New Technology for Lunar Based Magnetic Levitation Rotational Ejection Return System
The development and utilization of lunar resources has become not only a hot research field in global deep space exploration but also an endogenous driving force for the development of deep space exploration from exploration to utilization.It is widely acknowledged that rare resources such as 3He,titanium,and rare earth are abundant on the Moon.However,limited by the high technical complexity,large scale,poor repeatability,and poor economy of traditional lunar resource return methods,the development and utilization of lunar resources are still in the"exploration"stage.There is yet to be an economically viable technical solution for achieving efficient"utilization".Therefore,a new technology for lunar return system is proposed.It is based on existing magnetic levitation and rotating flywheel technologies,with magnetic levitation rotating ejection as the core technology.In particular,the new technology can take full advantages of the lunar surface environmental factors such as low temperature and weak gravity,so that lunar resources can be transported back to the Earth in a repeatable,low-cost,and high-frequency manner.
