24 Low-Cost Return to the Moon Case Study: Utilizing On-Orbit Assembly and Servicing to Enable Minimum-Cost Space Mission Architectures David L. Akin Mary L. Bowden AIAA Space 2005 Conference Long Beach, CA August 31, 2005

25 NASA Plan (Monolithic Architecture) Low-Cost Return to the Moon Launch entire mission vehicle on single heavy-lift vehicle Launch crew in CEV on human-rated vehicle Earth orbit rendezvous docks crew and CEV to mission spacecraft Lunar orbit staging site leaves CEV in orbit while crew descends to lunar surface Lunar orbit rendezvous for crew to return to CEV CEV departs lunar orbit and travels back to earth (direct atmospheric entry)

26 Modular Architecture Low-Cost Return to the Moon Multiple boost modules launched on EELVs and docked together Lunar landing/ascent vehicle launched on EELV and docked to boost module stack Launch crew in CEV on human-rated EELV Earth orbit rendezvous docks crew and CEV to mission spacecraft Lunar orbit staging site leaves CEV in orbit while crew descends to lunar surface Lunar orbit rendezvous for crew to return to CEV CEV departs lunar orbit and travels back to earth (direct atmospheric entry)

27 So What s the Argument? Low-Cost Return to the Moon Both approaches are ELOR (Earth and lunar orbital rendezvous) Both approaches use CEV and dedicated lunar landing vehicle Both approaches use components from existing launch systems Both approaches have identical safetycritical rendezvous and docking operations

28 What are the Issues? Low-Cost Return to the Moon Pros Cons Monolithic Minimize orbital operations Simpler operations Develop new large launch vehicles and associated ground infrastructure Modular Maximize use of existing assets Minimize nonrecurring costs Multiple docking operations increase odds of mission failure

29 Low-Cost Return to the Moon Lunar Program Assumptions 2 lunar missions/year First lunar mission lunar missions total CEV entry vehicle mass 6000 kg Lander cabin mass 3000 kg ELOR mission with CEV as return craft LOX/LH2 Isp=450 sec Storables Isp=320 sec Inert mass fraction δ=0.1 except 0.15 for landing stage All launch vehicles asymptotically approach 97% reliability Rendezvous and docking reliability 99%

30 Lunar Mission ΔV Requirements Low-Cost Return to the Moon To: From: Low Earth Orbit Lunar Transfer Orbit Low Lunar Orbit Lunar Descent Orbit Lunar Landing Low Earth Orbit km/sec Lunar Transfer Orbit km/sec km/sec km/sec Low Lunar Orbit km/sec km/sec Lunar Descent Orbit km/sec km/sec Lunar Landing km/sec km/sec

31 Candidate Cargo Launch Vehicles Low-Cost Return to the Moon Delta IV Heavy 23K kg to LEO Operational Unmanned Representative of current large EELVs In-line SDLV 125K kg to LEO Conceptual Manned heritage

32 In-line SDLV Assumptions Low-Cost Return to the Moon $8.4B nonrecurring (published estimate) 6 year development cycle $400M first unit production (shuttle parallel) 10 units at 85% learning curve $285M average flight cost

33 Shuttle-Derived CEV Assumptions Low-Cost Return to the Moon $2B nonrecurring (NASA SVLCM estimate for second stage alone) 6 year development cycle $200M first unit production (shuttle parallel) 10 units at 85% learning curve $144M average flight cost

34 Delta IV Heavy Assumptions Low-Cost Return to the Moon RDT&E amortized $2B nonrecurring for human rating $250M first unit 85 vehicle block buy and 85% learning curve yields $92M average cost (includes learning for 255 CBCs) 50% production surcharge for 11 human rated units ($138M)

