先驱异常研究中的物理工程

Physics Engineering in the Study of the Pioneer Anomaly

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

摘要:

先驱者10/11号航天器在深空进行了迄今为止最精确的导航。然而,他们从距离太阳20- 70天文单位的地方收到的无线电测量跟踪数据一直表明存在着一个小的、异常的多普勒频率漂移。漂移是一种蓝色的频率偏移,可以解释为每个特定航天器的向阳加速度a_P =(8.74 +/- 1.33)x 10^{-10} m/s^2。这个信号被称为先锋异常;这个异常的性质仍然无法解释。最近,新的先驱者10号和11号无线电测量多普勒和飞行遥测数据已经可用。与以前调查中使用的数据相比,新获得的多普勒数据集明显扩大,预计将成为调查异常的主要来源。此外,飞行遥测文件、原始项目文件和新开发的软件工具现在用于重建两个航天器的工程历史。在这一信息的帮助下,正在开发先锋号飞行器的热模型,以研究作用在这两个航天器上的热反冲力可能产生的作用。这些物理工程工作的最终目标是评估星载系统对航天器轨道的影响。

英文摘要:

The Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft yielded the most precise navigation in deep space to date. However, their radio-metric tracking data received from the distances between 20--70 astronomical units from the Sun has consistently indicated the presence of a small, anomalous, Doppler frequency drift. The drift is a blue frequency shift that can be interpreted as a sunward acceleration of a_P = (8.74 +/- 1.33) x 10^{-10} m/s^2 for each particular spacecraft. This signal has become known as the Pioneer anomaly; the nature of this anomaly remains unexplained. Recently new Pioneer 10 and 11 radio-metric Doppler and flight telemetry data became available. The newly available Doppler data set is significantly enlarged when compared to the data used in previous investigations and is expected to be the primary source for the investigation of the anomaly. In addition, the flight telemetry files, original project documentation, and newly developed software tools are now used to reconstruct the engineering history of both spacecraft. With the help of this information, a thermal model of the Pioneer vehicles is being developed to study possible contribution of thermal recoil force acting on the two spacecraft. The ultimate goal of these physics engineering efforts is to evaluate the effect of on-board systems on the spacecrafts' trajectories.
