空间短时飞行试验工具的应用与展望

空间短时飞行试验是指以探空火箭、气球、亚轨道重复发射工具等为主要实现手段,将待试验对象发射到一定高度,进行科学实验和技术验证的研究方法。对空间短时飞行试验工具的发展历史和应用现状进行综述,对探空火箭、气球、亚轨道重复发射工具在科学观测、新技术试验中发挥的作用进行总结和概括,以NASA飞行机会计划FOP为例,对其在有效载荷技术成熟度评估中的应用情况进行了重点阐述,结合我国空间科学探测和空间技术试验的迫切需求,对空间短时飞行试验工具在我国的应用前景进行了展望和预测。

Application and Prospect of Short Term Flight Testing Tools

Short-term flight test in space refers to the scientific explorer and technical verification methods with sounding rockets, balloons, sub-orbital reusable launch vehicles and other means launched to a certain height. The development history and application status of space short-term flight testing tools were reviewed, and the role in scientific observation and new technology verification were summarized. Taking NASA FOP (Flight Opportunities Program) as an example, the application in the payloads technical readiness assessment was emphatically described. Combined with the requirements in space science exploration and space technical verification, the application of space short-term flight testing tools in China was prospected and predicted.
