Progress of Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer(SMILE) Mission

SMILE (Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) mission is a joint ESA-CAS space science project. The working orbit is a 19 R_e 5000 km HEO with 4 scientific instruments:Soft X-ray Imager(SXI), Ultra-Violet Imager (UVI), Magnetometer (MAG) and Light Ion Analyzer (LIA). SMILE aims to understand the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere through the images of SXI and UVI and in-situ measurement from LIA and MAG. After the kick-off in 2016, the SMILE project went to Phase A study. The mission adoption is scheduled for November 2018, with a target launch date in 2022-2023. In this paper, the background of the mission, scientific objectives, the design and characteristics of scientific instruments and the mission outline will be introduced in details.      

Progress of Strategic Priority Program on Space Science

The Strategic Priority Program on Space Science in 2011-2017 (hereafter referred to as SPP I), which officially went ahead in 2011, marks that a new chapter of Chinese space endeavor has been opened. The 4 satellites, Wukong/DAMPE, SJ-10, Mozi/QUESS and Insight/HXMT, has been achieving promising scientific results since their launch, e.g., Wukong directly detected a break in the teraelectronvolt cosmic-ray spectrum of electrons and positrons. To enable the sustainable development of China's space science endeavor, the Strategic Priority Program Ⅱ on Space Science (hereafter referred to as SPP Ⅱ) was officially approved in late 2017. SPP Ⅱ includes 4 satellites-EP, ASO-S, SMILE and GECAM, Intensive Study of Future Space Science Missions, Advanced Research of Space Science Missions and Payloads, Space Science Mission Concept Research, and Data Analysis Research. Dedicated to exploring the unknown, the program is aiming to address scientific questions such as the origin and evolution of the universe and life, search for extraterrestrial life, and the impact of the Sun and the solar system on Earth and human development. Chinese space science community is committed to contributing to the progress of human civilization.      

Recent Advances in Observation and Research of the Chinese Meridian Project

The Chinese Meridian Space Weather Monitoring Project (Meridian Project) is a ground-based geospace monitoring chain in China. It consists of 15 ground-based observation stations located roughly along 120°E longitude and 30°N latitude. In recent two years, using data from the Meridian Project, significant progress has been made in space weather and space physics research. These advances are mainly in four aspects:regional characteristics of space environment above China or along 120°E meridian line, coupling between space spheres at different heights and different physical processes, space weather disturbance and its propagation along the meridian chain, and space weather effects on ground technical facilities.      

ICMEs Likely From the Same Active Region Observed by Both Helios 1 and IMP 8

The chance of an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) observed by widely-separated spacecraft is rare. However, such an event provides us a good opportunity to study the propagation and evolution of ICMEs in the heliosphere. On day 72 of 1975, an ICME was observed by Helios 1 at 0.3 AU, while a similar solar wind structure was observed by IMP 8 at Earth on day 70 of 1975. On the basis of comparison of the plasma signatures and the transit time from Helios 1 to IMP 8, we hypothesize the observed ICMEs by both spacecraft are resulted from the same active region on the solar surface. A one-dimensional MHD model was used to track the ICME from Helios 1 (0.3 AU) to Earth. The observed plasma profiles and timing are close to those predicted by our MHD model and thus, give the supports to the model.      

垂直激波条件下能量粒子加速机制的模拟研究

在具有湍动的磁场和垂直激波条件下对大量测试粒子的轨迹进行了数值计算,研究了激波强度和粒子初始能量对于粒子穿越激波的平均能量变化的影响,分析了漂移加速(SDA)在不同条件下对粒子加速的贡献,并给出了一个与数值结果相符合的漂移加速理论公式△E=amvivup(1-1/s).结果表明,加入磁场湍流后,垂直激波条件下粒子仍主要受到漂移加速作用,而基于粒子引导中心的耗散漂移加速理论在此条件下失效.      

一种十字阵列模型下的新型测向算法

为提高精确制导的实时性,实现空间谱测向,提出了一种新型的正交传播算子算法(propagator method,PM)。该算法基于十字型阵列模型,引入了噪声子空间的投影算子构造伪谱,并采用一维谱峰搜索实现二维测向。与利用二维谱峰搜索测向的二维PM算法相比,该算法大大减少了计算量,降低了计算复杂度,可实现多目标信号测向,解决了二维角度的配对问题,也可有效估计出相同方位角(或仰角)的目标。该算法可广泛应用在雷达测向、导引头测向及跟踪等。     

多斜孔平板总冷却效率及其梯度分布试验研究

为了发展燃烧室先进冷却技术,在吹风比0.35～3.28下试验研究了多斜孔平板的总冷却效率及其梯度。研究所用的多斜孔平板具有与典型航空发动机燃烧室相似的交叉排列多斜孔布局,但采用低导热系数材料制成,以展示和分析多斜孔平板的传热过程。采用红外成像技术测量了多斜孔平板的表面2维温度场,从而获得壁面总冷却效率及其梯度的分布。试验结果表明:随着吹风比从0.35增大到3.28,多斜孔平板在充分发展区域的展向平均冷却效率从0.61先增大到0.70后减小到0.67,原因是总冷却效率实质上得益于多斜孔内部的对流换热和冷却气膜的覆壁保护作用。

整体壁板时效成形的回弹预测及模面补偿技术

时效成形是一种用于制造飞机整体壁板零件的成形工艺。由于其具有回弹量大的特点,需要开发一种准确预测成形后回弹量的方法,并在此基础上对模具型面进行补偿,以消除回弹对成形精度的影响。本文将有限元法应用于网格式高筋壁板时效成形及回弹的分析,并通过实验验证了有限元预测回弹量的准确性。提出了一种基于有限元回弹预测的适用于铝合金时效成形的模具型面补偿算法,并应用该算法进行了复杂高筋整体壁板局部件时效成形的修模计算分析。通过9次迭代计算,零件成形误差减小到0.4 mm以内,证明了该算法具有收敛速度快、精度高的优点。
