月亮女神探月计划的有效载荷与科学探测综述

Summary of SELENE Lunar Mission:Scientific Instruments and Their Results

月亮女神探月计划根据科学目标的需求配置多波段成像仪、地形测绘相机、测月雷达、月球磁强计、高清电视摄像机等15台(套)有效载荷。文章阐述了有效载荷的基本原理、主要技术指标及其科学任务。通过1颗主探测器(Kaguya)和2颗子探测器(Rstar,Vstar)的相互配合以及精密测轨,获得了迄今最为精细的重力场分布数据,为研究月球内部的质量分布不均衡提供基础数据。文章还总结了在轨运行期间完成的主要科学探测活动,可对我国月球与深空探测的科学目标与载荷配置有所启示和借鉴。

The science goals of SELENE mission are focused on the major issues of the Moon.Fifteen scientific instruments aboard SELENE,e.g.terrain camera,multiband imager,lunar radar sounder,lunar magnetometer and high definition television,perform a global survey of the Moon.This paper describes the basic principles,major technical parameters,and scientific tasks of the instruments.The highest level of gravity field data of the moon is achieved by the cooperation and precise determination of the orbits of Kaguya main orbiter and two small sub-satellite,Rstar and Vstar.Performances of the instruments and their results are summarized.The description is beneficial for the study of science goals and instruments of China＇s future lunar and planetary mission.
