6 LCCR Scope LCCR will define a Point of Departure (POD)* transportation architecture for the CxP Lunar Capability including capabilities to: Deliver and return crew to the surface of the moon for short durations, i.e. Human Lunar Return (HLR) Enable establishment of a lunar outpost This review focuses on the conceptual designs and key driving requirements for Ares V and Altair (crewed and cargo) This review assumes the capabilities of Ares I and Orion for the lunar missions This review will show how the POD transportation architecture, including EVA and Ground Ops, supports a range of mission campaigns and possible surface architecture solutions Specific Lunar Surface Systems definition is not part of this review *This is a POD transportation architecture and NOT the final baseline Section 01: LCCR Overview Page 6

7 CxP L2 Lunar Design Reference Missions DRM 1 : Lunar Sortie Crew DRM This mission lands anywhere on the Moon, uses only on-board consumables, and leaves within ~1 week. This mission enables exploration of high-interest science sites, scouting of Lunar Outpost locations, technology development objectives, and the capability to perform EVAs. DRM 2 : Uncrewed Cargo Lander DRM Used to support an Outpost, help build one, or merely preposition assets for a subsequent Sortie Lander, this uncrewed mission lands anywhere on the Moon, and has enough resources to sustain itself until a component of the Lunar Surface Systems takes over. DRM 3 : Visiting Lunar Outpost Expedition DRM Analogous to an assembly flight to ISS, this mission lands at the site of a complete Outpost or one under construction, and allows crewmembers to extend their stay by using assets of the Outpost rather than only what is carried onboard their Lander. DRM 4 : Resident Lunar Outpost Expedition DRM Realizing one of the goals of US Space Policy, this mission allows a sustained human presence on the surface of the Moon, since it follows a single crew of four to the surface, transitions them to a habitat at an Outpost, and gets them back to Earth after transitioning over to a replacement crew. DRM 5 : Outpost Remote DRM This mission is separated in function from the other DRMs by focusing only on those Lunar Surface Systems which need to operate without human intervention, either because humans are not present to operate them, or the task is more easily performed in an autonomous or automatic manner.

15 Design Approach Project examined the multitude of concepts developed in the post-esas era, took lessons learned and began to develop a real design. Altair took a true risk informed design approach, starting with a minimum functionality design and adding from there to reduce risk. Lunar Design Analysis Cycle (LDAC) 1 developed a minimum functional vehicle. Minimum Functionality is a design philosophy that begins with a vehicle that will perform the mission, and no more than that Does not consider contingencies Does not have added redundancy ( single string approach) Provides early, critical insight into the overall viability of the end-to-end architecture Provides a starting point to make informed cost/risk trades and consciously buy down risk A Minimum Functionality vehicle is NOT a design that would ever be contemplated as a flyable design! LDAC-2 determined the most significant contributors to loss of crew (LOC) and the optimum cost/risk trades to reduce those risks. LDAC-3 (current LDAC) is assessing biggest contributors to loss of mission (LOM) and optimum cost/risk trades to reduce those risks. Goal of the design process is to do enough real design work to understand and develop the requirements for SRR. Section 05: Altair System Page 15

16 LDAC-2 Overview P(LOC) The initial Lander Design and Analysis Cycles (May-November 2007) created a minimal functionality lander design that serves as a baseline upon which to add safety, reliability and functionality back into the design with known changes to performance, cost and risk. LDAC-2 completed in May Goal was to buy down Loss of Crew (LOC) risks. Spent approximately 1.3 t to buy down loss of crew (LOC) risks. Spent an additional 680kg on design maturity. 1.8E E E E E E E E E-02 1 in 6 Sum of System Contributions to LOC/ Mass Available for Payload 3652 kg 500 kg minimum payload 1 in kg Individual Subsystem Contribution to LOC: Events\Hazards Life Support Thermal Propulsion Structures and Mechanisms Power Avionics 0.0E+00 0 LDAC-1 LDAC-2 Section 05: Altair System Page mass (kg) Mass Available for Payload

21 Global Access/LOI Δ-V/LLO loiter Access to all lunar landing sites ( global access ) requires a combination of additional LOI Δ-V, pre-descent LLO loiter, and post-ascent LLO loiter Minimum energy LLO maneuvers are sufficient for polar outpost missions Altair to size tanks for 1000 m/sec LOI maneuver, load consumables for 4 additional days of LLO loiter Section 05: Altair System Page 21

23 Greater Than Zero Temporal Coverage In order to ensure global lunar surface access, the following minimum mission architecture conditions were determined to be sufficient for providing access to all lunar landing sites at some epoch during the lunar nodal cycle*: 48 HR LOI and TEI flight times 5 days of extended LOI loiter 3 days of extended TEI loiter Altair Only 1000 m/s LOI ΔV Capability For these conditions the Altair can provide access to the worst case landing sites ~8% of the time. For the integrated capability, this provides for access to the worst case integrated landing sites ~5% of the time. Integrated Altair and Orion * To the resolution of the MAPP data and given the assumptions in the MAPP analysis (e.g., no Earth perturbations assumed in LOI and TEI 3-burn maneuvers).

