摘要
火星重力场是研究火星内部结构的关键数据集。为此,我们对“天文一号”轨道飞行器2021年6月至2024年10月的所有双向多普勒跟踪数据进行了处理,确定了一个新的80度、80阶火星静态重力场模型TW80。“天文-1”轨道器跟踪数据显示出高精度,大约90%的弧线达到小于0.1 mm s-1的残差均方根。我们从重力异常误差、重力/地形相关性和轨道确定性能等方面对该模型进行了评估。TW80重力场模型的全球分辨率为74度和74阶,对应的空间分辨率约为140 km。重力异常误差均方根值约为35.8 mGal,南半球南极区误差较小,中低纬度区误差较大。TW80模型与地形高度相关,与MRO120D重力场模型在40度范围内基本一致。由于轨道几何高度椭圆,TW80模型对天文一号轨道的定轨性能与MRO120D模型相当,径向差小于100 m,总位置差小于500 m。轨道确定精度的进一步提高将集中在轨道机动和太阳辐射压力模型的精确建模上,以及延长单个弧的跟踪时间。
Mars Gravity Field Determination Using Tianwen-1 Orbiter Tracking Data
The Martian gravity field is a key data set for studying the internal structure of Mars. For this purpose, we processed all the two-way Doppler tracking data of the Tianwen-1 orbiter from 2021 June to 2024 October and determined a new degree and order 80 Martian static gravity field model, TW80. The Tianwen-1 orbiter tracking data show high accuracy, with approximately 90% of arcs achieving an rms of residuals of less than 0.1 mm s–1. We evaluated this model in terms of gravity anomaly errors, gravity/topography correlation, and orbit determination performance. The TW80 gravity field model reaches a global resolution of degree and order 74, corresponding to a spatial resolution of approximately 140 km. The rms of the gravity anomaly errors is approximately 35.8 mGal, with notably smaller errors near the south pole region in the southern hemisphere and larger errors in mid- and low-latitude regions. The TW80 model shows a high correlation with topography and is consistent with the MRO120D gravity field model up to degree 40. Due to the highly elliptical orbit geometry, the orbit determination performance of the TW80 model for the Tianwen-1 orbiter is comparable to that of the MRO120D model, with radial differences less than 100 m and total position differences less than 500 m. Further improvements in orbit determination accuracy will focus on precise modeling of orbital maneuvers and the solar radiation pressure model, as well as extending the tracking duration of individual arcs.
