The solar system is apparently stratified with regard to the contents of volatile constituents, as judged from the rocky,
volatile-poor inner solar system planets and meteorites and the huge volatile-rich outer planets. However, beyond this gross
structure there is no evidence for a systematic increase of the volatiles' abundances with distance from the Sun. Although
meteorites show comparatively large differences in volatile element contents they also differ in many other respects, such
as Mg/Si-ratios, bulk Fe and refractory element contents. These variations reflect variations in the nebular environment from
which meteorites formed. The various conditions of meteorite formation cannot, however, be related in a simple way to heliocentric
distances.
There are also no systematic variations in the chemistry of the inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, and including
the fourth largest asteroid Vesta, that could be interpreted as a relationship between volatility and composition. Although
Mars (as judged from the composition of Martian meteorites) is more oxidized and contains more volatile elements than Earth,
this trend cannot be extrapolated to the dry volatile poor Vesta (sampled by HED meteorites) in the asteroid belt. If the
Earth-Mars trend reflects global inner solar system gradients then Vesta must have formed inside Earth's orbit and moved out
later to its present location. The quality of Mercury and Venus composition data is not sufficient to allow reliable extrapolation
to distances closer to the Sun.
Recent nebula models predict small temperature gradients in the inner solar system supporting the view that no large variations
in volatile element contents of inner solar system materials are expected.

In view of the low H2O abundance in the present Venusian and Martian atmospheres several observations by spacecraft and studies suggest that both
planets should have lost most of their water over the early active period of the young Sun. During the first Gyr after the
Sun arrived at the Zero- Age-Main-Sequence high X-ray and EUV fluxes between 10 and 100 times that of the present Sun were
responsible for much higher temperatures in the thermosphere-exosphere environments on both planets. By applying a diffusive-gravitational
equilibrium and thermal balance model for investigating radiation impact on the early thermospheres by photodissociation and
ionization processes, due to exothermic chemical reactions and cooling by CO2 IR emission in the 15μm band we found expanded thermospheres with exobase levels between about 200 km (present) and 2000
km (4.5 Gyr ago). The higher temperatures in the upper atmospheres of both planets could reach “blow-off” conditions for H
atoms even at high CO2 mixing ratios of 96%. Lower CO2/N2 mixing ratio or higher contents of H2O vapor in the early atmospheres could have had a dramatic impact from the loss of atmosphere
and water on both planets. The duration of this phase of high thermal loss rates essentially depended on the mixing ratios
of CO2, N2, and H2O in the early atmospheres and could have lasted between about 150 and several hundred Myr. 相似文献

The Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) is part of the remote sensing payload of the Cassini orbiter spacecraft. UVIS has two spectrographic channels that provide images and spectra covering the ranges from 56 to 118 nm and 110 to 190 nm. A third optical path with a solar blind CsI photocathode is used for high signal-to-noise-ratio stellar occultations by rings and atmospheres. A separate Hydrogen Deuterium Absorption Cell measures the relative abundance of deuterium and hydrogen from their Lyman-α emission. The UVIS science objectives include investigation of the chemistry, aerosols, clouds, and energy balance of the Titan and Saturn atmospheres; neutrals in the Saturn magnetosphere; the deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratio for Titan and Saturn; icy satellite surface properties; and the structure and evolution of Saturn’s rings.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected cover date. 相似文献

In this work, we evaluate the exploration of the Solar system by ad hoc wireless sensor networks (WSN), i.e., networks where all nodes (either moving or stationary) can both provide and relay data. The two aspects of self-organization and localization are the major challenges to achieve a reliable network for a variety of missions. We point out the diversity of environmental and operational constrains that WSN used for space exploration would face.We evaluate two groups of scenarios consisting in static or moving sensing nodes that can be either located on the ground or in the atmosphere of a Solar-system object. These scenarios enable collecting data simultaneously over a large surface or volume.We consider physical and chemical sensing of the atmosphere, surface and soil using such networks. Emerging technologies such as nodes localization techniques are reviewed. Finally, we compare the specific requirements of WSN for space exploration with those of WSN designed for terrestrial applications. 相似文献

