Development of Electrical Power Technology for China's Deep Space Probes
The power system capability is an important factor affecting deep space exploration mis-sion.On the basis of summarizing the deep space exploration missions successfully completed in China,such as the lunar exploration project and the planetary exploration project,the application characteristics,technical difficulties and progress of key technologies such as solar cells,lithium-ion batteries,radioisotope thermoelectric generator and power control in the previous deep space exploration missions are focused in this paper.The requirements of power supply system and technology for China's subsequent deep space exploration missions are summarized,and the technical requirements and development suggestions of power supply for deep space probes from the aspects of power generation,energy storage,power regulation and energy management are also analyzed in this paper.It can provide reference for the design of power systems for subse-quent missions.
