Key Decisions: Power Systems
• Standard Power Unit (SPU) is a self contained, trailer-deployable unit with power generation, storage & distribution. Includes a deployable, Sun-tracking solar array, a regenerative fuel cell (RFC) subsystem with gaseous H2/O2 storage, and power distribution electronics and cabling.– Conservative interpretation of Digital Elevation Maps give 122 –

Solar ArrayRegenerablefuel cell and gas storage
Solar Standard Power Unit (SPU) Summary
System DescriptionStandard Power Unit (SPU) is a self contained, trailer-deployable unit with power generation, storage & distribution. Includes a deployable, Sun-tracking solar array, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) regenerative fuel cell (RFC) subsystem with gaseous H2/O2 storage, and power distribution electronics and cabling. Make-up Power Unit (MPU) is a self contained RFC energy storage module deployed at a SPU unit.
The SPU2 initially delivers 10 kW of day time power and 2 kW of eclipse power to the outpost habitat element via a 200-m long power cable. In combination with 2 MPUs, the system delivers 6 kW continuous day/night power.
SPU SchematicDepending on the specific needs of the mission, the SPU2 is either deployed onboard the lander or unloaded from the lander and hauled by the unpressurized rover to be deployed elsewhere at the Outpost. Up to two MPU2 units work in conjunction with a single SPU2 and each adds an additional 2 kW of eclipse power capability. The MPU2 units must be in close proximity to the SPU2 in order to utilize power from the SPU2 solar array to recharge their RFCs. Additional daylight power is available from the SPU2 when the MPU2 RFCs are fully charged. The SPU2 includes a 200m spool of cable to carry power to various other elements, such as landers and habitats.

Extravehicular Activity (EVA)
• General– EVA is a critical capability to support and enable Operations at a Lunar Outpost– On Outpost Missions, 2 crewmembers out on 8 hour EVA 5 days a week
• Pressure Garment– Single garment per crewmember per increment– Pressure garment provides thermal protection, regolith
mitigation, possibly limited radiation protection– PG will likely be a hybrid of common and custom sized
components until an adequate “fleet” is on hand to accommodate all crewmembers
– Pressure garment is maintainable on the lunar surface• Portable Life Support System (PLSS)
– Separate backpack, similar to Apollo approach– PLSS maintainable on the lunar surface– Major trade for next phase will be to study the design to determine best mix of
EVA and other external Lunar surface operations– PLSS can be recharged on rovers, so crewmembers generally egress the rover
with a full backpack– Backpack will provide advanced EVA time/consumables/location management to
crewmember
Key Points: Surface Mobility
• 4 basic mobility elements examined in depth– Unpressurized rover– Pressurized rover– Something to move large payloads
• Surface Mobility Carrier OR• Whole Lander Transport
– Crew Aids
• Trades still to be performed– Pressurized rovers vs mobile lander or mobile habitat
• Only relevant if some or all habitats (or whole landers) have built in mobility– Surface Mobility Carrier vs Whole Lander Transport
• Device capable of moving up to 6MT of payload or a device that moves the whole lander
Point of Departure Only
Surface Mobility Assumptions & Constraints
• Potential capability buildup– 2020 – 2 Un-pressurized rovers, 2 to 4 crew, at least 50km range– 2021 – Capability to move large components (6 mT to 20 mT) at least 500m during 1
EVA time period– 2022 – Crew aids and pack-mule (multiple devices)– 2025 to 2027 – One pressurized rover – 2 crew, 500km round trip capability
• Assumptions– Unpressurized rovers able to perform work without
humans on the surface– Habitation Module and other movable payloads mass
less than 6 Metric tons – Many capabilities developed for unpressurized rover
can be reused on other mobility systems (Navigation sensors, Command & control, etc.)
– Smaller mobility systems can share common chassis/drive system with ISRU mobility platforms
– All mobility systems designed to last at least 5 years or longer on the surface of the moon

• Short missions via DTE and 1 relay• Extended missions via DTE & 2 relays.
Key Points: In-Situ Resources Utilization (ISRU)
• ISRU is a critical capability and key implementation of the VSE
• ISRU is also unproven
• Therefore, ISRU is manifested to take incremental steps toward the desired endstate
• Architecture takes advantage of ISRU from: LSAM residuals, ECLSS by-products, Lunar ISRU
Point of Departure Only
ISRU Capabilities for Human Lunar Exploration
Pre-Outpost• Determine type, amount, and location of possible resources of interest (i.e. ilmenite, water,
etc.) – link to Science objectives if possible• Perform proof-of-concept and risk reduction demonstrations to certify ISRU capabilities for
use at the Outpost - link to commercialization of space if possible• Perform site characterization of topography, subsurface, and lighting conditions
Initial ISRU Capabilities to be pursued during early Outpost(first 5 years)• Pilot-scale oxygen production, storage, & transfer capability (replenish consumables)• Pilot-scale water production, storage, & transfer capability – assuming hydrogen
source/water is accessible• Demonstration of In-situ fabrication and repair demonstration• Possible ISRU Capability under evaluation - Excavation & site preparation (i.e. radiation
shielding for habitats, landing plume berms, landing area clearance, hole or trench for habitat or nuclear reactor, etc.)
Mid-Term ISRU Capabilities - Exploration growth• Propellant production for LSAM• Consumables for Pressurized rover or Hopper from Outpost• Nitrogen demonstration (if accessible and available)• Construction and fabrication demonstrations
Possible Long-Term Lunar Capabilities• In-situ manufacturing and assembly of complex parts and equipment• Habitat and infrastructure construction (surface & subsurface)• In-situ life support – bio support (soil, fertilizers, etc.)• Power generation for Moon and beyond: beaming, etc.

Moon’s Orbit
• The LCROSS Mission is a Lunar Kinetic Impactor employed to reveal the presence & nature of water ice on the Moon– LCROSS Shepherding S/C (S-S/C) directs the 2000[kg]
(4410[lb]) EDUS1 into a permanently-shadowed crater at 2.5[km/s] (1.56 [miles/s])
– ~200 metric tons (220 tons) minimum of regolith will be excavated, leaving a crater the size of ~1/3 of a football field, ~15 feet deep.
– The S-S/C decelerates, observing the EDUS plume, and then enters the plume using several instruments looking for water
– The S-S/C itself then becomes a 700[kg] (1,543[lb]) 'impactor' as well
– Lunar-orbital and Earth-based assets will also be able to study both plumes, (which may include LRO, Chandrayaan-1, HST, etc)
Element Summary – Common Lander
Concept of OperationsThe Lander is placed into a TLI orbit by an EELV. A Star SRM provides the breaking burn for a direct landing trajectory with the on-board liquid propulsion system controlling terminal descent and landing. Precision navigation and hazard avoidance uses a combination of passive and active sensors evolving over time to demonstrate the ALHAT sensor compliment. There are two primary mission scenarios
OverviewThe common Lander is designed to support all Robotic missions with minimal modifications. The Lander has a mission specific “payload” capability of roughly 500kg. Propulsion is a combination of a solid rocket motor and a throttleable hypergolic bi-prop system. Power is provided by solar arrays. The Lander can land within 100m 3σ of a predetermined surface feature and avoid harmful hazards. The concept depicted is a Rim mission configuration.
• 1- Land at an illuminated location and perform fixed measurements over an extended period of time.
• 2-Land and deploy a 500 kg rover in a dark or illuminated area. Launch mass is roughly a little more than 4000 kg
