Different from those conducted asteroid flyby missions, in the 12th China Trajectory Optimization Competition (CTOC-12), a NEAs flyby trajectory design problem using reusable probes that depart from a Lunar Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) station in the cislunar space was released. The objective was flyby to as many NEAs as possible using up to 20 probes within a total of 10 years. The ∑ team proposed a solution that can explore 47 NEAs using 11 probes, ranking the first in the competition. In this paper, the methods and results from the winning team are introduced, including mission analysis and preliminary design, and low-energy transfer trajectory optimization. In particular, a round-trip trajectory is divided into three phases: deep space transfer, indirect transfer between the Earth to DRO, and DRO phasing and rendezvous. With the combination of global optimization and local optimization algorithms, the required velocity increments to change the orbital planes are effectively reduced, thus increasing the number of the explored NEAs. The final solution of our team is presented and the results are compared with those of the top three teams. The competition demonstrates that the regularization of flyby missions from the cislunar space to explore NEAs with the potential impact risks to the Earth is the feasible and promising.展开更多

In ...The increasing complexity of on-orbit tasks imposes great demands on the flexible operation of space robotic arms, prompting the development of space robots from single-arm manipulation to multi-arm collaboration. In this paper, a combined approach of Learning from Demonstration (LfD) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) is proposed for space multi-arm collaborative skill learning. The combination effectively resolves the trade-off between learning efficiency and feasible solution in LfD, as well as the time-consuming pursuit of the optimal solution in RL. With the prior knowledge of LfD, space robotic arms can achieve efficient guided learning in high-dimensional state-action space. Specifically, an LfD approach with Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMP) is firstly utilized to encode and reproduce the demonstration actions, generating a distribution as the initialization of policy. Then in the RL stage, a Relative Entropy Policy Search (REPS) algorithm modified in continuous state-action space is employed for further policy improvement. More importantly, the learned behaviors can maintain and reflect the characteristics of demonstrations. In addition, a series of supplementary policy search mechanisms are designed to accelerate the exploration process. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified both theoretically and experimentally. Moreover, comparisons with state-of-the-art methods have confirmed the outperformance of the approach.展开更多

It is scheduled to be launched in about 2 yr. The telescope is equipped with a variety of terminal instruments. It has important scientific missions but limited observation time, so it is suggested to develop a 2.5 m coaxial telescope that will be co-orbiting with the space station. This additional telescope will mainly focus on time-domain surveys and IFS surveys. Its development budget is lower than the current 2 m off-axis telescope, CSST, but it offers superior system performance. Within the limited operational lifespan of the space station, it can significantly enhance the existing survey efficiency. Like the CSST, this telescope will be able to do multi-color imaging survey, and time-domain surveys are also under consideration.展开更多

Machine learning（ML） is a subdivision of artificial intelligence based on the biological learning process. The ML approach deals with the design of algorithms to learn from machine readable data. ML covers main domains such as data mining, difficultto-program applications, and software applications. It is a collection of a variety of algorithms（e.g. neural networks, support vector machines, self-organizing map, decision trees, random forests, case-based reasoning, genetic programming, etc.） that can provide multivariate, nonlinear, nonparametric regression or classification. The modeling capabilities of the ML-based methods have resulted in their extensive applications in science and engineering. Herein, the role of ML as an effective approach for solving problems in geosciences and remote sensing will be highlighted. The unique features of some of the ML techniques will be outlined with a specific attention to genetic programming paradigm. Furthermore,nonparametric regression and classification illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of ML for tackling the geosciences and remote sensing problems.展开更多

文摘This study presents an achievement of laser cooling of alkaline-earth atoms in the Chinese Space Station’s strontium(Sr)atomic space optical clock.The system’s core components,physical unit,optical unit,and electrical unit,have a total volume of 306 L and a total mass of 163.8 kg.These compact and robust units can overcome mechanical vibrations and temperature fluctuations during space launch.The laser sources of the optical unit are composed of diode lasers,and the injection locking of slave lasers is automatically performed by a program.In the experiment,a blue magneto-optical trap of cold atoms was achieved,with the atom numbers estimated to be approximately(1.50±0.13)×10^(6) for 87Sr and(8.00±0.56)×10^(6) for 88Sr.This work establishes a foundation for atomic confinement and high-precision interrogation in space-based optical clocks and expands the frontiers of cold atom physics in microgravity.

