对“和平号”(Mir)和国际空间站(ISS)这类轨道站进行遥控视觉监视和环境测量,这是站上操作人员求之不得的。本文介绍一种按小型航天器家族克隆的太空监视器(Inspector),1997年12月和平号空间站执行的一次验证飞行中证明了Inspector的这种监视能务,按照计划,Inspector将成为ISS的组成部分。
Remote visual surveillance and environmental measurements of orbital stations such as the Mir and the International Space Station (ISS) are unmanageable by operators on the station. This article presents an Inspector cloned by a small spacecraft family that demonstrated the Inspector’s monitoring capabilities in a validation flight performed by the Mir space station in December 1997. The Inspector is scheduled to become part of the ISS section.
