Lunar Lander Attitude Control Scale Up Josh Lukasak Attitude Group Lead Lunar Decent Phase Lead 02/12/09 [Josh Lukasak] [Attitude] (1)
Attitude Problem [Josh Lukasak] [Attitude] (2) • Current Google Lunar X Prize System • 4 kg of Hydrogen Peroxide for 3-axis stabilization. • Wet mass of the Lander, including lunar surface deliverables, of 250 kg. • Wet mass of the Lander could increase by nearly 100 times. • Is it feasible to 3-axis stabilize this large of a mass with thrust scaling at the same rate as mass?

Mass Calculations [Josh Lukasak] [Attitude Group Lead] (5) • M=F x r • M is the induced moment • F is the force or thrust • r is the radius from the force to the center of mass • m is the time averaged mass • M is the induced moment • g is the gravitation constant of 9.80665 m/s^2 • Isp is the specific impulse of Monopropellant Hydrogen Peroxide • L is the distance from the thruster to the center of mass
