The Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) spacecraft is a JAXA mission to Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos. MMX will be equipped with the Circum-Martian Dust Monitor (CMDM) which is a newly developed light-weight (\(\mathrm {650\,g}\)) large area (\(1\,\mathrm {m}^{2}\)) dust impact detector. Cometary meteoroid streams (also referred to as trails) exist along the orbits of comets, forming fine structures of the interplanetary dust cloud. The streams consist predominantly of the largest cometary particles (with sizes of approximately \(100\,\mu \mathrm { m}\) to 1 cm) which are ejected at low speeds and remain very close to the comet orbit for several revolutions around the Sun. The Interplanetary Meteoroid Environment for eXploration (IMEX) dust streams in space model is a new and recently published universal model for cometary meteoroid streams in the inner Solar System. We use IMEX to study the detection conditions of cometary dust stream particles with CMDM during the MMX mission in the time period 2024 to 2028. The model predicts traverses of 12 cometary meteoroid streams with fluxes of \(100\,\mu \mathrm { m}\) and bigger particles of at least \(10^{-3}\,\mathrm {m}^{-2}\,\mathrm {day}^{-1}\) during a total time period of approximately 90 days. The highest flux of \(0.15\,\mathrm {m}^{-2}\,\mathrm {day}^{-1}\) is predicted for comet 114P/Wiseman-Skiff in October 2026. With its large detection area and high sensitivity CMDM will be able to detect cometary meteoroid streams en route to Phobos. Our simulation results for the Mars orbital phase of MMX also predict the occurrence of meteor showers in the Martian atmosphere which may be observable from the Martian surface with cameras on board landers or rovers. Finally, the IMEX model can be used to study the impact hazards imposed by meteoroid impacts onto large-area spacecraft structures that will be particularly necessary for crewed deep space missions.

模拟火星上的火星流向穿越火星探测器(MMX)的火星

火星月球探测(MMX)航天器是JAXA对火星及其卫星“火卫一”和“魔鬼”的一次任务。MMX将配备Circum-Martian灰尘监测器(CMDM),这是新开发的轻型(\(\ mathrm {650 \,g} \))大面积(\(1 \,\ mathrm {m} ^ {2} \))灰尘冲击检测器。彗星流中存在着彗星流(也称为尾迹),形成了星际尘埃云的精细结构。流主要由最大的彗星粒子组成(大小约为\(100 \,\ mu \ mathrm {m} \)到1厘米),以低速射出,并保持非常接近彗星轨道,绕太阳旋转几圈。空间模型中的星际流星状环境迁移(IMEX)尘埃流是一种新的且最近发布的内部太阳系中流星状流质的通用模型。我们使用IMEX研究2024至2028年MMM任务期间CMDM的彗星尘埃流粒子的检测条件。该模型预测通量为\(100 \,\ mu \ mathrm {m } \),并且在大约整个时间段内,至少\(10 ^ {-3} \,\ mathrm {m} ^ {-2} \,\ mathrm {day} ^ {-1} \)的较大粒子90天。\(0.15 \,\ mathrm {m} ^ {-2} \,\ mathrm {day} ^ {-1} \的最大通量预计2026年10月将对114P / Wiseman-Skiff彗星进行探测。凭借其大的探测面积和高灵敏度,CMDM将能够探测到火卫一的彗星流。我们对MMX的火星轨道阶段的模拟结果还预测了火星大气层中流星雨的发生,这可能是用着陆器或漫游车上的照相机从火星表面观察到的。最后,IMEX模型可用于研究流星撞击对大面积航天器结构造成的撞击危险,这对于载人深空飞行任务特别必要。
