Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices I (ASTROD I) - A class-M fundamental physics mission proposal for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025
摘要:
ASTROD I是一项计划中的行星际空间任务,具有多个目标。主要目标是:以超过3个数量级的灵敏度来检验广义相对论,提高我们对引力的理解,并帮助发展新的量子引力理论;为了以更高的精度测量太阳能系统的关键参数,推进太阳物理学和我们对太阳系的认识,并测量引力常量的时间变化率,使之提高一个数量级,加速,从而探测暗物质和暗能量的引力。这是一个国际项目,欧洲和中国作出了重大贡献,并设想作为ASTROD系列飞行任务中的第一个。ASTROD I将由一个携带望远镜的航天器,四个激光器,两个事件计时器和一个时钟组成。在太阳轨道上的航天器和地球上的深空激光站之间将使用双向、双波长激光脉冲测距,以实现ASTROD I的目标。第二个任务ASTROD II设想为三个航天器的任务,将测试广义相对论到十亿分之一,能够探测太阳g模,测量太阳透镜-Thirring效应到百万分之十,并探测频率低于LISA带宽的引力波。在第三阶段(ASTROD III或Super-ASTROD),可实施更大的轨道,以绘制外太阳系的地图,并探测频率低于ASTROD II带宽的原始引力波。
英文摘要:
ASTROD I is a planned interplanetary space mission with multiple goals. The primary aims are: to test General Relativity with an improvement in sensitivity of over 3 orders of magnitude, improving our understanding of gravity and aiding the development of a new quantum gravity theory; to measure key solar system parameters with increased accuracy, advancing solar physics and our knowledge of the solar system and to measure the time rate of change of the gravitational constant with an order of magnitude improvement and the anomalous Pioneer acceleration, thereby probing dark matter and dark energy gravitationally. It is an international project, with major contributions from Europe and China and is envisaged as the first in a series of ASTROD missions. ASTROD I will consist of one spacecraft carrying a telescope, four lasers, two event timers and a clock. Two-way, two-wavelength laser pulse ranging will be used between the spacecraft in a solar orbit and deep space laser stations on Earth, to achieve the ASTROD I goals. A second mission, ASTROD II is envisaged as a three-spacecraft mission which would test General Relativity to one part per billion, enable detection of solar g-modes, measure the solar Lense-Thirring effect to 10 parts per million, and probe gravitational waves at frequencies below the LISA bandwidth. In the third phase (ASTROD III or Super-ASTROD), larger orbits could be implemented to map the outer solar system and to probe primordial gravitational-waves at frequencies below the ASTROD II bandwidth.
