论文摘要
高成本的衰老阶级科学任务将由高能量的高空飞行器（例如高能量光子）和电子（例如电子）来支持，以支持科学家的扩展机会并提高科学回报率。 Rocket Lab Mission是一项计划于2023年5月发射的小型直接入境调查，可容纳一个约1公斤的仪器。备用启动窗口将于2025年1月提供。探测任务将在地面高度48-60公里的金星云层上花费大约5分钟，并收集原位测量。我们选择了低质量的低成本自动荧光仪来搜索云颗粒中的有机分子并约束粒子组成。
Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations will be enabled by high-ΔV small spacecraft, such as the high-energy Photon, and small launch vehicles, such as Electron, to support expanding opportunities for scientists and to increase the rate of science return. The Rocket Lab mission to Venus is a small direct entry probe planned for baseline launch in May 2023 with accommodation for a single ~1 kg instrument. A backup launch window is available in January 2025. The probe mission will spend about 5 min in the Venus cloud layers at 48-60 km altitude above the surface and collect in situ measurements. We have chosen a low-mass, low-cost autofluorescing nephelometer to search for organic molecules in the cloud particles and constrain the particle composition.
