日本MMX探测器如何在没有重力的火卫一上着陆

日本MMX探测器于10月20日搭乘H3火箭发射,计划2027年抵达火星,对火卫一进行多次着陆并取样返回。火卫一重力仅为地球的1/1800,表面是松散碎石堆,MMX将先释放23公斤的Idefix巡视器,以低于1米每秒的速度弹跳着陆,再用机械臂取芯和氮气气动两种方式采集至少10克样品,预计2031年下半年送回地球。

MIT 团队提出气候模拟器训练新方法,用少量合成数据提升预测可靠性

MIT 研究人员开发了一种训练技术,用精心挑选的少量合成数据训练气候模拟器,使其能准确预测训练中未见过的情景,而传统模拟器无法适应新情况。该算法只需运行一次完整地球系统模型即可生成训练数据,而非通常的六到八次,从而大幅缩短模拟器制作时间。相关论文本周发表在 PNAS,研究由 Schmidt Sciences 通过 MIT Grand Challenges 的 BC3 项目支持。
