Scientific Payloads Proposal for Chinese Solar System Boundary Exploration Mission

Abstract

In view of the scientific objectives of Chinese Solar System Boundary Exploration Mission which is being under discussion, 10 scientific payloads for field, particle and optics are proposed. The payloads performance requirements and engineering requirements such as mass and power are given. The high performance and tight schedule are both taken into consideration for the payloads schemes taking the technical advantages from several Chinese institutions. The development of payloads has good technical basis and inheritability. For this super far away exploration, preliminary solutions to common key technologies such as miniaturization and low power, high reliability and long lifetime, science data processing and compression for payloads are given. The payloads are mainly developed domestically, well international cooperation according to the previous successful collaboration is to play a bigger role.
