  2. Presentation Outline • Derived Requirements • Current Dimensional Constraints • Launch & Impact g-loads • Regolith Resistance to Penetration • Nose Cone & Attachment Methods • Module Architecture • Rocket Motor Attachment & Ejection • Future Work Curtis Arends

  3. Derived Requirements The structure shall: • Remain within volume requirements of 8000 cm3 • Protect payload from a minimum 3900 gees [TBC] • Penetrate to a depth of 1.5 m to 2.5 m • Provide interface modules for the payload • Mechanically separate [TBD] m from SELENE I • Eject rocket motor 4.8 m [TBC] from velocity vector Curtis Arends

  4. Current Dimensional Constraints 6 cm 5 cm 30 cm + LN Curtis Arends

  5. H-11A Launch g-load Curtis Arends

  6. Theoretical Impact g-load D E P T H g Curtis Arends

  7. Resistance to Penetration Regolith Description • Basaltic composition • Dry, dense particles • Traces of water ice Earth Comparison • Ice (S=5) • Frozen soil (S=2.75) • Dense, dry sand (S=2 to 4) • 4 m • REGOLITH  S=2.5 Curtis Arends

  8. Nose Performance Coefficient Young’s Sandia Equation For 2 kg < mass < 27 kg: Nose Coefficient Required  N = 0.776 Curtis Arends
