GN&C Objective: To deliver Daedalus from 5km altitude safely and accurately to the lunar surface • Provides Completely Autonomous Landing sequence • Very Precise landing location • Landing location determined before launch • Hazard Avoidance
Daedalus Communications Earth Receiver and Transmitter LRO to Earth using Ka-band Data Rate: 100 Mbps LRO Daedalus to LRO using Ka-Band Data Rate: 100 Mbps View Time: 1 Hour per Day (approx) Penetrators to LRO using UHF Data Rate: 2 Kbps Daedalus Lunar Penetrators
Daedalus Structures Landing Scenario • A 8200 Newton load was applied to the foot of the leg assembly. • Loads were then transferred to the chassis • Results indicate the Minimum Factor of Safety is 1.15
Daedalus Structures Launch Scenario • To simulate loads experienced at launch a 54000 Newton load was applied. • Results indicate the Minimum Factor of Safety is 1.3
