Optimisation of X-ray proportional counters for Scanning Sky Monitor (SSM) on ASTROSAT

The Scanning Sky Monitor (SSM) on ASTROSAT is a position-sensitive gas-filled proportional counter with a wide field of view. The scientific objective of SSM is to scan the sky within few hours to detect and locate transient X-ray sources in the outburst phase. Once detected, this information will be provided for studies in all energy bands. The energy range of operation of SSM is 2–10 keV. The optimisation of the parameters of the proportional counter such as the cell size, the gas mixture and the gas pressure for the SSM are discussed here.

低轨星载粒子探测器布局优化研究

基于卫星工具包(STK)、MATLAB软件和国际地磁参考场(IGRF)模型,对粒子探测器在低轨卫星任务中的投掷角测量范围进行了仿真,并给出了其探测器的星上布局优化方法。研究结果表明:粒子探测器的星上布局选择与任务的探测目标相关。如果探测目标是束缚在磁场中作弹跳运动的粒子,应将探测器在朝向卫星轨道坐标系±Y轴的基础上向卫星的前进方向偏转;如果探测目标是处于损失锥中的沉降粒子,应将探测器在朝向卫星轨道坐标系-Y轴的基础上向天顶方向偏转;为实现全投掷角探测范围的探测,要使用多个探测器通过构型布局优化进行联合探测。文章提出的投掷角测量范围分析与优化方法,可推广到多种轨道高度的粒子探测卫星总体设计中,为提升卫星的总体分析设计水平提供支持。     

气浮陀螺空气轴承涡流力矩的有限元分析

气浮陀螺K0项漂移精度的控制一直是陀螺研制中的难点,而空气轴承涡流力矩是影响陀螺K0项漂移精度最主要因素。因此,本文根据气浮陀螺研制中的实际问题,结合机加工中空气轴承出现的误差形式,建立了空气轴承制造误差对涡流力矩影响的数学模型,并采用有限元方法分析了空气轴承制造误差对涡流力矩的影响规律,得出了浮子圆度误差和窄缝装配误差是引起涡流力矩最主要因素,并通过空气轴承结构参数与涡流力矩的灵敏度分析,得到了径向平均间隙和窄缝平均间隙结构参数的最优值。针对上述研究结论,提出了控制陀螺涡流力矩的技术方法,并通过试验验证了本文理论计算结果的正确性。

Laboratory calibration measurements of a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate cosmic dust detector at low velocities

A cosmic dust monitor for use onboard a spacecraft is currently being developed using a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate element (PZT). Its characteristics of the PZT sensor is studied by ground-based laboratory impact experiments using hypervelocity particles supplied by a Van de Graaff accelerator. The output signals obtained from the sensor just after the impact appeared to have a waveform that was explicitly related to the particle’s impact velocity. For velocities less than ∼6 km/s, the signal showed an oscillation pattern and the amplitude was proportional to the momentum of the impacting particle. For higher velocities, the signal gradually changed to a single waveform. The rise time of this single waveform was proportional to the particle’s velocity for velocities above ∼6 km/s. The present paper reports on results for the low velocity case and especially discusses the effect of an outer coating of the sensor with a paint, which is used to reduce heating by solar radiation.     

Instrument study of the Lunar Dust eXplorer (LDX) for a lunar lander mission

One of the highest-priority issues for a future human or robotic lunar exploration is the lunar dust. This problem should be studied in depth in order to develop an environment model for a future lunar exploration. A future ESA lunar lander mission requires the measurement of dust transport phenomena above the lunar surface. Here, we describe an instrument design concept to measure slow and fast moving charged lunar dust which is based on the principle of charge induction. LDX has a low mass and measures the speed and trajectory of individual dust particles with sizes below one micrometer. Furthermore, LDX has an impact ionization target to monitor the interplanetary dust background. The sensor consists of three planes of segmented grid electrodes and each electrode is connected to an individual charge sensitive amplifier. Numerical signals were computed using the Coulomb software package. The LDX sensitive area is approximately 400 cm². Our simulations reveal trajectory uncertainties of better than 2° with an absolute position accuracy of better than 2 mm.

“嫦娥1号”（CE-1）、“嫦娥2号”（CE-2）都安装了1台太阳高能粒子探测器（High-energetic ParticlesDetectors,HPD）和2台太阳风离子探测器（Solar Wind Ion Detectors,SWIDs）,进行了月球轨道200 km和100 km空间环境探测,获得了月球轨道空间高能带电粒子（质子、电子和重离子）能谱随时间的演化特征、等离子体与月球相互作用特征以及太阳风离子速度、密度和温度参量。空间环境探测数据分析结果表明：太阳活动低年、空间环境扰动水平相对较低、月球处于太阳风中时,近月空间带电粒子环境的基本特征与行星际空间相比变化不大。CE-1、CE-2在轨运行期间,发现了多起0.1～2 MeV能量电子急剧增加事件,这些事件发生在月球从太阳风运动到磁尾的所有空间区域,其中20%的事件伴随着卫星周围等离子体离子加速。模拟和统计研究表明：能量电子急剧增加使得绕月卫星和月球表面电位大幅下降导致了离子加速现象的发生;能量电子总流量大于10¹¹ cm^-2时,绕月卫星和月球表面充电电位可达负的上千伏。此外,月表溅射与反射太阳风离子、太阳风“拾起”离子等空间环境事件的发现,揭示了太阳风离子和月球存在复杂的相互作用过程。
