摘要: 受限于目前远程探测原理和技术限制,目前仍无法直接获悉月壤中水冰真实赋存状态和精确含量,亟需开展月壤水冰的原位证认。我国探月工程四期嫦娥七号任务将在月球南极开展挥发分及水冰探测任务,巡视器上搭载的月壤挥发分测量仪微量取样装置拟对月壤进行原位定量采集。因月表工况的不确定性导致采样质量离散度大,采样时机-壤温度差异及接触作业力载势必导致水冰升华损失。为了保证月壤挥发分探测载荷数据的可信,需要根据载荷在轨工作流程,通过地面定标试验结果以及分析测试方法保障载荷在轨测量水冰含量的可靠性。本文分析了月壤挥发分测量仪微量取样装置工作过程中采样量的不确定度和水冰损失原因,提出了采样量与水冰损失定标方法,设计了采样量与水冰损失量定标装置。基于月壤水冰赋存状态,利用气相沉积方法制备模拟月壤水冰模拟物,开展了定标试验。为我国地外天体水冰物质探测与规模化资源利用提供切实可行的技术方案。Abstract: Due to current limitations in remote sensing principles and technologies, directly determining the true occurrence and precise content of water ice in lunar regolith remains unachievable. In-situ identification of water ice in lunar regolith is therefore urgently required. The Chang’e-7 mission, part of China’s fourth lunar exploration phase, aims to explore water ice at the lunar South Pole. The rover-mounted micro-sampling device, part of the instrument for measuring volatile components in lunar regolith, is designed to perform in situ quantitative sampling. Due to the variability of lunar surface conditions, sampling quality is highly dispersed. Variations in sampling time, soil temperature, and contact force during operation inevitably lead to sublimation losses of water ice. To ensure the reliability of the volatile components detection payload, its in-orbit measurements of water and ice content must be validated through ground-based calibration tests and analytical methods aligned with its operational workflow. This study analyzes the uncertainties in sampling volume and the causes of water ice loss during the operation of the micro-sampling device. A calibration method and corresponding device are proposed to account for both sampling volume and water ice loss. Based on the occurrence characteristics of water ice in lunar regolith, an icy lunar soil simulant was prepared using a gas-phase deposition method, followed by calibration experiments. The results offer practical and feasible technical solutions for detecting and utilizing water ice resources on extraterrestrial bodies, supporting China’s space exploration efforts.
