探测月球永久阴影区的FemtoSats
FemtoSats for Exploring Permanently Shadowed Regions on the Moon
摘要：
最近，空间探索的迅速发展是由于航天器上电子部件的加速小型化，这减少了卫星的质量、体积和成本。然而，进入空间仍然是一个遥远的梦想，因为对卫星的要求越来越复杂，空间交通也越来越多。行星际探索更加困难，低成本任务的可能性有限。所有这些因素使得CubeSats，入门级标准太昂贵，因此需要找到一个更好的方法.本报告中提出的解决方案是一个低质量，低成本，一次性解决方案，利用电子产品的最新进展，是相对容易集成：FemtoSats. FemtoSats是100克以下的航天器。FemtoSat概念基于启动一个群，其中主要任务在群成员之间分配。这意味着，如果一个失败了，蜂群可以取代它的位置，从而取代它，而不会危及整个任务。在本文中，我们探讨了实用的FemtoSats进行第一次探索和月球PSR的映射。该概念被认为是2020年NASA BIG竞赛的决赛选手。这是一个高风险、高回报任务的例子，其中失去一颗FemtoSat并不意味着任务处于危险之中，因为它发生在常规卫星任务中。
英文摘要：
The recent, rapid advancement in space exploration is thanks to the accelerated miniaturization of electronics components on a spacecraft that is reducing the mass, volume and cost of satellites. Yet, access to space remains a distant dream as there is growing complexity in what is required of satellites and increasing space traffic. Interplanetary exploration is even harder and has limited possibilities for low cost mission. All of these factors make even CubeSats, the entry-level standard too expensive for most and therefore a better way needs to be found. The proposed solution in this report is a low-mass, low-cost, disposable solution that exploits the latest advances in electronics and is relatively easy to integrate: FemtoSats. FemtoSats are sub-100-gram spacecraft. The FemtoSat concept is based on launching a swarm where the main tasks are divided between the members of the swarm. This means that if one fails the swarm can take its place and therefore substitute it without risking the whole mission. In this paper we explore the utility of FemtoSats to perform first exploration and mapping of a Lunar PSR. This concept was recognized as finalist for the NASA BIG Competition in 2020. This is an example of a high-risk, high-reward mission where losing one FemtoSat does not mean the mission is in danger as it happens with regular satellite missions.
