火星太阳电池翼除尘方法综述

Dust removal techniques for Mars solar arrays

  • 摘要: “萤火一号”火星探测器即将发射升空,标志着我国火星探测计划实施的开始。然而,火星尘埃在范德华力和静电力的作用下积聚在太阳电池翼的表面,使其转换效率下降,影响火星探测器的寿命。因此,开展火星太阳电池翼除尘技术的研究是非常有意义的。文章主要介绍了火星太阳电池翼的除尘方法,特别是目前最受关注的电帘除尘方法,并对其基本结构、除尘原理、除尘效率和透光性做了详细的描述,对开展火星太阳电池翼除尘技术的研究具有一定的参考作用。

     

    Abstract: The launch of YH-1 indicates the beginning of the implementation of China’s Mars exploration program. However, the Martian dust accumulation in the surface of solar arrays under the Van der Waals force and electrostatic force would result in the decrease of the power conversion efficiency, thus reducing the lifetime of Mars’s probe. Therefore, the dust removal for Mars solar arrays is a very important research issue. This paper reviews the methods of the Mars dust removal from solar arrays, especially the electrostatic screen which is the most important part. At the same time, the basic structure, the theory, the efficiency and the transparency of mitigation dust device are discussed in detail. This review may serve as a reference for Mars dust removal technology from solar array.
