  1. Mars or Bust Preliminary Design Review 12/8/03

  2. Mission Description • Based on the Design Reference Mission from NASA (Hoffman and Kaplan, 1997; Drake, 1998) • Modified to narrow scope of project

  3. Key Assumptions for Design • Only first uncrewed Habitat • Focusing on surface operations • Launch, transit, Mars entry not designed • Interfaces with external equipment • Rovers, power supply, ISRU unit • Crew will use Habitat on arrival

  4. Overall Project Goal • Establish a Martian Habitat capable of supporting humans

  5. Overall - Level 1 Requirements • Support crew of 6 • Support 600 day stay without re-supply • Maintain health and safety of crew • Minimize dependency on Earth

  6. Launch and Deployment Requirements • 80 metric ton launch vehicle • Recommended Total Habitat Mass < 34,000 kg (includes payload) • Deploys 2 years before first crew • Land, deploy, operate, maintain all systems • Setup and check-out before crew arrives • Standby mode for 10 months between crews • Operational lifetime of greater than 15 years

  7. Redundancy Requirements • Mission critical: 2-level redundancy • Life critical: 3-level redundancy • Auto fault detection and correction • Modular • Easily repairable • Electronic and mechanical equipment • Highly autonomous • Self-maintained or crew maintained • If possible self-repairing • All systems in Habitat must have low failure rates

  8. Operations Requirements • Gather information about Mars • Ease of learning • System similarity • Common software and hardware • Real time science activity planning • Integrate In-Situ Resource Utilization System

  9. Mission Architecture • Systems Engineering and Integration • Structures • Command, Control, and Communications (C3) • Power Distribution and Allocation • Environment Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) • Mission Operations and Crew Accommodations • Automation and Robotic Interfaces • Extra Vehicular Activity Systems (EVAS) • Thermal Control • In-situ Resource Utilization Unit (ISRU) and Mars Environment

  11. Systems Engineering and Integration Team • Primary: • Juniper Jairala • Tim Lloyd • Tyman Stephens • Support: • Meridee Silbaugh • Jeff Fehring • Keith Morris

  12. Systems Engineering and Integration Responsibilities • Establish habitat system requirements • Delegate top-level subsystem requirements • Review and reconcile all subsystem design specifications • Ensure that all habitat subsystem requirements are met • Ensure proper subsystem interfaces

  13. DRM Mass Recommendations

  14. Mars Environment and In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Primary • Heather Chluda Support • Keagan Rowley • Keric Hill

  15. Mars Environment Summary • Responsible for collecting data on the Mars Environment • Provides a consistent data set on the Mars Environment for the Habitat design group to use. • Thermal, Radiation, Pressure, Atmosphere, Wind, etc.

  16. Mars Environment Characteristics The Habitat will encounter a wide range of environment characteristics during its surface stay on Mars

  17. Temperatures • Diurnal variation at Viking Lander sites • Seasonal variation: -107 to -18°C winter to summer lows

  18. Radiation • GCR BFO dose equivalent for solar min and max vs. altitude SPE Dose: 5 cSv/yr GCR BFO Dose: 22.3 cSv/yr GCR Skin Dose: 24.7 cSv/yr LEO BFO Limit: 50 cSv/yr LEO Skin Limit: 300 cSv/yr

  19. Martian Atmospheric Constituents

  20. Future Considerations • More detailed temperature and radiation data for specific landing site • Determination of topography of landing site and exploration area • More detailed information from upcoming Mars missions

  21. ISRU Subsystem Summary • Responsible for interface between habitat and ISRU plant • ISRU will provide additional oxygen, nitrogen, and water for habitat use • Non-critical system, demonstration for future mission use

  22. ISRU Level 2 Requirements • Provide additional nitrogen, water and oxygen • Byproducts of propellant production used as backup oxygen, nitrogen, and water • Storage tanks and pipes for the ISRU shall tolerate leaks within limits • Propellant production shall be automated • Acceptable temperatures shall be maintained in storage tanks and piping • Storage interfaces must be compatible with habitat • Pumping systems shall have adequate power to transport oxygen, nitrogen and water to the habitat • Piping and storage tanks must be shielded from Mars Environment • Connections to storage tanks and ISRU tanks must be performed using robots or humans

  35. Volume Allocation

  36. Pressure Shell • Assume aluminum shell • Assume a hollow cylinder, radius 3.5 m • Thickness t = P*r/fy = 1.7 mm for 10.2 psi • Assume pressure shell holds 34 tonnes • Assume launch forces similar to Atlas V • Minimum thickness = 3 mm for stability • Internal trusses carry part of the load

  37. Supports • Assume 6 hollow tube leg supports • Support entire mass of Habitat on Mars • Mars gravity = 3.758 m/s2 • Weight = 128 kN • Maintain stability in Martian wind storm • Maximum wind speed = 127 kph • Maximum wind force = 17 kN • Maximum compressive force = 54.5 kN/leg • Dimensions of leg to minimize mass: • Length = 2 m • Radius = 13 cm • Thickness = 1 mm
