太阳系边际探测任务总体方案研究

Research on the Scheme of Solar System Boundary Exploration Mission

  • 摘要: 面向太阳系边际探测任务,围绕太阳系形成与演化、日球层物理、恒星际介质特性等多方面科学问题,制定了太阳系边际探测任务的科学目标;并根据任务目标,开展需求分析,提出太阳系边际探测任务初步方案设想,形成了“鼻尖”“尾部”两次探测任务总体方案。其中,两次任务均采用“长征五号”火箭发射,“鼻尖”任务飞行序列为地球-地球-木星;“尾部”任务飞行序列为地球-木星。在此基础上,围绕任务难点,重点阐述了探测器平台设计、空间核电源系统设计和科学载荷配置等关键内容,形成基于1 kWe级空间核电源的探测器设计方案,可为中国太阳系边际探测工程实施提供参考。

     

    Abstract: In this paper, targeting the solar system boundary exploration mission, the scientific objectives of the mission were formulated by addressing multiple scientific issues such as the formation and evolution of the solar system, heliospheric physics, and interstellar medium properties. Based on these objectives, a requirement analysis was conducted, a preliminary mission concept was proposed, and an overall plan for two exploration missions—the “Nose” (nose-first approach) and “Tail” (trailing approach) missions—was developed. Both missions will be launched using the Long March 5 rocket, with the “Nose” mission following a flight sequence of Earth-Earth-Jupiter and the “Tail” mission following Earth-Jupiter. Based on this framework, focusing on mission challenges, key technical aspects—including detector platform design, nuclear power system design, and scientific payload configuration—were elaborated and a detector design scheme based on a 1 kWe-class space reactor power source was proposed. This study can provide reference for the implementation of China’s solar system boundary exploration projects.