It has been speculated that the composition of the exosphere is related to the composition of Mercury’s crustal materials.
If this relationship is true, then inferences regarding the bulk chemistry of the planet might be made from a thorough exospheric
study. The most vexing of all unsolved problems is the uncertainty in the source of each component. Historically, it has been
believed that H and He come primarily from the solar wind (Goldstein, B.E., et al. in J. Geophys. Res. 86:5485–5499, 1981), Na and K come from volatilized materials partitioned between Mercury’s crust and meteoritic impactors (Hunten, D.M., et
al. in Mercury, pp. 562–612, 1988; Morgan, T.H., et al. in Icarus 74:156–170, 1988; Killen, R.M., et al. in Icarus 171:1–19, 2004b). The processes that eject atoms and molecules into the exosphere of Mercury are generally considered to be thermal vaporization,
photon-stimulated desorption (PSD), impact vaporization, and ion sputtering. Each of these processes has its own temporal
and spatial dependence. The exosphere is strongly influenced by Mercury’s highly elliptical orbit and rapid orbital speed.
As a consequence the surface undergoes large fluctuations in temperature and experiences differences of insolation with longitude.
Because there is no inclination of the orbital axis, there are regions at extreme northern and southern latitudes that are
never exposed to direct sunlight. These cold regions may serve as traps for exospheric constituents or for material that is
brought in by exogenic sources such as comets, interplanetary dust, or solar wind, etc. The source rates are dependent not
only on temperature and composition of the surface, but also on such factors as porosity, mineralogy, and space weathering.
They are not independent of each other. For instance, ion impact may create crystal defects which enhance diffusion of atoms
through the grain, and in turn enhance the efficiency of PSD. The impact flux and the size distribution of impactors affects
regolith turnover rates (gardening) and the depth dependence of vaporization rates. Gardening serves both as a sink for material
and as a source for fresh material. This is extremely important in bounding the rates of the other processes. Space weathering
effects, such as the creation of needle-like structures in the regolith, will limit the ejection of atoms by such processes
as PSD and ion-sputtering. Therefore, the use of laboratory rates in estimates of exospheric source rates can be helpful but
also are often inaccurate if not modified appropriately. Porosity effects may reduce yields by a factor of three (Cassidy,
T.A., and Johnson, R.E. in Icarus 176:499–507, 2005). The loss of all atomic species from Mercury’s exosphere other than H and He must be by non-thermal escape. The relative
rates of photo-ionization, loss of photo-ions to the solar wind, entrainment of ions in the magnetosphere and direct impact
of photo-ions to the surface are an area of active research. These source and loss processes will be discussed in this chapter. 相似文献

The reasoning which led to the particular slot structure defined for the collision avoidance system specified by the Air Transportation Association Collision Avoidance System Technical Working Group is discussed. The objectives were to choose a slot length that would 1) minimize the probability of interference, 2) maximize the capacity of the information channel (as measured by the number of messages received in a unit of time). Interference can be manifested by the garbling of either the collision avoidance message or the synchronization signals. 相似文献

