Project Lyra(天琴计划):前往1I/ʻOumuamua的路径与所需运载火箭
Project Lyra: The Way to Go and the Launcher to Get There
AI总结:
本文针对Project Lyra此前未深入探讨的运载火箭选型问题,梳理了多款可用火箭的性能,指出星舰、猎鹰重型等可满足需求,同时阐明VILM机动能让性能较弱的火箭也完成奥陌陌探测载荷投送。
摘要:
在先前的论文中,Project Lyra(天琴计划)已探讨了飞往1I/ʻOumuamua(奥陌陌)的航天器可采用的多种轨道方案,包括Solar Oberth manoeuvres(太阳奥伯斯机动)、被动木星交会、Jupiter Oberths(木星奥伯斯机动)、Double Jupiter Gravitational Assists(双木星引力助推)等。由于可行性是该分析的核心驱动因素,此前研究基本回避了选用哪款运载火箭的关键问题,转而采用性能最强的方案以满足需求,但这类运载火箭显然并非必需,存在性能稍弱的替代候选方案可供使用。本文针对Project Lyra可用的各类发射选项展开研究,以全面梳理其性能。研究发现,SpaceX Super-Heavy Starship(太空探索技术公司超重型星舰)将为Project Lyra带来颠覆性改变,尤其是在近地轨道(LEO)加注燃料的场景下;此外,SpaceX Falcon Heavy Expendable(太空探索技术公司猎鹰重型一次性运载火箭)也可投入使用。本文还考量了其他运载火箭,包括Ariane 6(阿丽亚娜6号)以及中国未来的Long March 9(长征九号)。文中详细阐述了V infinity Leveraging Manoeuvre (VILM,无穷远速度借力机动)的重要作用——即便运载火箭性能有限,借助该机动仍可将有效载荷送达奥陌陌。
英文摘要:
In preceding papers, Project Lyra has covered many possible trajectory options available to a spacecraft bound for 1I/Oumuamua, including Solar Oberth manoeuvres, Passive Jupiter encounters, Jupiter Oberths, Double Jupiter Gravitational Assists, etc. Because feasibility was the key driver for this analysis, the important question of which launcher to exploit was largely skirted in favour of adopting the most powerful options as being sufficient, though these launchers are clearly not necessary, there being alternative less capable candidates which could be utilised instead. In this paper the various launch options available to Project Lyra are addressed to allow a general overview of their capabilities. It is found that the SpaceX Super-Heavy Starship would be a game-changer for Project Lyra, especially in the context of refuelling in LEO, and furthermore a SpaceX Falcon Heavy Expendable could also be utilised. Other launchers are considered, including Ariane 6 and the future Chinese Long March 9. The importance of the V infinity Leveraging Manoeuvre (VILM) in permitting less capable launchers to nevertheless deliver a payload to Oumuamua is elaborated
