金星探测的一项新策略

A New Strategy for the Exploration of Venus

The VEXAG Exploration Strategy Study Analysis Workgroup

AI总结:

本研究是VEXAG响应十年调查建议制定的金星新探测策略,以三大规划任务为基础,提出跨学科探测方向与行动方案,推动建立持续的金星探测项目。

摘要:

2023-2032年行星科学与天体生物学十年调查《起源、世界与生命》建议“NASA应像对待火星一样,在具有广泛科学重要性的领域(例如金星……这类美国任务数量不断增加、且国际合作机会日益增多的领域)制定科学探测策略”(OWL,第22-10页)。在NASA对该十年调查的初步回应中,该机构称“……具体的科学探测策略应由分析小组等机构由学界共同制定”,由此将制定并支撑这些探测策略的责任交由行星科学界承担。2022年末,金星探测分析小组(Venus Exploration Analysis Group, VEXAG)启动了一项制定金星新探测策略的项目,该策略体现了2021年选定的VERITAS、DAVINCI和EnVision任务,以及《起源、世界与生命》中与金星相关的全面比较行星学建议。\n本文件即为该策略。\n本报告全面审视了解答金星所带来的关键未解问题所需的科学、技术与项目层面进展,并以VERITAS、DAVINCI和EnVision按计划在2030年代初发射为前提,概述了NASA、VEXAG以及更广泛的行星科学界可采取的一系列行动,以在未来数年乃至数十年建立持续的金星探测项目。该方法的核心在于,将金星视为一个独特的研究场景——在此可以解答多个跨学科的、十年调查级别的行星科学、地球科学、太阳物理学和系外行星科学问题,同时金星本身也是一个值得探测的目标。\n本报告提供了对金星探测现状的评估,以及供美国和国际金星学界及NASA参考的行动方案。该策略是一份动态文件,应根据需要进行更新。

英文摘要:

The 2023-2032 Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey Origins, Worlds, and Life recommended that "NASA develop scientific exploration strategies, as it has for Mars, in areas of broad scientific importance, e.g., Venus... that have an increasing number of U.S. missions and international collaboration opportunities" (OWL, p.22-10). In NASA's initial responses to that Decadal Survey, the agency asserted that "...specific scientific exploration strategies should be community generated by bodies such as the Analysis Groups," thus placing the onus on the planetary community to generate and support these exploration strategies. In late 2022, the Venus Exploration Analysis Group began a project to develop a new exploration strategy for Venus, reflecting the 2021 selections of the VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision missions and the sweeping comparative planetology recommendations relevant to Venus in Origins, Worlds, and Life. This is that strategy. Taking a broad look at the scientific, technological, and programmatic advances required to address the key outstanding questions that Venus poses, and predicated on VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision flying as planned in the early 2030s, this report outlines a set of actions available to NASA, VEXAG, and the planetary science community at large to establish a sustained program of Venus exploration in the years and decades ahead. Key to this approach is recognizing Venus as a unique setting where multiple, cross-disciplinary, Decadal-level planetary, Earth, heliophysics, and exoplanet science questions can be addressed, as well as being a worthy target of exploration in its own right. This report offers Assessments of the current state of Venus exploration, and Actions for the U.S. and international Venus community, as well as NASA, to consider. This strategy is a living document and should be updated as warranted.
