1 MarcoPolo- R NASA Contribu-on Andrew Cheng andrew.cheng@jhuapl.edu European Science Leads: Antonella Barucci and Patrick Michel 1/8/2014 1

2 MarcoPolo- R Sample Return MP- R is a medium- class mission complefng Assessment Phase for ESA Cosmic Vision MP- R is one of five missions in the M3 compeffon MP- R is the only planetary mission in the compeffon ESA selecfon of M3 mission in February, 2014 for flight in If MP- R is selected by ESA, NASA is ready to make a contribufon of up to $50 M A JAXA contribufon is also offered ESA website hyp://sci.esa.int/marcopolo- r/ See also hyp:// R 1/8/2014 2

3 MP- R Science Goals Unchanged from 2013 report to SBAG MarcoPolo- R will return a sample from a near- Earth asteroid (NEA) MarcoPolo- R aims to provide crucial scienffic results to answer the following key quesfons: 1. What was the astrophysical se_ng of the birth of the Solar System? 2. What is the origin of material in the early Solar System and how did it evolve? 3. What are the physical properfes and evolufon of the building blocks of terrestrial planets? 4. How do organics in primifve NEAs relate to the origin of life on Earth? 1/8/2014 3

4 MP- R Science ObjecFves 1/8/2014 4

5 MP- R Target Asteroid New target, the C- complex Near Earth Asteroid [341843] 2008EV5 Target is a PHA Size and shape from radar (400 m diameter) RotaFon period ± hr Pole eclipfc (180, - 84 ) ± 10 Albedo 0.12 ± 0.04 Spectra consistent with CI (Orgueil- like) 1/8/2014 5

6 MP- R Reference Payload MaNAC - Narrow Angle Camera CUC - Close- Up Camera MaRIS - Visible and near- infrared imaging spectrometer THERMAP - Mid- infrared spectro- imager RSE - Radio Science Experiment VISTA2 - VolaFle In- Situ Thermogravimetry Analyzer 1/8/2014 6

7 MP- R Mission Profile Mission target is the primifve NEA [341843] 2008EV5 Albedo similar to Ceres, suggesfng disfnct composifon from OSIRIS- REx target May have accreted in a volafle- rich region and may be a transifonal object Highly accessible target allows shorter mission and lower mission cost Soyuz- Fregat launch in Dec 2022 Backup launches in Dec 2023 and 2024 Asteroid rendezvous Jan 2025 Asteroid stay of 180 days CharacterizaFon and sample collecfon of the order of 100 g Earth return to Woomera, Australia in Jun /8/2014 7

8 Sampling Requirements From ESA document R- TS- 010: Also: MP- R requirements for contaminafon, curafon, global characterizafon of asteroid, local characterizafon of 5 candidate sampling sites, sampling of solid surfaces (not just loose regolith) and pebbles 1/8/2014 8

9 MarcoPolo- R NASA ContribuFon PotenFal NASA contribufon to MP- R includes the MarcoPolo- R Integrated Sampling Mechanism (MPRISM) MPRISM integrates pyrotechnic rock chippers with the OSIRIS- REx gas- driven sampler, TAGSAM Rock chipper OSIRIS- REx sample arm MPRISM Sampling system consists of the TAGSAM gas- driven sampler with rock chippers Up To 3 Sample Acquisi-on AIempts Enabled Upon contact with asteroid surface, rock chipper is fired and high pressure N 2 gas flow is ini-ated Chipper dislodges and breaks up consolidated surface, large regolith par-cles for collec-on Gas fluidizes dislodged and surface regolith and carries it into the collec-on tray on the TAGSAM Head Simula-on and tes-ng have confirmed that 3- cm par-cles can be collected Poten-al NASA contribu-ons also include a scanning mechanism for the MaRIS near- IR imaging spectrometer, a payload instrument selected for MarcoPolo- R 1/8/2014 9

10 MPRISM MPRISM integrates rock chippers (three projecfle launchers) with OSIRIS- REx TAGSAM for enhanced sampling capability For strong surfaces For rough, highly porous surfaces Leverages TAGSAM for lower cost and risk Meets all MP- R sampling requirements TesFng of TAGSAM with and without chipper, using OSIRIS- REx regolith simulant, shows that chipper significantly increases collected sample Without chipper, MPRISM retains full capability of TAGSAM for sampling OSIRIS- REx simulant TesFng of MPRISM has verified sample collecfon from Allende meteorite and from pumice stones; also collecfon from depth >6 cm; also collecfon of intact parfcles >2.5 cm size 1/8/

11 MPRISM Test VerificaFon MPRISM enhanced sampling capability increases range of poten-al sampling sites 1/8/
