    Strategic Analysis of Scientific Activities and Study on the Overall Plan of Scientific Operation Platforms Based on the Lunar Research Station

    • 月球是地球的唯一天然卫星, 因其独特的空间位置、空间环境和物质资源, 一直是国际深空科学探测活动的主要目标天体和推动航天高新技术发展的理想试验场所. 构建月球科研站(基地)将是未来月球探测活动的主要趋势, 可为开展月球地质演化、宇宙早期历史与不同层级天体形成和演化、日地月系统耦合机制、物理与生物学效应、材料特性等多学科交叉的前沿科学研究提供独特的机遇. 同时, 探测活动也将由单一任务向多任务联合探测方式发展, 其科研作业形态也必将向多任务多目标智能化联合作业转变. 本文在梳理月球探测活动发展态势和中国倡导的国际月球科研站大科学工程科学目标需求分析基础上, 开展了基于月球科研站的科研作业平台概念性研究, 提出月球科研站科研作业平台的总体架构, 初步设计了6类科研作业平台的总体方案.

       

      Abstract: The Moon, the Earth’s only natural satellite, has always been the main target of international deep space exploration and an ideal test ground to promote the development of advancing aerospace technologies because of its unique space position, space environment, and material resources. The establishment of the lunar research station will be a primary objective of future lunar exploration, providing an unique observational opportunity for multidisciplinary frontier scientific research. These include studies of lunar geological evolution, the early history of the universe, celestial body formation across scales, coupling mechanisms of the Sun-Earth-Moon system, physical and biological effects, as well as unique properties of materials. This development marks a paradigm shift from single-mission exploration to integrated multi-mission frameworks, driving scientific activities towards intelligent, multi-task, and multi-objective systems. This paper reviews the development trends in lunar exploration and analyzes the scientific objectives and application requirements for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) proposed by China. It outlines a conceptual framework for scientific operation platforms designed for lunar research, presenting an architecture composed of six specialized platforms: comprehensive geological research, multi-physical field measurement networks, astronomical survey systems, Sun-Earth-Moon coupling observation networks, fundamental science experiment modules, and lunar resource utilization platforms. These platforms are tailored to address diverse research requirements, ranging from detailed lunar surface surveys and geophysical measurements to large-scale astrophysical observations and advanced biophysical and material science experiments. To ensure effective operation, an intelligent management hub is proposed, serving as the command center for data processing, operational coordination, and real-time task optimization. This hub supports autonomous mission planning, integrated data analysis, and dynamic resource allocation, ensuring efficient collaboration between different platforms. By integrating these systems, the ILRS aims to provide a foundation for sustainable, long-term lunar exploration and multidisciplinary scientific breakthroughs. This study highlights the strategic significance of establishing the ILRS, which seeks to foster global collaboration, drive innovations in deep space exploration, and serve as an open, inclusive, and sustainable platform for addressing major scientific and technological challenges. The conceptual framework proposed herein aligns with the vision of advancing humanity’s understanding of the Moon and beyond, supporting the long-term development of lunar science and exploration.
