compositional
variation as a function of velocity for the quasi-stationary flow that defies the simple binning of samples into their sources
of coronal hole (CH) and interstream (IS). 相似文献

The Genesis mission returned samples of solar wind to Earth in September 2004 for ground-based analyses of solar-wind composition,
particularly for isotope ratios. Substrates, consisting mostly of high-purity semiconductor materials, were exposed to the
solar wind at L1 from December 2001 to April 2004. In addition to a bulk sample of the solar wind, separate samples of coronal
hole (CH), interstream (IS), and coronal mass ejection material were obtained. Although many substrates were broken upon landing
due to the failure to deploy the parachute, a number of results have been obtained, and most of the primary science objectives
will likely be met. These objectives include He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe isotope ratios in the bulk solar wind and in different
solar-wind regimes, and 15N/14N and 18O/17O/16O to high precision. The greatest successes to date have been with the noble gases. Light noble gases from bulk solar wind
and separate solar-wind regime samples have now been analyzed. Helium results show clear evidence of isotopic fractionation
between CH and IS samples, consistent with simplistic Coulomb drag theory predictions of fractionation between the photosphere
and different solar-wind regimes, though fractionation by wave heating is also a possible explanation. Neon results from closed
system stepped etching of bulk metallic glass have revealed the nature of isotopic fractionation as a function of depth, which
in lunar samples have for years deceptively suggested the presence of an additional, energetic component in solar wind trapped
in lunar grains and meteorites. Isotope ratios of the heavy noble gases, nitrogen, and oxygen are in the process of being
measured. 相似文献