Section 05: Altair System Page 26

27 Altair Key Messages Current design demonstrates a lander design that closes within the Constellation transportation architecture Altair has investigated a wide breadth of lander concepts, using lessons learned to influence the current design concept Altair has undertaken a process that begins with minimum functionality and buys back safety, reliability and additional capabilities with known performance, cost and risk impacts The Altair team is using this design process to help develop good requirements Design process (particularly risk based design approach) is resulting in a smart government design team Altair has used its bottoms-up design work to inform sizing of landers for transportation architecture trades Altair has developed a detailed bottoms-up cost estimate Section 05: Altair System Page 27

28 Sample Return Mass Considerations Nominal return mass: 100 kg. Note that Apollo 17 returned kg of sample. The PSS views the sample mass allocation in the current exploration architecture for geological sample return as too low to support the top science objectives. We are asking that CAPTEM undertake a study of this issue with specific recommendations for sample return specifications. Tempe Workshop, CAPTEM: Minimum of 230 kg total return mass, but noted that on the basis of simple extrapolation of the Apollo 17 mission, sample return mass could be as much as 800 kg. The recent Lunar Surface Scenarios workshop estimated that a 7-day sortie mission with 4 crew and 8 EVAs could collect 306 kg of samples. 100 kg IS NOT ENOUGH Section 05: Altair System Page 28

29 Sample Return Mass Considerations LCCR Action Items: Stochastic modeling of sample return mass on the Altair ascent stage; Study of Orion volume capacity for increasing return sample mass. At the moment there is 1.6 metric tons of reserve mass on Altair, not including PMR. Section 05: Altair System Page 29

30 LCCR & The Surface Architecture (not part of this LCCR) Can the Constellation transportation system (Ares, Orion & Altair) support the deployment and operations of a lunar outpost? Is the POD cargo capacity to the lunar surface enough? Can Do the surface systems fit in the Ares-5 shroud and on the Altair deck? Have solutions for unloading cargo to the surface been identified?

32 Surface Architectures Assessed Three surface architectures were developed in support of LCCR: Rapid Outpost Buildup (TS-1) Deliver as much outpost capability as soon as transportation system permits Full-up outpost based on the recommendations from LAT-2. Substantial robustness through element duplication Initial Mobility Emphasis (TS-2) Temper outpost build-up based on affordability with initial emphasis on mobility capabilities Full-up outpost has less volume and limited eclipse operating capability than TS1 Robustness achieved through functional reallocation Assumed water scavenging Initial Habitation Emphasis (TS-3) Temper outpost build-up based on affordability with initial emphasis on core habitation & exploration capabilities Full-up outpost has less volume and limited eclipse operating capability than TS1 Robustness achieved through functional reallocation Assumed water scavenging Surface Systems Review in 2010 Section 04: LSS Concepts Page 32

33 Lunar Transportation Architecture Recommendations Ares-V Maximize commonality between Lunar and Initial Capabilities: Ares-V engine core, 5.5 segment PBAN steel case booster Provides architecture closure with additional margin High commonality with Ares I Continue to study the benefits/risk of improved performance: Ares-V Final decision on Ares V booster at Program SRR (6/2010) Altair Additional performance capability if needed for margin or requirements Allows for competitive acquisition environment for booster Requires further study and technology investment funding Provide a robust capability to support Lunar Outpost Missions: Optimize for crew missions (500 kg + airlock with crew) Lander cargo delivery: ~ 14,500 kg in cargo only mode Size the system for global access while allowing future mission and system flexibility Size Altair tanks for 1,000 m/s LOI delta-v Size for an additional 4 days of Low-Lunar Orbit loiter (site specific) Retain adequate margins: ~1,000 kg Program reserve at TLI Minimum of 40% total Altair margin/reserve Orion Continue to mature Orion vehicle concept Maintain strong emphasis on mass control Continue to hold Orion control mass to 20,185 kg at TLI Increase emphasis on evolution of Orion Block 2 to support lunar Outpost missions Section 13: Architecture Summary and Next Steps Page 33
