一种火星多模式组合探测任务设想

针对火星探测科学发现及任务创新需求,探索更先进的探测模式,提出了一种火星多模式组合探测任务设想。该任务设想的特点在于结合了轨道环绕、表面着陆、多点穿透和浮空探测,获取立体多层多源信息,一次任务实现深度科学探测。对火星开展多模式组合探测,不仅会开拓更加具有优势的火星探测新方式,发展新的探测能力和技术,也会加深对火星的全面了解,提高探测活动的综合效果。多模式探测设想不仅适用于火星,对金星、土星等地外天体探测也有很好的支撑作用。

A Conception of Mars Multi-mode Combination Exploration Mission

Focusing on the requirements of scientific findings and Mars exploration mission innovations,and exploring advanced exploration modes,a novel scenario of Mars multi-mode combination exploration mission is proposed.Its characteristics rest with the combination of several exploration modes such as orbiting,landing,multi-point penetrating and ballooning,and consequently three-dimensional multi-layer and multi-source information is obtained and scientific exploration is carried out in depth through one mission. Therefore,Mars can be exploredin three-dimensional multi-mode combinational ways,which not only develops the capability and technology for exploration activity but also helps to get a good grasp of Mars and heighten a comprehensive effect of exploration activity.The design results of multi-mode combination exploration not only apply to Mars exploration but also help to explore other extraterrestrial bodies such as Venus and Saturn.
