VAISALA和FMI技术将前往NASA的毅力漫游者火星

国际合作takes Vaisala and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) to Mars onboard NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. The rover is scheduled to launch on July 30, 2020. Vaisala’s sensor technology combined with FMI’s measurement instrumentation will be used to obtain accurate and reliable pressure and humidity data from the surface of the red planet.

芬兰气象学院(FMI)是为新毅力漫游者提供测量设备的科学合作伙伴之一,预计将于7月推出,并于2021年2月在火星上发射。FMI开发的压力和湿度测量设备是基于Vaisala世界所知传感器技术相似,但与2012年第一届好奇心漫游者中发给火星的技术相似。

新的任务设备补充了好奇心。在火星上工作时,好奇心和毅力Roverswillform是一个小规模的观察网络。该网络是唯一的一步,预计将来在火星上计划的广泛观察网络。


国际和科学合作旨在收集有关火星氛围和其他环境条件的知识

火星2020年的任务是NASA的火星勘探计划的一部分。为了从红色行星获得表面数据,NASA选择了受信任的合作伙伴,以提供在火星漫游者上安装的测量工具。一个由西班牙领导的欧洲联盟为流浪者提供了火星环境动力分析仪(MEDA); a set of sensors that provides measurements of temperature, wind speed and direction, pressure, relative humidity, and the amount and size of dust particles.

As part of the consortium, FMI delivers instrumentation to MEDA for humidity and pressure measurements based on Vaisala’s top quality sensors.

“火星和地球的另一个姊妹星球金星,由于其与地球的相似之处,这是大气调查的特别重要领域。研究火星有助于我们更好地理解地球大气的行为。”玛丽亚·杰泽尔(Maria Genzer),FMI的行星研究和太空技术集团负责人。

火星的恶劣条件需要最可靠的传感器技术,该技术可提供准确,可靠的数据,而无需维护或维修。

"We are honored that Vaisala’s core sensor technologies have been selected to provide accurate and reliable measurement data on Mars. In line with our mission to enable observations for a better world, we are excited to be part of this collaboration. Hopefully the measurement technology will provide tools for finding answers to the most pressing challenges of our time, such as climate change,” saysliisaÅström,Vaisala产品和系统副总裁。

Same technology, different planet – utilizing Vaisala core technologies for accuracy and long-term stability

在火星大气的气氛条件下,NASA将能够通过Vaisala’Shumicap®和Barocap®传感器获得对压力和湿度水平的读数。 The sensors' long-term stability and accuracy, as well as their ability to tolerate dust, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions, make them suitable for very demanding measurement needs, also in space. The same technology is used in numerous industrial and environmental applications such as weather stations, radiosondes, greenhouses and datacenters.


FMI为毅力开发的湿度测量设备MEDA HS使用标准VaisalaHUMICAP®湿度传感器。Humicap®是一种电容薄膜聚合物传感器,由底物组成,在该基材上,聚合物的薄膜在两个导电电极之间沉积。船上的湿度传感器是新一代传感器,在红色行星上预期的低压条件下,性能也出色。

除了湿度测量外,FMI还开发了用于压力测量的设备MEDA PS,该设备使用定制VaisalaBAROCAP®压力传感器,优化可在火星气候下运行。Barocap®是一种基于硅的微机械压力传感器,可在各种应用中提供可靠的性能,从气象学到半导体行业的压力敏感工业设备和实验室压力标准测量。Barocap®传感器结合了两种强大的技术 - 单晶硅材料和电容测量 - 具有低滞后效果,具有出色的精度和长期稳定性,这对于空间的测量都至关重要。

“Our sensor technologies are used widely in demanding everyday measurement environments here on Earth. And why not – if they work on Mars, they will work anywhere," Åström concludes.
