卫星介质深层充电的两类计算模型对比分析

计算模拟是评估航天器介质深层充电危害的重要研究方法之一. 通过粒子输运 模拟, 可以得到特定空间辐射环境下介质中的电荷沉积分布, 进而根据电位/电 场计算模型, 得到深层充电结果. 前期研究多是围绕RIC (辐射诱导电导率)模 型及其改进模型展开的, 而目前通常采用基于电流守恒定律的简单计算模型. 为了研究二者关系, 给出其各自求解方法, 并采用已发表数据对计算结果进行 验证; 从理论上阐述了后者是RIC模型的进一步简化, 只要二者考虑相同的介 质电导率, 则对应计算结果就是一致的; 结合GEO恶劣电子辐射环境下平板介 质模型在三类边界条件下的充电情况, 进行了充分的仿真验证. 相关结论为介 质深层充电效应评估提供了有益参考.     

航天器介质放电脉冲频谱特征实验研究

空间电子辐射环境下,航天器介质的充放电效应是威胁航天器安全的重要因素.介质放电现象除与材料参数及构型相关外,还与空间电子环境密切相关.本文通过电子枪和Sr⁹⁰放射源在地面实验装置上模拟空间电子辐照环境,测试了环氧树脂、聚四氟乙烯、聚酰亚胺等常见空间材料在不同温度、不同电子能量和电子束流强度影响下的放电脉冲,并对放电电流脉冲和电场脉冲进行频谱分析.实验分析结果表明,介质材料的放电电流脉冲频谱具有明显的单峰结构,该峰值与材料厚度和入射电子能量相关,但受材料温度和辐照束流强度影响不大.     

利用热力学与统计物理方法研究电离层E层的形成

将太阳光子作为反应物引入电离层化学反应中, 运用化学热力学方法, 获得低电离层光化学反应的反应度及其化学平衡常数, 进而得到低电离层的电子密度, 并通过统计物理方法推导出相应的化学平衡常数. 结果显示, 运用热力学方法得到的低电离层电子密度与Chapman理论几乎完全一致, 表明利用热力学方法研究电离层的形成是可行的. 分别用热力学方法和统计物理方法得到的平衡常数之间存在一定的差异, 分析表明, 这是因为光化学过程中并非所有光子能量都转化成了电离能, 其中有一部分能量转化为热能或使粒子处于激发态, 这种差异的存在使利用统计物理方法推导电离层等离子体温度成为可能.

Comparison study of ductile iron produced with Martian regolith harvested iron from ionic liquids and Bosch byproduct carbon for in-situ resource utilization versus commercially available 65-45-12 ductile iron

As researchers continue to study methods to facilitate long-term missions beyond low-Earth orbit, the ability to manufacture high-quality mechanical and structural components on the Lunar and Martian surfaces remains a crucial piece to the puzzle for a sustained presence. Due to the immense cost of sending supplies to extraterrestrial bodies, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) methods are critical for the success and feasibility of these habitation missions. Ionic liquids (ILs) are currently being studied at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to harvest elemental metals from meteorites and regolith minerals. Additionally, the Bosch process is being explored as a life support system at MSFC for oxygen (O₂) regeneration, rendering a byproduct of elemental carbon (C). In this investigation, the viability of casting ductile iron (DI) using IL-sourced iron (IL-Fe) and Bosch C was studied given the range of applications and performance of DI as an as-cast alloy. Ingots were produced using commercial elements to simulate the use of IL-Fe with C sourced from the byproduct C of the Bosch process. Samples were cast and compared to commercially available 65–45-12 DI with phase transformation diagrams, microstructures, and hardness. Results showed that IL-sourced elements are a viable source of elemental alloying materials for a range of DI alloys, with some limitations.     

Influence of lunar regolith compressibility on sampling performance of thick wall spiral drills

A 2 m class robotic drill was sent to the Moon and successfully collected and returned regolith samples in late 2020 by China. It was a typical thick wall spiral drill (TWSD) with a hollow auger containing a complex coring system to retain subsurface regolith samples. Before the robotic drill was launched, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to investigate and predict the possible drilling loads it may encounter in the lunar environment. This work presents how the sampling performance of the TWSD is affected by the regolith compressibility. Experiments and analysis during the drilling and sampling process in a simulated lunar regolith environment were conducted. The compressibility of a typical lunar regolith simulant (LRS) was measured through uni-directional compression tests to study the relationship between its inner regolith stress and bulk density. A theoretical model was established to elucidate the cutting discharge behavior by auger flights based on the aforementioned relationship. Experiments were conducted with the LRS, and the results show that the sampling performance is greatly affected by the flux of the drilled cuttings into the spiral flight channels. This work helped in scheduling reasonable drilling parameters to promote the sampling performance of the robotic drill in the Chinese Chang'E 5 mission.
