This paper describes the scientific objectives and payloads of Tianwen-1, China’s first exploration mission to Mars. An orbiter, carrying a lander and a rover, lifted-off in July 2020 for a journey to Mars where it should arrive in February 2021. A suite of 13 scientific payloads, for in-situ and remote sensing, autonomously commanded by integrated payload controllers and mounted on the orbiter and the rover will study the magnetosphere and ionosphere of Mars and the relation with the solar wind, the atmosphere, surface and subsurface of the planet, looking at the topography, composition and structure and in particular for subsurface ice. The mission will also investigate Mars climate history. It is expected that Tianwen-1 will contribute significantly to advance our scientific knowledge of Mars.     

PBT弹性体微相分离及对其力学性能的影响研究

为了获得微相分离对宽温PBT叠氮聚醚弹性体力学性能的影响规律,用红外光谱分析法(FT-IR)和动态热力学分析法(DMA)研究了PBT叠氮聚醚弹性体产生微相分离的机理和影响因素。用调节硬段含量、交联参数的方法调控其微相分离,控制适当的微相分离程度可显著改善推进剂的力学性能。研究结果表明:在二元醇扩链的弹性体体系中,当硬段含量约为15%时,弹性体发生相对最大比例的微相分离,体现出较佳的综合力学性能。通过微相分离的调控可获得宽温范围内综合力学性能较好的叠氮聚醚推进剂用粘合剂基体材料。     

收集处理方法对含铝固体推进剂凝相燃烧产物特性影响

含铝固体推进剂凝相燃烧产物特性对固体火箭发动机的燃烧效率、燃烧稳定性和绝热安全性等影响重大。为获得准确可靠的凝相燃烧产物的理化特性,利用定压燃烧装置来收集凝相燃烧产物,采用马尔文激光粒度分析仪、扫描电镜及X射线衍射仪对产物进行表征,研究收集介质、干燥处理和超声分散对凝相燃烧产物性质的影响。结果表明,使用水收集获得的凝相燃烧产物平均粒度与氮气收集条件下相比大60%,水收集法适用于研究推进剂近燃面凝相燃烧产物。干燥处理能保证凝相燃烧产物样品中大尺寸颗粒的有效取样,在粒度测试之前需要对样品进行干燥处理来获取准确的凝相燃烧产物粒度分布数据。超声分散会导致大颗粒团聚物含量降低,小颗粒团聚物含量升高,最终显著降低凝相燃烧产物平均粒径。粒度测试时,在80kHz条件下,超声分散参数设定为40 W,5 min较为合适。基于研究结果,提出了一套科学合理的凝相燃烧产物收集处理方法。     

磁场对高电压霍尔推力器性能影响研究

为研究磁场构型、磁场强度对高电压霍尔推力器主要性能的影响机理,以HET-200推力器为对象,采用固定磁场构型和不固定磁场构型两种方案进行实验研究。结果表明,在不固定构型的情况下增强磁场,放电电流存在两个极小值,效率也存在相应的两个极大值;但当固定磁场构型时,则放电电流只有一个最小值,效率也只有一个最大值。以最优效率下的磁场构型为基准,获得了磁场与电压、磁场与流量的匹配关系分别为B_(r, max)∝V~(0.7),B_(r, max)∝m。

基于改进SSD的舰船目标精细化检测方法

以SSD为代表的主流深度学习方法在目标检测领域取得了显著的成绩，但由于该类方法只能以矩形框给出目标的概略位置，检测结果具有很大的背景冗余区域，特别是港口密集停泊的舰船在图像中会出现区域重叠，导致误检和漏检。针对以上问题，提出了一种具有旋转不变性的舰船目标精细化检测方法，该方法综合利用可变形卷积、可变形池化、旋转的边框回归和旋转的非极大值抑制等模块的优点，借鉴MobileNet架构对网络加速，通过学习密集区域目标的几何形变，有效预测目标的旋转角度，最终以旋转的矩形框给出目标的位置。实验结果表明，该算法可实现多类舰船目标类型区分和目标朝向判定的功能，有效地解决了实际应用中的目标精确定位定向难题，提高了自动目标识别的精确性，并满足工程应用的实时性要求。     

Early analysis of precise orbit and clock offset determination for the satellites of the global BeiDou-3 system

Eight new-generation BeiDou satellites (BeiDou-3) have been launched into Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), allowing for global coverage since March 2018, and they are equipped with new hydrogen atomic clocks and updated rubidium clocks. Firstly, we analyzed the signals for the carrier-to-noise-density ratio (C/N0) and pseudorange multipath (MP) by using international GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Monitoring and Assessment System (iGMAS) station data, and found that B1C has a lower C/N0, and B2a has the same level of C/N0 as the B1I and B3I signals. For pseudorange multipath, compared with the BeiDou-2 satellites, the obvious systematic variation of MP scatters related to the elevation angle is greatly improved for the BeiDou-3 and BeiDou-3e satellites signals. For the signals of the BeiDou-3 satellites, the order of the Root Mean Square (RMS) values of multipath and noise is B3I?<?B1I?<?B2a?<?B1C. Then, the comparison of the precise orbit determination and clock offset determination for the BeiDou-2, BeiDou-3, and BeiDou-3 experimental (BeiDou-3e) satellites was done by using 10 stations from iGMAS. The 3D precision of the 24?h orbit overlap is 24.55, 25.61, and 23.35?cm for the BeiDou-3, BeiDou-3e, and BeiDou-2 satellites, respectively. BeiDou-3 satellite has a comparable precision to that of the BeiDou-2 satellite. For the precision of clock offset estimation, the Standard Deviation (STD) of the BeiDou-3 MEO satellite is 0.350?ns, which is an improvement of 0.042?ns over that of the BeiDou-2 MEO satellite. The stabilities of the BeiDou-3 and BeiDou-3e onboard clocks are better than those of BeiDou-2 by factors of 2.84 and 1.61 at an averaging time of 1000 and 10,000?s, respectively.

RTK model and positioning performance analysis using Galileo four-frequency observations

This paper proposes a real-time kinematic (RTK) model that uses one common reference satellite for the Galileo system with four frequency observations. In the proposed model, the double-differenced (DD) pseudorange and carrier phase biases among the different frequencies are estimated as unknown parameters to recover the integer features of the DD ambiguities among the different frequencies for ambiguity resolution and precise positioning. Analysis results show that the E5a, E5b, and E5 frequencies have virtually the same performance in terms of the positioning accuracy, observation residuals, and ratio values of ambiguity resolution. However, the E1 frequency performs worse than the E5a, E5b, and E5 frequencies. The RTK results for the combination of multiple frequencies are much better than those for a single-frequency observation, the coordinates’ standard deviation is improved about 20–30%, and the ambiguity fix time is improved about 10%.
