Resümee

Das Mikro-Laserwinkel-Reflektorarray INRRI (INstrument for landing-Roving laser Retroreflector Investigations) ist eine der internationalen Nutzlasten an Bord der Chang'e-6-Mission. Durch den Empfang des von der Laserausrüstung an Bord des Mondorbiters ausgesandten Lasers nutzt es die Eigenschaft der parallelen Reflexion des Laserstrahls auf der reflektierenden Oberfläche zur hochpräzisen Abstandsmessung. Nach wiederholten Beobachtungen und Berechnungen wurde es zum ersten absoluten Kontrollpunkt auf der Rückseite des Mondes und bildet die Grundlage für lunare Geodäsie, Fernerkundungskartierung und Positionsbestimmung sowie für hochpräzises Orbittracking und Navigation des Mondorbiters. Dieser Artikel betrachtet INRRI als Forschungsobjekt, stellt seine mechanische Struktur und optisches Design vor und analysiert dessen Schlüsselleistungen. Auf der Designebene wurde ein kugelförmiges Kuppeldesign sowie Beschichtungstechnologien verwendet, um eine effektive Aufnahme des Orbitier-Lasers in einem größeren Sichtfeld zu ermöglichen. Auf der Leistungsebene wurde ein Modell der effektiven reflektierenden Fläche erstellt, die Echo-Signalstärke bei verschiedenen Einfallswinkeln analysiert und unter Berücksichtigung des Dopplereffekts sowie der Fernfeldbeugungstheorie die Detektierbarkeit von INRRI für das Lasergerät des Mondorbiters umfassend bewertet. Die Testergebnisse zeigen, dass INRRI gut beobachtbar ist, was seine ausgezeichnete Leistung bei mehrfachen erfolgreichen Beobachtungen des Laserhöhenmessers LOLA an Bord des LRO-Orbiters bestätigt. Dies liefert eine Grundlage für Design und Optimierung mikro-laserwinkel-reflektierender Geräte in zukünftigen Tiefraum-Missionen.
