Abstract

The Psyche Multispectral Imager ("the Imager") is a payload system designed to directly achieve or to indirectly enable the key scientific goals and optical navigation requirements of NASA's Psyche mission, which will conduct the first up-close orbital investigation of the metal-rich Main Belt asteroid (16) Psyche. The Imager consists of a pair of block redundant cameras and electronics that are mounted inside the thermally controlled spacecraft body, with a view out the spacecraft -X panel that will be nadir-pointed during nominal asteroid orbital mapping operations. The two identical Camera Heads are connected to a separate Digital Electronics Assembly (DEA) box that interfaces to the spacecraft avionics and that provides power, commanding, data processing, and onboard image storage. The Imager system shares significant heritage with imaging instruments flown on the Mars Climate Orbiter, the Mars Science Laboratory and Mars 2020 rovers, and Juno. Each camera consists of a 1600 × 1200 photosensitive pixel charge-coupled device (CCD) detector and its associated electronics, a 9-position filter wheel assembly, a compact catadioptric f /2.9 telescope with a fixed focal length of 148 mm, and a sunshade to minimize stray and scattered light. The Imager CCD, filters, and optics enable broadband polychromatic (∼540 ± 250 nm) imaging plus narrowband imaging in 7 colors centered from 439 to 1015 nm. An additional neutral density filter enables protection of the CCD from direct solar illumination. Each camera has a field of view of 4.6° × 3.4° and an instantaneous field of view of 50 μrad/pixel that enables imaging of the asteroid at scales ranging from ∼35 m/pix from 700 km altitude to ∼4 m/pix at 75 km altitude. The primary camera ("Imager A") is pointed along the spacecraft -X axis, and the backup camera ("Imager B") is toed-out by 3.7° to potentially enable greater surface area coverage per unit time if both Imagers are operated simultaneously during some mission phases. Stereoscopic mapping is performed by observing the same surface regions with either camera over a range of off-nadir pointing angles.

普赛克多光谱成像仪研究:描绘一个富含金属的世界的地质、地形和多光谱特性。
普赛克多光谱成像仪(“成像仪”)是一个有效载荷系统,旨在直接实现或间接实现美国宇航局普赛克任务的关键科学目标和光学导航要求,该任务将对富含金属的主带小行星普赛克进行首次近距离轨道调查。成像仪由一对块冗余相机和电子设备组成,安装在热控制的航天器体内,可以看到航天器-X面板,该面板将在标称的小行星轨道测绘操作期间指向最低点。两个相同的相机头连接到一个独立的数字电子组件(DEA)盒,该盒与航天器航空电子设备接口,并提供电源、指挥、数据处理和机载图像存储。成像仪系统与火星气候轨道器、火星科学实验室和火星2020探测器以及朱诺号上搭载的成像仪器有着重要的共同遗产。每台相机包括一个1600 × 1200感光像素电荷耦合器件(CCD)探测器及其相关电子设备,一个9位滤光轮组件,一个紧凑的折射率f /2.9望远镜,固定焦距为148毫米,以及一个遮阳伞,以减少杂散光和散射光。成像仪的CCD、滤光片和光学元件可实现宽带多色(~ 540±250 nm)成像以及以439至1015 nm为中心的7种颜色的窄带成像。一个额外的中性密度过滤器可以保护CCD免受太阳直射。每台相机的视场为4.6°× 3.4°,瞬时视场为50 μrad/像素,可以在700公里高度的~ 35米/像素到75公里高度的~ 4米/像素之间对小行星进行成像。主相机(“成像仪A”)沿着航天器的x轴指向,备用相机(“成像仪B”)倾斜3.7°,如果两个成像仪在某些任务阶段同时操作,则可能在单位时间内实现更大的表面积覆盖。立体映射是通过观察相同的表面区域与任意相机在一定范围内的离最低点指向角度。

期刊介绍: Space Science Reviews (SSRv) stands as an international journal dedicated to scientific space research, offering a contemporary synthesis across various branches of space exploration. Emphasizing scientific outcomes and instruments, SSRv spans astrophysics, physics of planetary systems, solar physics, and the physics of magnetospheres & interplanetary matter. Beyond Topical Collections and invited Review Articles, Space Science Reviews welcomes unsolicited Review Articles and Special Communications. The latter encompass papers related to a prior topical volume/collection, report-type papers, or timely contributions addressing a robust combination of space science and technology. These papers succinctly summarize both the science and technology aspects of instruments or missions in a single publication.
