月球南北两极研究进展与发展趋势

Researches on Lunar Poles: Advances and Trends

本文着重对上世纪90年代开始的对月探测中关于月球南北两极的一些研究结果进行了综述,包括地质地貌,水冰及其光照条件等问题.笔者认为,在未来的对月球两极的探测活动中,获取月球两极更高空间分辨率的地形和地质等数据是非常重要的,而与此相关的光照,温度及同月球基地建设相关问题等研究将是主要的研究方向,且必将随着各国探测进程的发展取得更多和更深刻的认识.

Reviews on researches of lunar poles, dating from 90s of 20th century were performed, including those findings of geology, geomorphy, water ice and light conditions. The authors suggested that, it is of paramount importance to acquire topographic and geological data with a higher spatial resolution in future prospecting of the lunar poles. Moreover, researches related to their geology, light conditions and problems concerning lunar base, would be main research fields, and more comprehensive understandings of the lunar poles would be achieved in coming worldwide lunar exploration.