The heating of the upper atmospheres and the formation of the ionospheres on Venus and Mars are mainly controlled by the solar
X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation (λ = 0.1–102.7 nm and can be characterized by the 10.7 cm solar radio flux).
Previous estimations of the average Martian dayside exospheric temperature inferred from topside plasma scale heights, UV
airglow and Lyman-α dayglow observations of up to ∼500 K imply a stronger dependence on solar activity than that found on
Venus by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) and Magellan spacecraft. However, this dependence appears to be inconsistent with
exospheric temperatures (<250 K) inferred from aerobraking maneuvers of recent spacecraft like Mars Pathfinder, Mars Global
Surveyor and Mars Odyssey during different solar activity periods and at different orbital locations of the planet. In a similar
way, early Lyman-α dayglow and UV airglow observations by Venera 4, Mariner 5 and 10, and Venera 9–12 at Venus also suggested
much higher exospheric temperatures of up to 1000 K as compared with the average dayside exospheric temperature of about 270
K inferred from neutral gas mass spectrometry data obtained by PVO. In order to compare Venus and Mars, we estimated the dayside
exobase temperature of Venus by using electron density profiles obtained from the PVO radio science experiment during the
solar cycle and found the Venusian temperature to vary between 250–300 K, being in reasonable agreement with the exospheric
temperatures inferred from Magellan aerobraking data and PVO mass spectrometer measurements. The same method has been applied
to Mars by studying the solar cycle variation of the ionospheric peak plasma density observed by Mars Global Surveyor during
both solar minimum and maximum conditions, yielding a temperature range between 190–220 K. This result clearly indicates that
the average Martian dayside temperature at the exobase does not exceed a value of about 240 K during high solar activity conditions
and that the response of the upper atmosphere temperature on Mars to solar activity near the ionization maximum is essentially
the same as on Venus. The reason for this discrepancy between exospheric temperature determinations from topside plasma scale
heights and electron distributions near the ionospheric maximum seems to lie in the fact that thermal and photochemical equilibrium
applies only at altitudes below 170 km, whereas topside scale heights are derived for much higher altitudes where they are
modified by transport processes and where local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions are violated. Moreover, from simulating
the energy density distribution of photochemically produced moderately energetic H, C and O atoms, as well as CO molecules,
we argue that exospheric temperatures inferred from Lyman-α dayglow and UV airglow observations result in too high values,
because these particles, as well as energetic neutral atoms, transformed from solar wind protons into hydrogen atoms via charge
exchange, may contribute to the observed planetary hot neutral gas coronae. Because the low exospheric temperatures inferred
from neutral gas mass spectrometer and aerobraking data, as well as from CO+
2 UV doublet emissions near 180–260 nm obtained from the Mars Express SPICAM UV spectrograph suggest rather low heating efficiencies,
some hitherto unidentified additional IR-cooling mechanism in the thermospheres of both Venus and Mars is likely to exist.

In October 2004, more than 130 terrestrial and planetary scientists met in Jackson Hole, WY, to discuss early Mars. The first billion years of martian geologic history is of particular interest because it is a period during which the planet was most active, after which a less dynamic period ensued that extends to the present day. The early activity left a fascinating geological record, which we are only beginning to unravel through direct observation and modeling. In considering this time period, questions outnumber answers, and one of the purposes of the meeting was to gather some of the best experts in the field to consider the current state of knowledge, ascertain which questions remain to be addressed, and identify the most promising approaches to addressing those questions. The purpose of this report is to document that discussion. Throughout the planet's first billion years, planetary-scale processes-including differentiation, hydrodynamic escape, volcanism, large impacts, erosion, and sedimentation-rapidly modified the atmosphere and crust. How did these processes operate, and what were their rates and interdependencies? The early environment was also characterized by both abundant liquid water and plentiful sources of energy, two of the most important conditions considered necessary for the origin of life. Where and when did the most habitable environments occur? Did life actually occupy them, and if so, has life persisted on Mars to the present? Our understanding of early Mars is critical to understanding how the planet we see today came to be. 相似文献

Conclusions Passive observation of the naturally occurring γ-ray and X-ray from the planets is potentially an important technique for
determining their gross chemical composition and on the basis of natural γ-radiation determining if the planetary surface
is composed of differential material. If the planet is not covered by a thick atmosphere then it is possible to map the distribution
of the most abundant elements on a scale of spatial resolution that is of the order of the altitude at which the observations
are made. Initial observations carried out from lunar orbit have shown that the flux levels are approximately as expected
and that the lunar surface is not characterized by any widespread distribution of acidic rocks in the region observed by the
Luna 10 spacecraft. 相似文献
