Mars is sharply divided into the relatively low-lying northern hemisphere, filled with plains, to the higher-elevation, rugged, southern hemisphere. All landers sent so far to Mars have only landed on the plains of the northern hemisphere. Access to the Martian Highlands would present an opportunity to acquire unique insights into the early geologic history of Mars. But landing on the Martian highlands presents many engineering challenges. A new approach has recently been proposed to consider the use of mid-air deployment, during the final subsonic stages of entry, descent, and landing, of a small rotorcraft from the aeroshell. The rotorcraft would enter a powered descent state (rotors would be spun to full speed at moderate collectives) after aeroshell release until reaching a modest altitude above the ground where the vehicle would pullout to level flight. After completing this initial EDL mid-air-deployment and landing, the rotorcraft, which would be capable of solarelectric recharging, would recharge over the course of a few days until ready for subsequent flight sorties to explore the highlands. This overall vehicle/mission concept is called the Mars Highland Helicopter. The paper will next demonstrate that a key necessary condition – efficient hover and forward flight under the much thinner atmospheric conditions of the highlands (0.01 kg/m3 vs. 0.015 kg.m3 for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Technology Demonstrator at Jezero Crater) – is indeed possible. This paper considers a number of EDL release/deployment strategies to minimize deployment aeroloads and maximize controllability during release from the EDL backshell. This mid-air-deployment discussion will be followed by a general analytical treatment of a Mars rotorcraft entering fullypowered descent and then forward flight cruise. 1 Associate Fellow; Aeromechanics Office, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 2 Robotics Technologist, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 3 Fellow; Aeromechanics Office, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 4 Member; Aeromechanics Office, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 5 Member; Aeromechanics Office, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 6 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 7 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 8 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 9 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 10 Student intern, Ohio State University, Aeromechanics Office, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 2 Nomenclature AGL Above ground level AMH Advanced Mars Helicopter CONOPS Concept of operations c Speed of sound, m/s CPL Lower rotor power coefficient CPU Upper rotor power coefficient CTL Lower rotor thrust coefficient CTU Upper rotor thrust coefficient D Aeroshell/capsule diameter, m EDL Entry, Descent, and Landing HIGE Hover in ground effect HOGE Hover out of ground effect MHH Mars Highland Helicopter MSH Mars Science Helicopter MHTD Mars Helicopter Technology Demonstrator, aka “Ingenu
火星被明显地分为地势相对较低、布满平原的北半球和地势较高、崎岖不平的南半球。到目前为止,送往火星的所有着陆器都只降落在北半球的平原上。进入火星高地将为获得对火星早期地质历史的独特见解提供机会。但在火星高地着陆面临着许多工程上的挑战。最近提出了一种新的方法,考虑在进入、下降和着陆的最后亚音速阶段使用小型旋翼机。在弹壳释放后,旋翼机将进入动力下降状态(旋翼将以适度的集体速度旋转到全速),直到到达离地面的适度高度,在那里飞行器将拉出到水平飞行。在完成初始EDL空中部署和着陆后,能够进行太阳能充电的旋翼机将在几天内充电,直到准备好后续的飞行架次以探索高地。这个整体飞行器/任务概念被称为火星高地直升机。接下来,本文将论证一个关键的必要条件——在高原更薄的大气条件下(0.01 kg/m3 vs. 0.015 kg)高效悬停和前飞。m3(在耶泽罗陨石坑的独创性火星直升机技术演示器)-确实是可能的。本文考虑了一些EDL释放/部署策略,以最小化部署负载并最大化EDL后壳释放过程中的可控性。这个空中部署的讨论之后,将对火星旋翼飞行器进入全动力下降和向前飞行巡航的一般分析处理。副研究员1名;航空力学办公室,NASA艾姆斯研究中心,莫菲特场,CA 2机器人技术专家,NASA喷气推进实验室,帕萨迪纳,CA 3研究员;NASA艾姆斯研究中心航空力学办公室,莫菲特机场,CA 4成员;美国宇航局艾姆斯研究中心航空力学办公室,莫菲特场,CA 5成员;航空力学办公室,NASA艾姆斯研究中心,莫菲特场,CA 6 NASA喷气推进实验室,帕萨迪纳,CA 7 NASA喷气推进实验室,帕萨迪纳,CA 8 NASA喷气推进实验室,帕萨迪纳,CA 9 NASA喷气推进实验室,帕萨迪纳,CA 10学生实习生,俄亥俄州立大学,航空力学办公室,NASA艾姆斯研究中心,莫菲特场,CA 2命名法AGL地面上AMH先进火星直升机CONOPS操作概念c声速,m/s CPL旋翼下功率系数CPU旋翼上功率系数CTL旋翼下推力系数CTU旋翼上推力系数D外壳/胶囊直径,m EDL进入、下降和着陆high悬停在地效应HOGE悬停在地效应MHH火星高原直升机MSH火星科学直升机MHTD火星直升机技术演示,又名“独创”NDARC NASA旋翼机设计与分析软件工具R旋翼半径m s / R Rotor-to-rotor垂直间距比例对转子半径R sD /太阳能电池阵列垂直间距上转子与转子半径VD下降速度,m / s VTip叶尖速度、m / s V向前飞行的巡航速度,m垂直起落垂直起飞和着陆轴转子轴角,零摄氏度时转子轴垂直,度0.75转子集体,即叶片距角径向站在百分之七十五,度向前飞行之前比,μ= V V⁄
