Investigation on Real Environment Simulation Method and Ground Test Technology of Lunar Landing and Ascending

Lunar explorer landing and ascending process is critical for lunar sampling and return mission. Flight control ability, reliability and safety of lunar explorer need to be fully verified in ground test in the condition of simulating the real moon environment. A practice method and test technology of lunar low gravity environment simulation and lunar surface real geomorphic feature simulation is presented in this paper. The research work is beneficial for ground test validation for the real landing and ascending performance of lunar explorer. It can provide references for soft landing and ascending ground test of other planets as Mars, Venus and so on. Furthermore, research work in this paper also establishes basis for the extended application of the related technology in future planetary exploration.
