摘要: 金星探测气球具备长航时飞行、大范围探测、大气原位采样及高分辨率观测等优势,是提升金星大气长期原位连续探测能力的重要技术途径,也是深空探测的前沿发展方向之一。在综述金星探测气球研究背景与发展现状的基础上,结合金星大气热辐射环境,建立了金星大气模型、气球动力学模型与传热模型,并利用VEGA任务实测数据验证了模型的准确性。重点分析了气球体积、氦气质量、部署位置及风场等关键参数对气球升空过程热动力学特性与飞行轨迹的影响,研究成果可为金星探测气球的总体设计、分系统设计、飞行控制策略制定等工程实践提供理论依据与技术支撑。

Abstract: Venus exploration balloons are characterized by long endurance, broad-area coverage, in-situ atmospheric sampling, and high-resolution observation capabilities. They represent a critical approach for enhancing sustained in-situ exploration of the Venusian atmosphere and constitute a promising frontier in deep-space research. Based on a review of the research background and current status of Venus balloons, this paper establishes an atmospheric model, a balloon dynamics model, and a heat transfer model, incorporating the thermal radiation environment of the Venusian atmosphere. The accuracy of these models is validated using in-flight data from the VEGA mission. Furthermore, this study analyzes the influence of key parameters—such as balloon volume, helium mass, deployment location, and wind fields—on the thermodynamic characteristics and flight trajectory during the ascent phase. The results provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the engineering development of Venus balloons, including overall design, subsystem design, and flight control strategy formulation.

Key words: Venus exploration balloon, Venus atmospheric model, Heat transfer model, VEGA mission, Flight trajectory
