Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a temperature control structure of a Mars spacecraft, belonging to the technical field of thermal management of aerospace vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Mars is Earth's neighbor in the solar system, sharing a similar physical size and topography. Mars exploration is crucial for expanding human living space and exploring the origins of life. With its unique high flight speed, wide exploration range, localized exploration capabilities, and pinpoint landing capabilities, Mars spacecraft are positioned as aerial exploration platforms to assist Mars rovers in efficiently completing their missions, offering a wide range of applications.

[0003] Temperature control systems are fundamental to the survival and mission execution of Martian equipment. As small mechanical devices, the Martian spacecraft's low-power mode leads to uncertainty in the establishment of thermal models, and it is a typical low-temperature system. The Martian spacecraft uses secondary batteries to store and release the limited production capacity of solar cells in the Martian environment. Its temperature control structure design must be lightweight and energy-efficient to achieve self-sustaining balance. The Martian spacecraft is required to survive, communicate, image, fly, move, and sample in the extreme Martian environment. The inherent ratio of its thermal inertia to its heat-exposed area makes achieving these operations more complex and challenging than in the Earth environment.
