[NetEase Smart News, August 27] Scientists want to send a biplane with a similar shape to Saturn's satellite Titan, and let it explore whether there are signs of life on Titan.

"We can install a lander on Titan, which will greatly increase our understanding of the Titans and other similar planets," said Peter 燘edini, manager of the Smart 蜻蜓 Project at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. ”

Shown here is a rendering of this "cocoon" quadriplane, which can fly to different locations on the Titan to explore signs of life on this planet's largest satellite.

Bedini added: "However, if we increase its air mobility, then the value of this exploration mission will increase exponentially. It will also help us to explore a variety of geological environments by crossing and circumventing satellites. Obstacles can help us to obtain scientific information to the greatest extent and reduce the risk of tasks."

APL is embarking on the promotion of Nine Robots to NASA. If this "cockroach" robot is selected for satellite detection, it will transport scientific instruments to all landing areas of Titan. Titan is the second largest moon in the solar system and is even larger than Mercury.

The robots are equipped with four pairs of machine rotors on two levels. The shape and name of the robots are similar to those of the two-winged insects on the earth and can also fly around.

The idea of ​​using a rotorcraft to explore the Titan Star has long been a mystery, but in the past 20 years of scientific development, it was sometimes referred to as the "drone revolution," which made satellite exploration missions more feasible.

The "Titan Star" is one of the many planets in the solar system that possesses the "oceanic world." It has the basic elements that constitute life. Most of its surface is covered with water, there is also a sea. It is understood that the rich organic matter on Titan’s planet is undergoing chemical changes. This process of change is similar to the changes that the Earth has experienced before its appearance.

Elizabeth urtle, chief researcher of NASA's "Skull" project, said: "We can't do this kind of experiment because the time span is too big."

“The Titans are rich in organic compounds and liquid water on the surface, and this phenomenon is estimated to last for a long time. The robot was designed to study the chemical processes Titan had undergone before its origin.”

Because of its high density and low gravity, Titan’s atmosphere is much easier to fly there than it is on the earth. Therefore, the “Tang” will make multiple flight surveys from one geological environment to another. At each location, it will sample the surface and atmosphere of the Titan, study its livability, investigate the development of Titan’s life chemistry, and look for the presence of water and hydrocarbons that constitute life. The chemical characteristics.

The robots carrying scientific instruments can perform four types of satellite detection. Mass spectrometry reveals the composition of Titan’s surface and atmosphere. The gamma-ray energy spectrum measurement will measure the composition of the Titan star subsurface. Meteorological and geophysical sensors will analyze Titan’s atmospheric conditions such as wind, pressure, temperature, and seismic activity. The camera can detect the geological and physical properties of Titan's surface and help it find a subsequent landing site.

Later this fall, NASA will also screen some high-end flying robots for further research. In the end, only one robot will be selected to complete the fourth "planetary exploration program." It is expected that this screening will be completed in mid-2019.
