22 Candidate Science Mission Applications Enabled Significant orbital maneuvering capability of an inexpensive s/c in lunar orbits could be used for: Radio survey and mapping of Moon s radio shadow 9 Observations into polar craters 10 Constellations to measure fields and particles with simultaneous spatial and temporal resolutions 9 Telecom relay from small science packages emplaced out of Earth view on lunar farsideand in some polar craters 10 If you can raise from 110 km circular orbit to escape, the same propulsion technique can be used to go from incoming V- infinity to any orbit 22
23 Summary Developed models to calculate solar sail thrust force based on angle to the sun, inertial position and velocity, sail material properties, and physical area of sail Created simulation to propagate trajectories in Sun-Centered Inertial (SCI) frame, but provided initial conditions and plotted results in Earth-Moon (EM) rotating reference frame Assumed 6U CubeSat can be delivered to a lunar circular orbit by another Moon-bound spacecraft Modeled solar sail propulsion to demonstrate orbit raising Determined L2 halo orbit can be stabilized; will consider using solar sail for this maneuver Established proof of concept for a solar sail orbit raising mission at the Moon with low-mass, low-cost spacecraft (time scale 2-3 years) 23
24 Future Work Design optimal control laws for solar sail pointing Orbit raising maneuver Transfer to L2 halo orbit L2 halo orbit stabilization Design optimal transfer trajectory (from orbit raising trajectory to L2 halo orbit) Implement solar sail visible and radio shadowing functions for increased simulation fidelity 24