文摘Wave-particle duality is one of the key features of quantum physics,characterized by the interference pattern.Meanwhile,Floquet spectroscopy is typically studied in the high-frequency region because the Floquet sidebands are very sharp,behaving like“particles”in frequency space,and no interference phenomena are observed.Here,we consider the larger quantum fluctuation region where the Floquet sidebands are broader,making interference between them possible.With the help of an optical lattice clock experimental platform and numerical simulations,such interference of Floquet modes in frequency space is clearly observed.Additionally,it exhibits many exotic phenomena,such as large Floquet sidebands between integer ones,sensitivity to the initial phase,and corresponding emergent symmetries.To analytically elucidate this,we propose the Floquet channel interference hypothesis,which surprisingly matches quantitatively well with both experimental and numerical results.Our research paves the way for developing a new type of interferometer that could be applicable to other Floquet systems.

文摘Impact craters are important for understanding the evolution of lunar geologic and surface erosion rates,among other functions.However,the morphological characteristics of these micro impact craters are not obvious and they are numerous,resulting in low detection accuracy by deep learning models.Therefore,we proposed a new multi-scale fusion crater detection algorithm(MSF-CDA)based on the YOLO11 to improve the accuracy of lunar impact crater detection,especially for small craters with a diameter of<1 km.Using the images taken by the LROC(Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera)at the Chang’e-4(CE-4)landing area,we constructed three separate datasets for craters with diameters of 0-70 m,70-140 m,and>140 m.We then trained three submodels separately with these three datasets.Additionally,we designed a slicing-amplifying-slicing strategy to enhance the ability to extract features from small craters.To handle redundant predictions,we proposed a new Non-Maximum Suppression with Area Filtering method to fuse the results in overlapping targets within the multi-scale submodels.Finally,our new MSF-CDA method achieved high detection performance,with the Precision,Recall,and F1 score having values of 0.991,0.987,and 0.989,respectively,perfectly addressing the problems induced by the lesser features and sample imbalance of small craters.Our MSF-CDA can provide strong data support for more in-depth study of the geological evolution of the lunar surface and finer geological age estimations.This strategy can also be used to detect other small objects with lesser features and sample imbalance problems.We detected approximately 500,000 impact craters in an area of approximately 214 km2 around the CE-4 landing area.By statistically analyzing the new data,we updated the distribution function of the number and diameter of impact craters.Finally,we identified the most suitable lighting conditions for detecting impact crater targets by analyzing the effect of different lighting conditions on the detection accuracy.

文摘Using a recognition model of atmospheric gravity waves(AGWs),we identified 519 AGW events from the OH airglow images observed at the Dandong and Lhasa stations from 2015 to 2017.The 317 AGW events detected at the Dandong station have wavelengths ranging from 30 to 60 km,periods from 14 to 20 min,horizontal speeds from 30 to 60 m/s,and relative intensities from 0.4%to 0.6%,respectively.The parameters of 202 events recorded at the Lhasa station mainly vary within 15-35 km in horizontal wavelength,4-6 min in period,40-100 m/s in horizontal velocity,and 0.1%-0.3%in relative intensity.The occurrence rate peaks in winter and summer at Dandong and the peak in summer are absent at Lhasa because of the lack of convective weather.The seasonal propagation directions of the waves are influenced by both the wind field-filtering effect and the distribution of wave sources.In spring,because of the southeastward background wind field,fewer southeastward events are observed at the Dandong station.The situation at the Lhasa station is similar.In summer,both the Lhasa and Dandong stations are dominated by northeastward AGWs,which can be attributed to the southwestward wind.In autumn,ray-tracing results show that the events at Dandong mainly originate from wind shear,whereas the events at the Lhasa station are triggered by convective weather.The location of the wave sources determines the trend of the propagation directions at the Dandong and Lhasa stations in autumn.In winter,because of the eastward wind,more events are propagating to the southwest at the Dandong station.

文摘Atmospheric CO_(2) concentrations are predominantly regulated by multiple emission sources,with industrial emis-sions representing a critical anthropogenic driver that significantly influences temporal and spatial heterogeneity in regional CO_(2) patterns.This study investigated the spatiotemporal distribution of atmospheric CO_(2) in Pucheng and Nanping industrial parks,Nanping City,by conducting field experiments using two coherent differential absorption lidars from 1 August to 31 October 2024.Results showed that the spatial distributions of CO_(2) emis-sions within a 3 km radius were mapped,and the local diffusion processes were clarified.CO_(2) patterns varied differently in two industrial parks over the three-month period:Average CO_(2) concentrations in non-emission areas were 422.4 ppm in Pucheng and 408.7 ppm in Nanping,with the former experiencing higher and more variable carbon emissions;Correlation analysis indicated that synthetic leather factories in Pucheng contributed more to SO_(2) and NO_(x) levels compared to the chemical plant in Nanping;In Pucheng,CO_(2) concentrations were transported from the north at ground-level wind speeds exceeding 4 m/s,while in Nanping,the concentrations dispersed gradually with increasing wind speeds;Forward trajectory simulations revealed that the peak-emission from Pucheng primarily affected southern Fujian,northeastern Jiangxi,and southern Anhui,while the peak-emission from Nanping influenced central and western Fujian and northeastern Jiangxi.Besides,emissions in both industrial parks were higher on weekdays and lower on weekends,reflecting changes in industrial activi-ties.The study underscores the potential of lidar technology for providing detailed insights into CO_(2) distribution and the interactions between emissions,wind patterns,and carbon transport.

