摘要:

新视野号航天器将在冥王星系统实现广泛的测量目标,包括彩色和全色地图,用于研究表面成分的1.25-2.50微米光谱图像,以及冥王星大气层(温度,成分,烟雾和逃逸率)的测量。其他测量目标包括地形、表面温度和太阳风相互作用。这些测量目标的实现将扩大我们对冥王星系统的理解,例如冥王星系统的起源,表面上的操作过程,挥发性运输循环以及大气的能量学和化学。任务、有效载荷和稻草人观测序列的设计是为了实现NASA规定的测量目标,并使科学回报最大化。冥王星系统的观测计划将扩展我们对其他由巨大撞击形成的天体(如地球-月球),其他在太阳系外形成的天体(如彗星和其他冰矮行星),其他表面处于蒸汽压平衡的天体(如海卫一和火星),以及其他具有N2:CH 4大气层的天体(如泰坦,海卫一和早期地球)的知识。

英文摘要:

The New Horizons spacecraft will achieve a wide range of measurement objectives at the Pluto system, including color and panchromatic maps, 1.25-2.50 micron spectral images for studying surface compositions, and measurements of Pluto's atmosphere (temperatures, composition, hazes, and the escape rate). Additional measurement objectives include topography, surface temperatures, and the solar wind interaction. The fulfillment of these measurement objectives will broaden our understanding of the Pluto system, such as the origin of the Pluto system, the processes operating on the surface, the volatile transport cycle, and the energetics and chemistry of the atmosphere. The mission, payload, and strawman observing sequences have been designed to acheive the NASA-specified measurement objectives and maximize the science return. The planned observations at the Pluto system will extend our knowledge of other objects formed by giant impact (such as the Earth-moon), other objects formed in the outer solar system (such as comets and other icy dwarf planets), other bodies with surfaces in vapor-pressure equilibrium (such as Triton and Mars), and other bodies with N2:CH4 atmospheres (such as Titan, Triton, and the early Earth).
