1 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 No phones, computers, or internet-enabled devices. Use the spaces following the questions to write your answers; you can also use the backs of the pages as necessary, but be sure to label which problem you are working on. Do not get stuck on a problem - if the solution method isn t apparent, move on and come back to it as time allows. Print your name neatly!!! (For that matter, please print everything neatly, and it wouldn t hurt to draw boxes around your answers, either.) (1) A program plan can be represented by the following graphic: (a) What is the critical path? Dasher-Vixen-Cupid-Blitzen (b) What is the shortest possible time for completion of the program? 10 weeks (c) What is the slack time for task Dancer? 2 weeks (d) What is the general name for this type of diagram? PERT chart 1
2 2 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 (2) You are in the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth (µ98,604 km, sec 2 r E 678 km) at an altitude of 400 km. You have been informed of a potential collision with orbital debris in a geostationary transfer orbit with a perigee identical to your orbital altitude, and an apogee radius of 42,240 km. The plane of the debris orbit is perpendicular to your orbital plane. When the debris has its closest approach, what will its velocity be with respect to ISS? Your velocity: µ km V circ r circ sec Debris velocity at perigee: µ V p r p 2r a r p + r a (42240) km sec Since the two velocities are orthogonal, V relative Vcirc 2 + V p km sec () Exploration of Phobos will entail a great deal of extravehicular activity. The space suits that will be used will have a 4. psi internal pressure with 100% oxygen. The Phobos Outpost habitat should have an atmosphere which will allow immediate transition to EVA with a decompression ratio of no more than R1.4. It must also have a partial pressure of O 2 of.0 psi. (a) Assuming you go EVA directly from the Phobos Outpost habitat, calculate the total pressure and oxygen percentage of the habitat to limit the decompression R to 1.4. R ppn 2(hab) P total (suit) ppn 2(hab) R P total (suit) 1.4(4.) 6.02 psi P total (hab) ppn 2 (hab) + ppo 2 (hab) psi %O 2 ppo 2(hab) P total (hab).0.26% O2 9.02
3 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 (b) Another concept for outpost operations is to have small Space Exploration Vehicles (SEVs) which transport crew to the exploration site, and support EVA at that point. The SEV atmosphere also must have an O 2 partial pressure of psi. Assuming the Outpost habitat has an Earth sea level atmosphere (14.7 psi, 21% O 2 ), select an atmosphere (total pressure and O 2 %) for the SEV such that the R value transitioning from the outpost to the SEV is equal to the R value from the SEV cabin to EVA.

4 4 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 (5) United Launch Alliance recently had the 100 th successful launch of an Atlas V, with no failures. (a) What reliability can they claim at an 80% confidence level? R C 1 R (1 C) 1/ % (b) If their next flight fails, what confidence level would they have for your estimate from (a)? R R 100 (1 R)+C 1 C 1 R R 100 (1 R) % (6) The Space Launch System will have four RS-25 engines in the core vehicle, and two solid rocket boosters (SRBs). Assume the reliability for an RS-25 is 99.5%, and for an SRB is 99.8%. The upper stage uses four RL-10 engines with a reliability of 99.2%. (a) If all the rocket engines must operate for a successful launch, what launch reliability will the SLS have? R total R n RS25 RS25 Rn SRB SRB Rn RL10 RL (b) If the vehicle can be successful with the failure of one RS-25, what is the new system reliability?

5 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, (7) At the distance of the Earth from the sun (1 A.U.), the insolation constant I s is 194 W m 2. There is a planar photovoltaic array positioned perpendicularly to the sunlight, where the front (sun-facing) surface has the properties α f 0.9, ɛ f 0.7, and the back surface characteristics are α b 0., ɛ b Assume the array is isothermal. (a) Calculate the temperature of the array from radiative equilibrium (σ [ α f AI s Aɛ f σt 4 + Aɛ b σt 4 T [ 0.9(194) ( ) α f I s σ(ɛ f + ɛ b ) ] K ] 1 4 W m 2 K 4 ). (b) If the maximum operating temperature for the array is 155 o C (428 K), what is the closest distance to the sun at which the array is usable? α f AI s Aɛ f σt 4 lim + Aɛ bσt 4 lim I s ɛ f + ɛ b α f σt 4 lim (428) W 0.9 m 2 Since the solar insolation constant is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, I s I s ( rlim r EO ) 2 r lim I s I s r EO 194 (1 AU) AU 277 EmphIf, on the other hand, you remembered that 1 AU149,500,000 km, an equally good answer is 97,510,000 km (8) Which of the following numbers have too many significant figures to be appropriate in an engineering presentation?