文摘In this study,we analyze the impact of the May 2024 geomagnetic storm on the thermospheric mass density by using TianMu-1 constellation satellite(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM11,TM15)observations.These observations reveal intense large-scale traveling atmospheric disturbances(TADs)originating at high latitudes and propagating equatorward.Observations by TM02 captured the evolution of a TAD structure:An initial amplitude of~3.89×10^(-12)kg/m^(3)at hundred-kilometer scale subsequently intensified to 4.78×10^(-12)kg/m^(3),with the spatial extent expanding to the thousand-kilometer level.Significant hemispheric asymmetry was observed:the absolute density was higher predominantly in the northern hemisphere(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM11),whereas the difference in the relative density consistently showed greater enhancements in the southern hemisphere across all satellites,with the maximum north-south density differences exceeding 195%-640%above 60°latitude.In conjunction with SuperDARN(Super Dual Auroral Radar Network)observations,this striking hemispheric asymmetry can likely be attributed to disparities in plasma convection patterns between the two hemispheres.Furthermore,density perturbation characteristics exhibited strong local time(LT)dependence:Near noon(~10.7 LT,TM02 descending),the northern hemisphere onset preceded the southern onset.Conversely,near dusk(~17.6 LT,TM15 descending),the southern onset led the northern onset by approximately 3 hours.Ascending orbits(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM15)typically yielded larger global density enhancements compared with smaller southern-confined enhancements during descending orbits.Satellite TM11 showed comparable perturbations in both ascending and descending orbits.By leveraging its unique orbital architecture,the TianMu-1 constellation enables global near-simultaneous multi-LT sampling,providing a robust data foundation for both scientific research and engineering applications.

文摘The Triple Ionosphere Photometer(TRIPM)is a scientific payload aboard the Fengyun-3E(FY-3E)satellite,which operates in a dawn−dusk orbit.It is primarily designed for nadir observations of airglow emissions at OI 135.6 nm and N_(2)Lyman-Birge-Hopfield(LBH)bands.Due to the satellite’s dawn−dusk orbital characteristics,most of TRIPM’s field of view remains in a semi-illuminated condition.Therefore,compared with airglow data of the same bands acquired under purely daytime or nighttime conditions,applying TRIPM data poses greater challenges.This study presents the first attempt to use TRIPM data for retrieving solar extreme ultraviolet(EUV)flux.Our results demonstrate that by utilizing TRIPM data in regions where photoelectron excitation dominates as the primary radiation source,the solar EUV flux(denoted as Q_(EUV))can be retrieved.Comparisons with data from the SOHO/SEM instrument reveal excellent consistency,with a seasonal correlation coefficient(R)of at least 0.95.This work thus offers a new avenue for solar EUV flux acquisition and expands the application range of TRIPM data.

文摘Ecosystems along the eastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(EQTP)are highly fragile and extremely sensitive to climate change and human disturbances.To quantitatively assess climate-induced ecosystem responses,this study proposes a Climate-Induced Productivity Index(CIPI)based on the Super Slack-Based Measure(Super-SBM)model using remote sensing data from 2001 to 2020.The results reveal persistently low CIPI values(0.47-0.53)across major ecosystem types,indicating widespread vulnerability to climatic variability.Among these ecosystems,forests exhibit the highest CIPI(0.55),followed by shrublands(0.54),croplands(0.53),grasslands(0.51),and barelands(0.43).The Theil index analysis further demonstrates significant intra-group disparities,suggesting that extreme climatic events amplify CIPI heterogeneity.Moreover,the dominant environmental drivers differ among ecosystem types:the Palmer Drought Severity Index(PDSI)primarily constrains grassland productivity,solar radiation(SRAD)strongly influences shrub and cropland systems,whereas subsurface factors exert greater control in forested regions.This study provides a quantitative framework for evaluating climate-ecosystem interactions and offers a scientific basis for long-term ecological monitoring and security planning across the EQTP.

