今后几年的月球探测和月球科学

近年来月球探测已经进入了一个全新的时代。特别是 1 990年以来 ,多个月球探测计划已经被成功实现 ,而且另外还有多个探测计划也在准备当中 ,并将在未来的几年内发射升空。在这种背景之下 ,中国的航天机构和有关的科学家也开始积极酝酿和开发自己的月球探测计划。这些月球探测计划将利用卫星上搭载的各种仪器探测和测量月球的地质和地理特性、化学成分和矿物组成、月球物理学特征以及包含地球大气在内的地月空间环境和行星际空间环境 ;进一步研究月球的起源和演化 ,探明月面环境 ,研究太阳等离子体物理 ,提供月面天文台和月面长期科研基地的候选地址 ,调查月球上的可利用资源 ,为将来开发月球提供充实的背景资料。参与新一轮的月球探测同样也为中国天文学研究带来了新的机会。     

月球卫星轨道力学综述

月球探测器的运动通常可分为3个阶段，这3个阶段分别对应3种不同类型的轨道：近地停泊轨道、向月飞行的过渡轨道与环月飞行的月球卫星轨道。近地停泊轨道实为一种地球卫星轨道；过渡轨道则涉及不同的过渡方式(大推力或小推力等)；环月飞行的月球卫星轨道则与地球卫星轨道有很多不同之处，它决不是地球卫星轨道的简单克隆。针对这一点，全面阐述月球卫星的轨道力学问题，特别是环月飞行中的一些热点问题，如轨道摄动解的构造、近月点高度的下降及其涉及的卫星轨道寿命、各种特殊卫星(如太阳同步卫星和冻结轨道卫星等)的轨道特征、月球卫星定轨等。     

Analytical Approach to the Motion of a Lunar Artificial Satellite

The canonical equations of motion of an artificial lunar satellite are formulated including the effects of the asphericity of the Moon comprising the harmonics J ₂, J ₂₂, J ₃, J ₃₁, J ₄ andJ ₅, the oblateness of the Earth up to the second zonal harmonic, as well as the disturbing function due to the attractions of the Earth and of the Sun (terms are retained up to order 10^-6 for the higher orbits and 10^-8 for the lower orbits). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Conceptual Design of the Aluminum Reflector Antenna for DATE5

DATE5,a 5 m telescope for terahertz exploration, was proposed for acquiring observations at Dome A, Antarctica. In order to observe the terahertz spectrum, it is necessary to maintain high surface accuracy in the the antenna when it is exposed to Antarctic weather conditions. Structural analysis shows that both machined aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) panels can meet surface accuracy requirements. In this paper, one design concept based on aluminum panels is introduced. This includes panel layout, details on panel support, design of a CFRP backup structure, and detailed finite element analysis.Modal, gravity and thermal analysis are all performed and surface deformations of the main reflector are evaluated for all load cases. At the end of the paper, the manufacture of a prototype panel is also described.Based on these results, we found that using smaller aluminum reflector panels has the potential to meet the surface requirements in the harsh Dome A environment.     

乌鲁木齐天文站在月球探测同波束干涉测量中的作用

首先简要介绍同波束干涉测量技术,随后叙述中国科学院国家天文台乌鲁木齐天文站在2008年成功完成了约200 h日本月球卫星SELENE同波束较差甚长基线干涉测量,并阐述乌站在此次VLBI中的作用。给出利用SELENE的观测数据,分析、解算出乌站25 m天线与日本VERA网相关台站基线Rstar、Vstar的S1、S2、S3、X频段的较差相关相位、较差相关相位残差,以及对各频段的较差相关相位、较差相关相位残差比对,最后获得较差相位时延。结果显示,同波束甚长基线干涉测量比传统VLBI观测得到的群时延精度提高了1～2个量级。     

The Area of Cold Traps on the Lunar Surface

We numerically calculate the probability and area of permanent shadowing as a function of the selenographic latitude as well as the total area of the permanently shadowed surface for various hierarchical models of the lunar surface. The permanently shadowed area is shown to rapidly increase with increasing number of hierarchical surface levels. For a two-level model of the lunar relief, where the surface of craters is complicated by a random small-scale relief with a Gaussian distribution of heights and slopes, the area of the doubly shadowed regions of the lunar surface is approximately an order of magnitude smaller than the area of the singly shadowed regions. A comparison of the permanently shadowed area calculated by using averaged statistical relations and data on the actual distribution of craters near the lunar poles shows almost complete agreement.     

嫦娥二号CCD立体相机图像质量分析

嫦娥二号卫星作为我国第2颗成功发射的月球探测器,搭载的CCD立体相机在轨运行期间获得覆盖全月的7 m分辨率图像,给月球科学家提供了重要的研究基础数据。开展了对CCD立体相机图像质量情况的全面分析,为后续数据处理算法的选择、图像数据判读和科学数据应用等提供参考。从图像客观评价角度出发,得出嫦娥二号图像与现有国外同分辨率数据的图像质量相当。重点分析了需要注意的几个质量问题,如嫦娥二号图像存在明显的地域特征,图像压缩使质量受损,存在一定的条带噪声,相邻轨道间图像定位偏差大等,这些质量问题在后续图像处理中需重点关注。     

The design of the Central-Axis Reflector (ZAS)

The Central-Axis Reflector, the design principle which is presented below is a segmented-mirror telescope. The inventions relate mainly to the optical system and to the tracking apparatus.A large number of small individual mirror bodies, ground off-axis (hexagonal/polygonal) produce one primary mirror with closed circular aperture when joined together.The overall design of the tracking apperatus results directly —and thus without unnecessary adornment — from the two planes of to aminimum but which are required for tracking of the telescope.Paper presented at the Symposium on the JNLT and Related Engineering Developments, Tokyo, November 29–December 2, 1988.
