Current status of X-ray spectrometer development in the SELENE project

The X-ray spectrometer (XRS) on the SELENE (SELenological and ENgineering Explorer) spacecraft, XRS, will observe fluorescent X-rays from the lunar surface. The energy of the fluorescent X-ray depends on the elements of which the lunar soil consists, therefore we can determine elemental composition of the upper most lunar surface. The XRS consists of three components: XRF-A, SOL-B, and SOL-C. XRF-A is the main sensor to observe X-rays from the lunar surface. SOL-B is direct monitor of Solar X-ray using Si-PIN photodiode. SOL-C is another Solar X-ray monitor but observes the X-rays from the standard sample attached on the base plate. This enables us to analyze by a comparative method similar to typical laboratory XRF methods. XRF-A and SOL-C adopt charge coupled device as an X-ray detector which depletion layer is deep enough to detect X-rays. The X-ray spectra were obtained by the flight model of XRS components, and all components has been worked well to analyze fluorescent X-rays. Currently, development of the hardware and software of the XRS has been finished and we are preparing for system integration test for the launch.

基于Shape-from-Shading的月球表面三维形状恢复算法研究

提出了一种基于Shape-from-Shading的月球表面三维形状恢复算法。首先分析了在太阳光照射下月球表面成像模型,建立了使用Lommel-Seeliger反射模型描述的反射图方程。然后用有限差分近似微分运算,将反射图方程所示的一阶变系数线性偏微分方程进行离散化处理,得到关于表面高度函数的代数方程。进而采用超松弛迭代法进行求解,获得月球表面三维高度函数值。最后使用合成图像和实际月球图像进行三维形状恢复仿真实验。实验结果表明提出的算法可以有效地恢复月球表面三维形状。

环月轨道器运动中的月球物理天平动问题

采用类似对地球岁差章动的处理方法,讨论月球物理天平动对月心赤道坐标系 以及月球卫星轨道的影响。在对月球物理天平动的分析表达式与高精度数值历表进行比较的 基础上,给出了相应的月球引力位的变化及相应的坐标系附加摄动解,清楚地表明了对月球 卫星轨道影响的规律。所获结果与数值解进行了比对,证实了从定性和定量两个方面来看本 文的讨论都是有意义的,从而表明月球物理天平动分析解的简单表达式在某些问题中（特别 是定轨和预报）是有实用价值的,而且在建立轨道摄动分析解时,无需像地球卫星那样,去 引进混合形式的轨道坐标系,采用历元月心平赤道坐标系即可。最终表明：无论是采用数值 法定轨和预报还是分析法定轨和预报,均可采用统一的月心平赤道坐标系,这可避免一些不 必要的坐标转换。

A flow sheet for the conversion of lunar regolith using fluorine gas

This work reviews and expands upon the previous fluorination processes for in situ production of oxygen and silicon from lunar regolith. The process units were simulated and a flow sheet was developed to determine the product distribution and energy requirements. Our results show that 0.21 kg silicon and 0.32 kg oxygen can be produced per kg regolith processed with a total cooling duty of 17 MJ/kg regolith and electrical duty of 29 MJ/kg regolith. The payload mass required for the process is estimated as 16 kg/kg regolith processed per day.

Extraterrestrial environmental impact assessments – A foreseeable prerequisite for wise decisions regarding outer space exploration,research and development

Although existing international instruments such as the Outer Space Treaty and Moon Agreement generally express sentiments for minimizing missions' extraterrestrial environmental impacts, they tend to be limited in scope, vague and generally unenforceable. There is no formal structure for assessing how and to what extent we affect those environments, no opportunity for public participation, no uniform protocol for documenting and registering the effects of our actions and no requirement to mitigate adverse impacts or take them into consideration in the decision-making process. Except for precautions limiting forward biological contamination and issues related to Earth satellites, environmental impact analysis, when done at all, remains focused on how missions affect the Earth and near-Earth environments, not how our actions affect the Moon, Mars, Europa, comets and other potential destinations. Extraterrestrial environmental impacts are potentially counterproductive to future space exploration, exploitation and scientific investigations. Clear, consistent and effective international protocols guiding a process for assessing such impacts are warranted. While instruments such as the US National Environmental Policy Act provide legally tested and efficient regulatory models that can guide impact assessment here on Earth, statutory legal frameworks may not work as well in the international environment of outer space. A proposal for industry-driven standards and an environmental code of conduct based, in part, on best management practices are offered for consideration.
