月尘对热控系统的退化影响

月尘对热控系统的退化影响直接威胁到探测器在月面的生存,是探测器热控系统设计时所必须考虑的技术重点和难点之一。随着我国探月工程的深入,急需开展月尘对热控系统影响程度的研究,文章在调研的基础上,阐述了目前国内外在月尘的特性、危害性和防护方面的研究现状,并探讨了针对月面探测器设计上的一些可行的防尘措施。

Degradation Effects of the Lunar Dust on Thermal Control System

The lunar surface presents a very harsh thermal environment which presents a significant challenge for the thermal control system of lunar lander. One of the serious problems that must be considered in lander design is that the lunar dust could greatly degrade the performance of the thermal control surfaces,and even the survival capability of the lander. A better understanding of the impact of lunar dust on the performance of thermal control system is needed as the lunar exploration of China is deepened. This paper presents a review of the degradation of thermal control systems encountered on the lunar surface to-date,and finally discusses the dust mitigation techniques for protection of thermal control system surfaces.
