CHARACTERIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE WHEEL ELECTROSTATIC SPECTROMETER 探究轮静电检测器特征性能 Abstract-A Wheel Electrostatic Spectrometer has been developed as a surveying tool to be incorporated into a planetary rover design. Electrostatic sensors with various protruding cover insulators are embedded into a prototype rover wheel. When these insulators come into contact with a surface, a charge develops on the cover insulator through tribocharging. A charge spectrum is created by analyzing the accumulated charge on each of the dissimilar cover insulators. We eventually intend to prove charge spectra can be used to determine differences in planetary regolith properties. We tested the effects of residual surface charge on the cover insulators and discovered a need to discharge the sensor cover insulators after each revolution. We proved the repeatability of the measurements for this sensor package and found that the sensor repeatability lies within one standard deviation of the noise in the signal. 摘要—我们开发了一款轮静电检测器作为检测工具集成到行星探测器的设计中。有各种不同凸起外壳的静电传感器镶嵌到原型探测器的轮上。当这些传感器与任何表面接触时，因为摩擦生电传感器的外壳绝缘层上就会带电。我们通过分析聚集在每个不同的外壳绝缘层上的电荷编制了电荷谱。我们希望最终证明电荷谱可以用来区别行星表层土的不同特性。我们测验了外壳绝缘层上的残余电荷的影响并且发现每转一圈传感器外壳绝缘层需要清除一次静电。我们证明了这套传感器测量的可重复性并且发现传感器的重复性处于信号中噪声标准差范围内。 I. INTRODUCTION Current Martian surface exploration missions incorporate technologies to study the mineral makeup of the Martian regolith in search of volatiles, such as oxygen, that are of great importance for a manned mission to Mars. Volatiles can be extracted from the Martian regolith through In-Situ Resource Utilization ISRU processes and used to make drinking water for astronauts and fuel for the return trip to Earth [1]. Prior to a manned mission, it is important to determine location and concentrations of these volatiles and minerals. A surveying instrument is necessary to optimize the use of a Martian rover in search of these crucial elements. Ⅰ. 简介 目前的火星表面探测任务集成了多种技术在搜寻挥发物，如对载人火星任务至关重要的氧气的过程中研究火星表层土的矿物构成。挥发物可以用现场资源设备（ISRU）运
