Abstract

The Zhurong rover of China’s Tianwen-1 mission started its inspection tour on Mars in May 2021. As a major scientific payload onboard the Zhurong rover, the Mars Surface Composition Detector (MarSCoDe) instrument adopts laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to detect and analyze the chemical composition of Martian materials. This paper introduces an experimental platform capable of establishing a simulated Martian atmospheric environment, in which a duplicate model of the MarSCoDe flight model is placed. In the simulated environment, the limit vacuum degree can reach 10−5 Pa level, the temperature can change from −190 °C to +180 °C, and different gases can be filled and mixed according to desired proportion. Moreover, the sample stage can move along a track inside the vacuum chamber, enabling the detection distance to vary from 1.5 m to 7 m. Preliminary experimental results indicate that this platform is able to simulate the scenario of MarSCoDe in situ LIBS detection on Mars well.
