Because in the eyes of designers, Tianwen-1 is? Light and smart, and the image of a naughty child? .
rover designer: is it the most beautiful in my heart? Butterfly?
In about three months, Tianwen-1 will land on Mars. What will be the terrain after landing and how the rover will work? There are so many wonderful things to look forward to.
On the desk of Jia Yang, deputy chief designer of Tianwen-1 detector system in the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, there is a butterfly specimen. He said,? Our rover is a beautiful butterfly. ?
The detection equipment placed in front of the rover is like a butterfly's compound eye, and the unfolded solar wing is like a butterfly's wing. Tianwen-1
On February 15th, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, China's first Mars exploration mission, the Tianwen-1 probe, will be carried out? Far fire point plane maneuver? , that is, one? Rollover? Turn around Mars horizontally instead of vertically. In this way, Tianwen-1 can see the South Pole and the North Pole of Mars. ?
It is predicted that Tianwen-1 will land on the surface of Mars in May this year after several orbital adjustments.
Since February, Tianwen-1 has frequently made hot searches:
On the evening of February 1th, Tianwen-1 successfully implemented near-fire braking, was captured by the gravity of Mars, and started a trip around Mars.
On February 12th, the first day of the first month, the National Space Administration released the images of the Mars capture process of the Tianwen-1 probe.
Interestingly, Jia Yang's understanding and creativity about China culture are hidden in the design of the rover.
using the technique of nine-fold seal cutting, and then abstracting, they designed one? Fire? Word, as the logo of the rover. Five scientific and technological wonders in 221
1. China will reach Mars
China hopes to be the third country to reach Mars, and launched its first Mars exploration mission in 22. In July 22, the Long March V rocket was launched from Wenchang Space Launch Base in southern Hainan Province and flew to Mars. ? Tianwen-1? The journey of the Mars exploration mission will last for seven months, and the goal is to land the Mars rover on the surface of Mars in 221. This is China's first independent space project. Landing on Mars will be a challenge. Expected? Tianwen-1? Will arrive on Mars in February 221. The Mars rover will work on the surface of Mars for more than 9 days, and it will not only carry out exploration operations, but also send back what it has seen and heard hundreds of millions of kilometers away to Earth.
2. Supercomputers will break new records
The United States announced that it will have the world's first exascale supercomputer in 221. This most powerful computer is being built outside Chicago, which is dozens of times faster than any other computer in the world. The speed of supercomputers will reach exaFLOPs. 1 exaFLOPs is one billion floating-point operations per second. What's its code name? Aurora? . ? Aurora? To achieve the set goal of 1 exaFLOPs in 221. At present, Fujitsu and Japan Institute of Physical Chemistry jointly develop supercomputers? Fuyue? The performance on its mixed precision HPC-AI benchmark has been improved to 2. exaFLOPs, which is better than its record of 1.4 exaFLOPs six months ago. This represents the first time that the benchmark measurement value of any accuracy exceeds 1 exaFLOPs on any type of hardware.
3. NASA? Perseverance? The probe will land on Mars
and will be launched on July 3, 22? Perseverance? On February 18, 221, the No.1 probe is scheduled to land in Yezero crater on Mars. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a probe with a mass of more than 1, kilograms, will study the astrobiology and paleoenvironment of Mars and its geological processes. In addition, it will collect samples, which are expected to be sent back to Earth in future missions. This one is based on? Curious? The detector designed by the No.1 detector has a better camera and larger capacity than the previous generation. ? Perseverance? The landing site of Mars is the Yezero crater north of the equator of Mars, which was probably a lake with a depth of 25 meters in the distant past. Accompany? Perseverance? Who else landed on mars on the 18 th? Original? Solar unmanned aerial vehicle, whose function is to explore and calculate the best driving route and detect interesting targets for research.
4. James? The Webb Space Telescope will be launched
Another important milestone in p>221 will be the launch of the long-awaited James? Webb space telescope. The launch of the space telescope has been seriously delayed. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic and engineering challenges, the launch will be postponed until October 31, 221. At that time, the telescope will be launched by Ariane 5 carrier rocket at Kourou Space Center in French Guiana. James? The role of the Webb Space Telescope is to detect the light of the first generation of stars and galaxies formed after BIGBANG, and to study the atmosphere of habitable exoplanets and the origin of life. Telescope has unprecedented resolution and sensitivity, and its power is 1 times that of Hubble telescope.
5. NASA? Space launch system? Will appear in the space launch system? The (SLS) rocket, which will debut in 221, is a launch vehicle evolved from the space shuttle and designed by NASA, mainly to replace the cancelled constellation plan and the retired space shuttle. By then? Space launch system? The rocket will be carried for the first time? Orion? The spaceship is manned and its destination is the moon. ? Space launch system? The rocket is the largest rocket with the highest thrust in NASA's history. Its height is higher than that of the Statue of Liberty, and its thrust at launch will be higher than that during the Apollo program? Saturn 5? The launch vehicle is about 15% higher. ? Space launch system? Rockets will be the main vehicle for NASA's deep space exploration program, and will also be used to build a new space station in orbit around the moon.
