The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) will make in-situ measurements of the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The consortium will provide the complementary data sets necessary for an understanding of the plasma processes in the inner
coma, and the structure and evolution of the coma with the increasing cometary activity. Five sensors have been selected to
achieve this: the Ion and Electron Sensor (IES), the Ion Composition Analyser (ICA), the Langmuir Probe (LAP), the Mutual
Impedance Probe (MIP) and the Magnetometer (MAG). The sensors interface to the spacecraft through the Plasma Interface Unit
(PIU). The consortium approach allows for scientific, technical and operational coordination, and makes optimum use of the
available mass and power resources. 相似文献

Chemical and physical processes in the outer solar nebula are reviewed. It is argued that the outer nebula was a chemically
active environment with UV photochemistry and ion-molecule chemistry in its low density regions and grain-catalyzed chemistry
in Jovian protoplanetary subnebulae. Presolar material was altered to greater or lesser extent by these spatially and temporally
variable processes, which mimic many features of interstellar chemistry. Experiments, models, and observations are recommended
to address the questions of presolar versus nebular dominance in the outer solar nebula and of how to distinguish interstellar
and nebular sources of cometary volatiles.

A fundamental goal of cometary studies is to determine the exact relationship between these bodies and the Solar System – the question(s) can be summarised as follows: did comets originate during the same events that spawned the Sun and planets, are they more primitive bodies that record a pre-solar history, or are they interstellar materials collected in relatively more recent times? Now, whatever the origin of comets, it is entirely possible that they could, in part, contain interstellar or pre-solar components – indeed, it seems rather likely in light of the fact that primitive meteorites contain such entities. These particular components are likely to be refractory (dust, macromolecular organic complexes, etc.). Of more relevance to the issues above are the volatile constituents, which make up the bulk of a comet's mass. Since these materials, by their very nature, volatilise during perihelion passage of a comet they can, in some instances, be detected and measured spectroscopically. Perhaps the most useful species for isotopic investigations are C2, HCN and CN. Unfortunately, spectroscopic measurements can only currently be made with accuracies of ±10 to ±20%. As such it is very often not practical to conclude anything further than the fact that isotopic measurements are compatible with ‘`solar’' values, which tends to imply an origin from the margins of the solar accretion disk. But there is another problem with the spectroscopic measurements – since these are made on gaseous species in the coma (and relatively minor species at that) it is impossible to be certain that these represent the true nuclear values. In other words, if the processes of sublimation, active jetting, and photochemistry in the coma impart isotopic fractionation, the spectroscopic measurements could give a false impression of the true isotope ratios. What is required is an experiment capable of measuring isotopic ratios at the very surface of a comet. Herein we describe the Ptolemy instrument, which is included on the Philae lander as part of the Rosetta mission to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The major objective of Ptolemy is a detailed appraisal of the nature and isotopic compositions of all materials present at the surface of a comet. 相似文献

The NASA Discovery Deep Impact mission involves a unique experiment designed to excavate pristine materials from below the
surface of comet. In July 2005, the Deep Impact (DI) spacecraft, will release a 360 kg probe that will collide with comet
9P/Tempel 1. This collision will excavate pristine materials from depth and produce a crater whose size and appearance will
provide fundamental insights into the nature and physical properties of the upper 20 to 40 m. Laboratory impact experiments
performed at the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range at NASA Ames Research Center were designed to assess the range of possible outcomes
for a wide range of target types and impact angles. Although all experiments were performed under terrestrial gravity, key
scaling relations and processes allow first-order extrapolations to Tempel 1. If gravity-scaling relations apply (weakly bonded
particulate near-surface), the DI impact could create a crater 70 m to 140 m in diameter, depending on the scaling relation
applied. Smaller than expected craters can be attributed either to the effect of strength limiting crater growth or to collapse
of an unstable (deep) transient crater as a result of very high porosity and compressibility. Larger then expected craters
could indicate unusually low density (< 0.3 g cm−3) or backpressures from expanding vapor. Consequently, final crater size or depth may not uniquely establish the physical
nature of the upper 20 m of the comet. But the observed ejecta curtain angles and crater morphology will help resolve this
ambiguity. Moreover, the intensity and decay of the impact “flash” as observed from Earth, space probes, or the accompanying
DI flyby instruments should provide critical data that will further resolve ambiguities. 相似文献

