斯皮策Space Telescope的在轨性能：科学与工程相结合
On-orbit Performance of the Spitzer Space Telescope: Science Meets Engineering
摘要：
斯皮策空间望远镜在跟踪地球的太阳轨道上运行了16年以上，不仅返回了大量的科学数据，而且作为副产品，还返回了航天器和仪器工程数据，这些数据将对未来的飞行任务规划者产生兴趣。这些数据将是特别有用的，因为斯皮策在一个基本上与L2拉格朗日点相同的环境中运行，许多未来的天体物理学任务将在那里运行。特别是，斯皮策所展示的辐射冷却已经被其他红外空间任务所采用，从JWST到SPHEREx。本文旨在通过收集更独特和潜在有用的部分到一个单一的，易于访问的出版物，以促进斯皮策工程数据的效用。我们避免讨论不太独特的系统，如电信，飞行软件和电子系统，也不讨论斯皮策团队发起的任务和科学操作的创新。本文件附录中提供的参考文献讨论了这些和其他可能感兴趣的项目。
英文摘要：
The Spitzer Space Telescope operated for over 16 years in an Earth-trailing solar orbit, returning not only a wealth of scientific data but, as a by-product, spacecraft and instrument engineering data which will be of interest to future mission planners. These data will be particularly useful because Spitzer operated in an environment essentially identical to that at the L2 LaGrange point where many future astrophysics missions will operate. In particular, the radiative cooling demonstrated by Spitzer has been adopted by other infrared space missions, from JWST to SPHEREx. This paper aims to facilitate the utility of the Spitzer engineering data by collecting the more unique and potentially useful portions into a single, readily-accessible publication. We avoid discussion of less unique systems, such as the telecom, flight software, and electronics systems and do not address the innovations in mission and science operations which the Spitzer team initiated. These and other items of potential interest are addressed in references supplied in an appendix to this paper.
