  2. Crew Capsule Selection • Team C4’s crew capsule was selected because it has no external elements, which leaves room for sensors • It also has the highest mass margin, we therefore have the most available sensor mass total to work with

  3. Link Budget Communications link budgets were created for the following links. A safety factor of 2 (3 dB) is used for determining transmitter size and power.

  4. Link Budget - Receivers • The spacecraft will make use of different receivers during the mission; • Deep Space Network • Provides continuous possible coverage from three stations • Large dishes can pick up weak signals • Has some no-coverage spots within 30,000 km altitudes • TDRSS • TDRSS can relay transmissions to grounds stations • Useful if DSN is not available • No atmospheric concerns for signal • L2 Relay satellite • A theoretical satellite in the L2 Lagrangian point will help maintain continuous communication during orbital and lunar surface times on the dark side of the moon • This will be modeled as a TDRSS satellite • EVA suits • Communication must be maintained with crew during all EVA missions

  5. Link Budget - Receivers This table represents the relevant statistics of the various receivers used in this mission.

  6. Link budget - Diagrams Spacecraft to DSN Spacecraft to TDRSS Spacecraft to L2 relay satellite L2 Relay sat to DSN/TDRSS

  7. Link Budget - Spacecraft • To minimize transmitter mass and size, one transmitter dish will be used for all three bands considered • This will limit communications to only one link at a time • Size and power requirements will be dictated by the band with the greatest requirements (in bold)

  8. Link Budget – Relay Sat • The L2 relay sat antenna size is being modeled on TDRSS • We assume that it must reach earth from the L2 Lagrangian position

  9. Link Budget - UHF Omni • UHF omni antenna will be used for both space and lunar EVA • Maximum EVA distance is 10 km (Apollo legacy)

  10. Link Budget – Final Stats These are the final stats, that will drive the size and maximum power draw of the transmitters.

  11. Different Bands of Frequency Microwave Frequency Band

  12. Transmitter Due to the small transmitter being used, signal beams will be narrow. This necessitates accurate transmitter pointing.

  13. Transmitter • Transmitter will be mounted on a 2 DOF rotational mount • Provides 2πsteradian coverage • Spacecraft will contain 2 transmitters at opposite sides • Minimizes spacecraft attitude maneuvers to send a transmission • Provides redundancy in the event of a transmitter failure

  14. Different Bands of Frequency EU, NATO, US ECM frequency designations
