论文摘要
这是从低海拔探索金星表面的任务。 Calypso金星侦察兵由高空气球和一个仪器下降模块(DM)组成。 DM通过系绳将图像和厘米尺度分辨率和粗糙的红外光谱部署到10-25公里的高度为10-25 km。几个小时后,它被卷入“冷却”周期,然后再次部署。气球保持高空,无需加强即可在金星的高t下生存。
This is a mission to explore the surface of Venus from low altitudes. The Calypso Venus Scout consists of a high-altitude balloon and a instrumented Descent Module (DM). The DM is deployed to an altitude of 10-25 km by means of a Tether where it obtains images, with meter and centimeter scale resolution, and rough IR spectra. It is reeled-in after several hours for a "cool down" cycle, then deployed again. The balloon remains at high-altitude with no need to be fortified to survive high-T and high-P of Venus' lower atmosphere.
