无工质推进技术:研究进展与未来展望
Research progress and future prospects of propellantless propulsion technologies
摘要
Abstract
Propellantless propulsion technologies require no onboard propellant and offer advantages such as theoretically infinite specific impulse and long operational life,making them potential alternative propulsion solutions for long-duration,long-distance deep space exploration missions.Six representative propellantless propulsion technologies,including solar sails,laser-driven sails,drag sails,magnetic sails(MagSails),electric sails(E-sails),and Coulomb propulsion,are systematically reviewed in terms of their fundamental principles,thrust models,experimental progress,and application potential in interplanetary transfer,low Earth orbit deorbiting,and deep space exploration missions.The current technical bottlenecks are summarized,and future research directions are identified,including breakthroughs in key materials and deployment mechanisms,high-fidelity dynamic modeling,hybrid propulsion optimization,and phased in-orbit validation of the six technologies,to promote the engineering application of propellantless propulsion technologies.关键词
