초록

질량분석기는 태양계와 생명의 기원을 밝히기 위한 필수 과학 장비로서, 달/행성/소행성/혜성 등의 대기 및 지표에 존재하는 중성 원소와 이온에 대한 정보를 파악하기 위해 1970년대 초반부터 우주 탐사에 활용되어 왔다. 제4차 우주개발진흥 기본계획(2023-2027)에 따르면 우리나라는 2032년에 달 착륙을 2045년에는 화성 착륙을 성공하는 것을 핵심 목표로 삼고 무인 탐사를 위한 능력을 확보하는 데 기술개발의 역점을 두기로 하였다. 따라서 우주 탐사의 과학적 목표 달성을 위한 가장 기본적인 장비이지만 국내 우주탐사에서 한번도 시도되지 않았던 질량분석기의 국내 개발은 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 개발된 사중극자 질량분석기의 원리와 원형 모델 및 성능에 대해 소개하고 향후 발전 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The mass spectrometer, being an essential scientific instrument for uncovering the origin of the solar system and life, has been used since the early 1970s on board spacecraft to obtain information of neutral and ionized elements in the atmosphere and surface of the moon, planets, asteroids, and comets. According to the 4th Basic Plan for the Promotion of Space Development (2023-2027), Korea plans to conduct lunar landing in 2032 and Mars landing in 2045 as the core goals of the plan and focuses on developing the technologies required for unmanned robotic exploration missions. In this regard, it is crucial to develop the technology of a mass spectrometer, which is the most fundamental payload for space exploration for maximized scientific achievements, however never tried before in any domestic space missions. We describe in this paper the principle of a domestically developed quadrupole mass spectrometer, its prototype model, and the test results of its performance. We conclude this paper with intended future improvements.
