摘要:

我们提出了一种革命性的方式研究火星表面使用风驱动的移动传感器网络-飘在火星上(GOWON)。GOWON被设想为一个可扩展的,100%自我发电和分布式系统,与早期的任务相比,它允许在火星表面更大的部分进行现场测绘。它可以从根本上提高通过随机风驱动搜索发现生物特征等罕见现象的可能性。它可以探索以前任务无法到达的困难地形,例如非常陡峭的斜坡,杂乱的表面和/或沙丘; GOWON被设想为一个持续的任务,寿命很长。它可以以具有成本效益的方式实现美国宇航局在火星上的任何科学目标,并在火星上留下持久的传感和搜索基础设施。GOWON是美国宇航局创新先进概念(NIAC)的2012年B级受邀者。它解决了火星表面系统能力领域的挑战领域。我们认为挑战是短期的,即,2018-2024.

英文摘要:

We propose a revolutionary way of studying the sur-face of Mars using a wind-driven network of mobile sensors- Gone with the Wind ON_Mars (GOWON). GOWON is envisioned to be a scalable, 100% self energy-generating and distributed system that allows in-situ mapping of a wide range of phenomena in a much larger portion of the surface of Mars compared to earlier missions. It could radically improve the possibility of finding rare phenomena like bio signatures through random wind-driven search. It could explore difficult terrains that were beyond the reach of previous missions, such as regions with very steep slopes, cluttered surfaces and/or sand dunes; GOWON is envisioned as an on going mission with a long life span. It could achieve any of NASA's scientific objectives on Mars in a cost-effective way, leaving a long lasting sensing and searching infrastructure on Mars. GOWON is a 2012 Step B invitee for NASA Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC). It addresses the challenge area of the Mars Surface System Capabilities area. We believe the challenge to be near-term, i.e., 2018-2024.