6 6 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 (9) A lunar base experiences 1 days of continuous solar illumination adequate for the use of photovoltaic arrays, followed by 15 days of darkness or dawn/dusk time where energy storage has to be used. The base uses 10 kw of electrical power during the day, and 15 kw at night. Extra power must be generated in the daytime to recharge the energy storage system. Assuming the energy storage charge/discharge cycle is perfectly efficient, and power generation using sun-tracking photovoltaic arrays with a conversion efficiency of 22%, calculate the required surface area of solar arrays for the base. [Use the value of I s from above.] Daytime energy (10 kw )(1 d)(24 hr ) 120 kw hr d Nighttime energy (15 kw )(15 d)(24 hr ) 5400 kw hr d E total E day + E night kw hr All of that energy must be generated during the daytime, so P E total kw t day 1(24) A array P m2 ηi s 0.22(194) (10) If a rocket engine has a first unit production cost of $100,000,000 and a learning curve rate of 76%, what is the production cost of the 100 th unit produced? ln 0.76 LC 76% p ln 2 C 100 C 1 (n) p 100, 000, 000(100) $16,150,000
7 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, (11) For maneuvering around Phobos, you are going to use N 2 O cold gas system for propulsion, with a specific impulse of 70 sec when used at an ambient temperature of 00K. (a) If you put heaters in the thrusters to increase the N 2 O temperature to 700K, what is the new specific impulse? I sp T M T 700 I sp I sp T sec (b) If you dissociate the N 2 O to form N 2 + 1/2 O 2 at a temperature of 1500K, what would the new specific impulse be? (Hint: the atomic weight of N14, and O16.) M N2O ; Mdiss 1 ( ) 29. T I sp M 1500 I sp M T sec (12) If you assume the inflation rate will be constant at 2.% per year, what will $1 in 2015 be equal to in 2025 dollars?

8 8 ENAE 48/788D FINAL EXAMINATION FALL, 2015 (1) Like Mark Watney, you find yourself left behind on the surface of Mars with no way to communicate. However, there is a Phobos Outpost, so you just have to make it there to be saved. The required v is 5000 m/sec. µ Mars 42,970 km /sec 2, r Mars 9 km (a) You manage to find some stored LOX and methane propellants, which has a specific impulse of 70 sec. The automated spacecraft manufacturing system (which is conveniently available) can produce a launch vehicle with an inert mass fraction δ0.08. You found an old Mars lander cabin which you will use as your spacecraft, for a total payload mass of 5000 kg. Design a single stage to orbit launch vehicle that will get you into Mars orbit. Specify gross mass, inert mass, and propellant mass for this vehicle. r e v gisp e (70) (I m sure everyone remembers that g in the preceding equation is a conversion factor from force to mass, and has nothing to do with the local gravitational acceleration...) λ r δ ; m o m P L λ ,095 kg m in δm o 0.08(29, 095) 228 kg ; m pr (1 r)m o ( )(29095) 21,769 kg (b) It turns out you don t have enough propellant at the site to use a single-stage launch vehicle. Design a two-stage launch vehicle using the same parameters, maximizing the payload fraction to orbit. Again, list gross mass, inert mass, and propellant mass for each stage. How much total propellant mass do you need to make this system viable? What was your distribution of v between the two stages? Since I sp1 I sp2 and δ 1 δ 2, a reasonable approach would be to assume v 1 v 2 v 1 v m sec r 1 r λ 1 λ m o2 m P L λ 2 11,85 kg ; m in2 δ 2 m o kg ; m pr2 (1 r 2 )m o kg m o1 m o2 λ 1 28,101 kg ; m in1 δ 1 m o kg ; m pr1 (1 r 1 )m o1 14,000 kg Total propellant required 19,905 kg
