Conclusions • Single, liquidfuelled descent manoeuvre has been selected as nominal case • Propulsion Module not in danger of contaminating impact site • Shackleton Crater is a feasible impact site • ADCS must maintain orientation to within 1.5° and maintain a drift rate less than 2.0° per hour • Propulsion must maintain thrust to within 1 N of nominal 60 N case Stephen Lee
Recommendations • Detailed propulsion module separation analysis • Refine SELENE-1 separation manoeuvre • Determine more accurate prediction of propulsion module impact location using Monte-Carlo approach • Further analysis on effect of propulsion subsystem blow-down operation on descent trajectory Stephen Lee
