Study Overview
ISS Zvezda Capsule Engines
Features
1. Two 3070N thrusters on ISS Zvezda, 2 axis
mounted2. Pressure fed
from 4 tanks3. Fuel: Nitrogen
tetroxide/ unsymmetrical
dimethyl hydrazine
Pros
1. Significant time spent in
space
Cons
1. Engines used only for
maintenance purposes
2. Complicated fuel
3. No throttling
SpaceX Merlin Vacuum 1C
Features
1. 569,000N thrust in vacuum
2. Fuel: RP-1, standard rocket grade kerosene

Power System (1/2) Power Required
• Solar panels need to generate at least 110 kW to match ISS
• Power used for propulsion, homeostasis, and experiments
Power Storage• Lithium-Ion batteries store twice the
specific energy of Nickel-Hydrogen batteries (used in the ISS)
• Batteries used for “eclipse” times when there is no readily available sunlight

Solar Power Array Design Array comprised of four separate dual-sided panels
arranged in the plane of the trusses Approximately 20,000 available for arrays Minimum of 4000 required for solar arrays Each panel is able to rotate independently about an
individual truss to receive maximum sunlight

Propulsion Merlin Vacuum 1C chosen
Vacuum Thrust: 569kN Vacuum Isp: 304s
Proposed configuration: One Merlin Vacuum 1C in
center of spacecraft for translational maneuvers
One Merlin Vacuum 1C on each pod, mounted with ability to gimbal within plane of mounting○ Allows for maneuvering
redundancy in case of engine failure
○ Allows for main engine assistance with translational maneuvers, if necessary
○ Allows for establishment of artificial gravity for spacecraft simultaneously