35 First Boost Module Low-Cost Return to the Moon Mtotal=23,000 kg Mprop=20,700 kg Minert=2300 kg Isp=320 sec

36 Orbital Assembly of Boost Modules Low-Cost Return to the Moon Assembly Mass=138,000 kg

37 Assembly Ready for Crew Launch Low-Cost Return to the Moon Assembly Mass=161,000 kg

38 Earth Departure Configuration Low-Cost Return to the Moon ΔV1=391 m/sec ΔV2=455 m/sec ΔV3=542 m/sec ΔV4=671 m/sec ΔV5=882 m/sec Initial Mass=176,400 kg

39 Lunar Orbit Arrival Low-Cost Return to the Moon ΔV6=166 m/sec (end of TLI) ΔV6=837 m/sec (LOI burn)

40 Lunar Descent Initiation Low-Cost Return to the Moon ΔV6=397 m/sec (start of PDI)

41 Lunar Landing Low-Cost Return to the Moon Ascent stage: Minert=800 kg Mprop=4200 kg Mcrew module=3000 kg Descent stage: Minert=2250 kg Mprop=12,750 kg

42 Lunar Orbit Departure Low-Cost Return to the Moon Earth return stage: Minert=900 kg Mprop=2110 kg MCEV=6000 kg

43 Monolithic Launch Operations Low-Cost Return to the Moon $429M average launch recurring cost Average amortized launch cost $1.45B 93% probability of individual mission initiation Probability of N missions initiating successfully 49% 10/10 85% 9/10 97% 8/10

44 Modular Launch Operations Low-Cost Return to the Moon $829M average launch recurring cost (includes cost of 5 fleet spares) Average amortized launch cost $1.10B 73% probability of individual mission initiation (no spares) Probability of 10 missions initiating successfully 16% (no spares) 71% (2 spares) 88% (3 spares) 96% (4 spares) 99% (5 spares)

45 Head-to-Head Launch Comparison Low-Cost Return to the Moon 2000 Nonrecurring cost ($M) 10, Average production cost per mission ($M) 1096 Average amortized cost per mission ($M) 85 Total production run 432 NPV discounted cost per mission ($M)

46 Sensitivity to Monolithic Costing Low-Cost Return to the Moon $432M Baseline NPV discounted cost per mission $432M Development costs cut in half $432M Production costs cut in half $432M $432M $878M $508M $809M Production is free $740M All costs cut in half $439M

47 Discussion of Reliability Low-Cost Return to the Moon Monolithic architecture loses a mission when a launch or docking fails 75% of modular architecture failures occur on a boost module launch Plan for ready alert spare launch vehicle and boost module Continue mission buildup LV commonality allows robust spares strategy (boost module, CEV, lander) Can work full sparing for monolithic system, but requires both launch vehicle types, pads, etc.

48 Discussion of Costs Low-Cost Return to the Moon Cost benefits of modular systems: Learning curve effects for large production runs Minimum up-front nonrecurring costs Modular systems also benefit from other markets for the same launch vehicles Minimal market synergy for monolithic vehicles In-line SDLV too large (5x current largest vehicle) SRB-based vehicle offers few intrinsic advantages to commercial/dod payloads Lesson: spend your money flying, not developing new vehicles (suggested mantra: flight rate, flight rate, flight rate )

49 Additional Caveats Low-Cost Return to the Moon Didn t consider costing of mission vehicles CEV and lander are comparable for both architectures Additional cost advantages to modular system for smaller size/large production of boost modules as compared to monolithic TLI stage Modular system is sensitive to docking reliability, but it primarily shows up in spares strategy (low marginal cost for larger production run) Could use modular approach with SRBbased CEV launcher - minor overall impact to cost

50 Comments on Modular Architecture Low-Cost Return to the Moon Modular system is highly adaptive to new missions and mass growth (add/subtract modules) Standard boost modules provide infrastructure for aggressive on-orbit operations ( space tugs ) Even with SDLV heavy-lift vehicles, will have to adopt modular-type operations for Mars missions but it is inelegant, complex, and just plain ugly
