采用弱攻角补偿与脱敏设计的火星进入段制导

为提升火星进入段存在多种扰动时的制导末端精度,在现有三自由度脱敏设计的基础上,提出针对大气密度及升阻力系数波动的弱攻角补偿方法。通过攻角调整,协调升、阻力加速度测量值相对理论计算值的偏离程度,使加权形式的偏离程度指标趋近于1,从而降低气动参数波动对制导精度的影响。相平面分析和反证法证明了攻角调整过程的稳定性。蒙特卡洛仿真结果表明,该方法可达到较高的纵向末端状态精度。     

一种图像辅助火星着陆段自主导航方法

针对未来深空探测软着陆高精度实时导航的需求,提出了一种图像辅助的自主导航方案。首先通过下降段图像与落点区域地形匹配,获得着陆器相对于落点的位置和姿态;然后基于误差Kalman模型估计着陆器的状态误差,修正惯性导航的结果;在图像信息不可用的情况下,只进行惯性递推导航;这种方案既提高了导航的精度,也能保证实时性的要求。 数值仿真验证了该方案的可行性,该方案对未来实际工程任务具有很大的参考价值。

Gravitational wave detection on the Moon and the moons of Mars

The Moon and the moons of Mars should be extremely quiet seismically and could therefore become sensitive gravitational wave detectors, if instrumented properly. Highly sensitive displacement sensors could be deployed on these planetary bodies to monitor the motion induced by gravitational waves. A superconducting displacement sensor with a 10-kg test mass cooled to 2 K will have an intrinsic instrument noise of 10⁻¹⁶ m Hz^−1/2. These sensors could be tuned to the lowest two quadrupole modes of the body or operated as a wideband detector below its fundamental mode. An interesting frequency range is 0.1–1 Hz, which will be missed by both the ground detectors on the Earth and LISA and would be the best window for searching for stochastic background gravitational waves. Phobos and Deimos have their lowest quadrupole modes at 0.2–0.3 Hz and could offer a sensitivity h_min ? 10⁻²² Hz^−1/2 within their resonance peaks, which is within two orders of magnitude from the goal of the Big Bang Observer (BBO). The lunar and Martian moon detectors would detect many interesting foreground sources in a new frequency window and could serve as a valuable precursor for BBO.     

Development of a gas chromatography compatible Sample Processing System (SPS) for the in-situ analysis of refractory organic matter in martian soil: preliminary results

In the frame of the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission a new sample preparation system (SPS) compatible with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) has been developed for the in situ analysis of complex organic molecules in the Martian soil. The goal is to detect, if they exist, some of the key compounds that play an important role in life on Earth including carboxylic acids, amino acids and nucleobases.

Comparative assessment of human–Mars-mission technologies and architectures

We compare a variety of mission scenarios to assess the strengths and weaknesses of options for Mars exploration. The mission design space is modeled along two dimensions: trajectory architectures and propulsion system technologies. We examine direct, semi-direct, stop-over, semi-cycler, and cycler architectures, and we include electric propulsion, nuclear thermal rockets, methane and oxygen production on Mars, Mars water excavation, aerocapture, and reusable propulsion systems in our technology assessment. The mission sensitivity to crew size, vehicle masses, and crew travel time is also examined. Many different combinations of technologies and architectures are applied to the same Mars mission to determine which combinations provide the greatest potential reduction in the injected mass to LEO. We approximate the technology readiness level of a mission to rank development risk, but omit development cost and time calculations in our assessment. It is found that Earth–Mars semi-cyclers and cyclers require the least injected mass to LEO of any architecture and that the discovery of accessible water on Mars has the most dramatic effect on the evolution of Mars exploration.
