  1. L.U.N.A.R.Eggs-PrizeLanding Unique Navigable Astronaut-Controlled Rovers AMY BARTLETT NASA MESSENGER FELLOW RAYMOND S. KELLIS H.S. MARE GILMORE, M.Ed. LIED CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

  2. Payload Protection • Payload = anything in the spacecraft • Astronauts • Food • Medical equipment • Science Experiments • Electronics • Size limited by vehicle • Means of protection: • Reducing spacecraft speed/impact • Restraint • Cushioning • Trapped air • Expendable cushioning material

  3. Apollo – Payload Recovery • Ablative heat shield • Water landing • Parachute for ocean recovery

  4. Shuttle – Payload Recovery • Heat Tiles • Beta Cloth • S-Curve

  5. Phoenix - EDL

  6. Spirit and Opportunity - EDL

  7. Mars Science Laboratory – Curiosity EDL Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

  8. Lunar Lander - Past • 2 crew members • Seven days on the surface • Return to Earth • Airlock for surface activities • Descent stage: • Aerozine 50 (fuel) • Nitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer) • Ascent stage: • Aerozine 50 (fuel) • Nitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)

  9. Possible Destinations • Destinations • ISS • Moon • Mars • Earth Return • Asteroids • K.I.S.S. • Safety • Launch Abort System • Robust Thermal Protection • Landing Choices (land or water)

  10. Landing Sites: Past: Future:

  11. LRO Maps for Landing Site Selection 6976.11

  12. Lunar Landing Site Selection Rank sites based on criteria, determine weights of each criteria, and calculate scores to determine the best landing site. 6976.12

  13. Where should we land?

  14. Bigelow BA330 Model

  15. Google Lunar X PRIZE Video Clip

  16. Payload Package • Destination: Moon • Payload: raw egg • Drop test: 15-25 feet • Location TBD when we arrive • Guidelines: • Self-deployed • Contained within cardboard (when dropped) or attached at top only

  17. Payload Ops Specifications: Your lander • You will be given the following materials: • 30 cm x 45 cm sheet of cardboard (Orion size limitation) • 30 cm of duct tape • Egg (your delicate payload…yes, it’s raw) • 100 credits for additional materials • Balloons 20 • Nylons 15 • Ripstop Nylon 15 • Tissue Paper 5 • Cotton balls 2 • Straws 2 • String (30 cm) 2 • Duct tape (1 cm) 1 • Surviving egg required • Low budget spacecraft wanted

  18. Payload Ops Specifications: Your rover • You will be given the following materials: • 30 cm x 45 cm sheet of cardboard (Orion size limitation) • 30 cm of duct tape • 100 credits for additional materials • Water bottle 20 • Balloon 20 • Dowel rod 10 • Cardboard tube 5 • Wheel 5 • Pipe cleaner 5 • Craft stick 5 • Straw 2 • Duct tape (1 cm) 1 • Must ride inside the pod • Must work without repair after landing

  19. Payload Ops Scoring • Rovers packed in pod, dropped • No repairs allowed on rover after drop • Egg rides in ziplock bag in or on the rover • Surviving egg required • Points awarded for the accuracy of the landing • Points awarded for the distance covered by rover • Points awarded for unused credits in the budget
