摘要: 随着全球金属消费量不断攀升和地球能源日渐紧缺,开发利用小行星资源已成为有效解决矿产资源和能源储备问题的主要探索途径之一。首先根据小行星自身价值、开采利润和成本效益等,从众多小行星中筛选出高开采价值的目标范围;再综合分析轨道特性、尺寸大小和自转周期等约束因素对小行星探测可行性的影响,从技术限制角度筛选出未来几十年能实现开采的目标范围;最后,融合高开采价值和特定时间下低技术限制的初选目标,并从发射窗口、目标资源、成本效益和最小速度增量等方面对各目标进行更为详细的比对分析,优选出适合不同时间段探测任务的空间探测对象,从而为未来几十年高开采价值小行星探测目标选择提供参考。

Abstract:  With the increasing global metal consumption and shortage of Earth energy,the development and utilization of asteroid resources has become one of the main ways to effectively solve the problems of mineral resources and energy reserves.Firstly,according to the value,estimated profit and profit value ratio of the asteroids,the target range of asteroids with high mining value is analyzed.Then the impact of orbital characteristics,size,rotation period and other constraints on the feasibility of asteroid exploration is analyzed,and the target range of mining is determined that can be achieved in the next few decades according to technical constraints.Finally,the primary targets with high mining value and low technical constraints are integrated,and a more detailed comparative analysis of these targets is carried out according to the launch window,target resources,profit to value ratio,minimum speed increment,and so on.The space exploration objects suitable for the exploration tasks in different time periods are selected to provide reference for the selection of asteroid exploration targets with high mining value in the coming decades.
