Abstract
Abstract
To probe the possibility of water sources on Mars and research the surface environment of Mars, a Martian spacecraft was designed in detail in this study. Camera PIXL was selected as the payload. The service platform includes an orbit control system, communication system, thermal control system, main computer, energy system, and structure system, which was designed to support the operation of the spacecraft to complete required space missions. The consequence of this research furnishes some guidance for the design of the Martian spacecraft, which discovers water sources on Mars.