文摘Theoretical calculations serve as an effective method for determining plasma temperatures within planetary atmospheres.To simulate plasma temperature,a comprehensive implementation of the energy equation is used,which is governed by five terms:conductivity,heating,cooling,adiabatic expansion,and advection.The derivations mentioned are strongly dependent on the collision cross section between electrons and other particles(e.g.,neutrals,ions).It is notable that the momentum transfer cross sections between electrons and neutrals have been updated in recent decades.However,the widely used momentum average collision cross sections between electrons and neutrals,derived from the momentum transfer cross sections,are collected in studies dating back nearly half a century.Therefore,it becomes imperative to revise the momentum average collision cross sections relevant to astrophysical contexts,based on the latest studies.In this study,we summarize the momentum average collision cross sections of 13 species common in planetary atmospheres:H,H_(2),He,O,CH_(4),H_(2)O,CO,N_(2),O_(2),Ar,CO_(2),N_(2)O,and NO_(2).All results are derived from the latest studies concerning the electron-neutral collision cross section and are compared with previous studies.Furthermore,we present a comparison of the derived total electron-neutral collision frequency at Mars between this study and previous studies.Prominent differences in the total electron-neutral collision frequency between this and prior studies support the significance of updating the momentum average collision cross section between electrons and neutrals in studying the planetary atmospheres.

文摘Near-Earth objects are important not only in studying the early formation of the Solar System,but also because they pose a serious hazard to humanity when they make close approaches to the Earth.Study of their physical properties can provide useful information on their origin,evolution,and hazard to human beings.However,it remains challenging to investigate small,newly discovered,near-Earth objects because of our limited observational window.This investigation seeks to determine the visible colors of near-Earth asteroids(NEAs),perform an initial taxonomic classification based on visible colors and analyze possible correlations between the distribution of taxonomic classification and asteroid size or orbital parameters.Observations were performed in the broadband BVRI Johnson−Cousins photometric system,applied to images from the Yaoan High Precision Telescope and the 1.88 m telescope at the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory.We present new photometric observations of 84 near-Earth asteroids,and classify 80 of them taxonomically,based on their photometric colors.We find that nearly half(46.3%)of the objects in our sample can be classified as S-complex,26.3%as C-complex,6%as D-complex,and 15.0%as X-complex;the remaining belong to the A-or V-types.Additionally,we identify three P-type NEAs in our sample,according to the Tholen scheme.The fractional abundances of the C/X-complex members with absolute magnitude H≥17.0 were more than twice as large as those with H<17.0.However,the fractions of C-and S-complex members with diameters≤1 km and>1 km are nearly equal,while X-complex members tend to have sub-kilometer diameters.In our sample,the C/D-complex objects are predominant among those with a Jovian Tisserand parameter of T_(J)<3.1.These bodies could have a cometary origin.C-and S-complex members account for a considerable proportion of the asteroids that are potentially hazardous.

文摘A large-scale view of the magnetospheric cusp is expected to be obtained by the Soft X-ray Imager(SXI)onboard the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer(SMILE).However,it is challenging to trace the three-dimensional cusp boundary from a two-dimensional X-ray image because the detected X-ray signals will be integrated along the line of sight.In this work,a global magnetohydrodynamic code was used to simulate the X-ray images and photon count images,assuming an interplanetary magnetic field with a pure Bz component.The assumption of an elliptic cusp boundary at a given altitude was used to trace the equatorward and poleward boundaries of the cusp from a simulated X-ray image.The average discrepancy was less than 0.1 RE.To reduce the influence of instrument effects and cosmic X-ray backgrounds,image denoising was considered before applying the method above to SXI photon count images.The cusp boundaries were reasonably reconstructed from the noisy X-ray image.
文摘Learning incorporates a broad range of complex procedures. Machine learning（ML） is a subdivision of artificial intelligence based on the biological learning process. The ML approach deals with the design of algorithms to learn from machine readable data. ML covers main domains such as data mining, difficultto-program applications, and software applications. It is a collection of a variety of algorithms（e.g. neural networks, support vector machines, self-organizing map, decision trees, random forests, case-based reasoning, genetic programming, etc.） that can provide multivariate, nonlinear, nonparametric regression or classification. The modeling capabilities of the ML-based methods have resulted in their extensive applications in science and engineering. Herein, the role of ML as an effective approach for solving problems in geosciences and remote sensing will be highlighted. The unique features of some of the ML techniques will be outlined with a specific attention to genetic programming paradigm. Furthermore,nonparametric regression and classification illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of ML for tackling the geosciences and remote sensing problems.