The cratering event produced by the Deep Impact mission is a unique experimental opportunity, beyond the capability of Earth-based
laboratories with regard to the impacting energy, target material, space environment, and extremely low-gravity field. Consequently,
impact cratering theory and modeling play an important role in this mission, from initial inception to final data analysis.
Experimentally derived impact cratering scaling laws provide us with our best estimates for the crater diameter, depth, and
formation time: critical in the mission planning stage for producing the flight plan and instrument specifications. Cratering
theory has strongly influenced the impactor design, producing a probe that should produce the largest possible crater on the
surface of Tempel 1 under a wide range of scenarios. Numerical hydrocode modeling allows us to estimate the volume and thermodynamic
characteristics of the material vaporized in the early stages of the impact. Hydrocode modeling will also aid us in understanding
the observed crater excavation process, especially in the area of impacts into porous materials. Finally, experimentally derived
ejecta scaling laws and modeling provide us with a means to predict and analyze the observed behavior of the material launched
from the comet during crater excavation, and may provide us with a unique means of estimating the magnitude of the comet’s
gravity field and by extension the mass and density of comet Tempel 1. 相似文献

The VIRTIS (Visual IR Thermal Imaging Spectrometer) experiment has been one of the most successful experiments built in Europe
for Planetary Exploration. VIRTIS, developed in cooperation among Italy, France and Germany, has been already selected as
a key experiment for 3 planetary missions: the ESA-Rosetta and Venus Express and NASA-Dawn. VIRTIS on board Rosetta and Venus
Express are already producing high quality data: as far as Rosetta is concerned, the Earth-Moon system has been successfully
observed during the Earth Swing-By manouver (March 2005) and furthermore, VIRTIS will collect data when Rosetta flies by Mars
in February 2007 at a distance of about 200 kilometres from the planet. Data from the Rosetta mission will result in a comparison
– using the same combination of sophisticated experiments – of targets that are poorly differentiated and are representative
of the composition of different environment of the primordial solar system. Comets and asteroids, in fact, are in close relationship
with the planetesimals, which formed from the solar nebula 4.6 billion years ago. The Rosetta mission payload is designed
to obtain this information combining in situ analysis of comet material, obtained by the small lander Philae, and by a long lasting and detailed remote sensing of the
comet, obtained by instrument on board the orbiting Spacecraft. The combination of remote sensing and in situ measurements will increase the scientific return of the mission. In fact, the “in situ” measurements will provide “ground-truth” for the remote sensing information, and, in turn, the locally collected data will
be interpreted in the appropriate context provided by the remote sensing investigation. VIRTIS is part of the scientific payload
of the Rosetta Orbiter and will detect and characterise the evolution of specific signatures – such as the typical spectral
bands of minerals and molecules – arising from surface components and from materials dispersed in the coma. The identification
of spectral features is a primary goal of the Rosetta mission as it will allow identification of the nature of the main constituent
of the comets. Moreover, the surface thermal evolution during comet approach to sun will be also studied. 相似文献

The ROSETTA Mission, the Planetary Cornerstone Mission in the European Space Agency’s long-term programme Horizon 2000, will
rendezvous in 2014 with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko close to its aphelion and will study the physical and chemical properties
of the nucleus, the evolution of the coma during the comet’s approach to the Sun, and the development of the interaction region
of the solar wind and the comet, for more than one year until it reaches perihelion. In addition to the investigations performed
by the scientific instruments on board the orbiter, the ROSETTA lander PHILAE will be deployed onto the surface of the nucleus.
On its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, ROSETTA will fly by and study the two asteroids 2867 Steins and 21 Lutetia. 相似文献
