This feature enables the accurate evaluation of a much larger trade space than with traditional linear methods that are only valid in the local neighborhood of a particular point design. 11 Key Decision Attributes ID KDA Name KDA Type Definition Units Low High Architecture Non-Recurring Non-Recurring Cost of A-1 Cost Delta off Reference Cost Ascent/Descent/TVE relative to baseline FY19$M -160 530 Architecture architecture Recurring Cost of Ascent/Descent/TVE Architecture Recurring (Production Cost + Operations Cost Per A-2 Cost Delta off Reference Cost FY19$M -200 375 Mission + Launch Cost) relative to Architecture baseline architecture HLS Development, Number of Months from ATP to Landing A-3 Production, and Flight Schedule Months 36 84 on Lunar Surface Schedule A-4 HLS Reliability Reliability System Hardware Reliability Per Mission % 95% 100% Level of Extensibility to Achieving A-5 HLS Extensibility Extensibility Non-Dimensional 3 15 Sustained Lunar Architecture Percent Launch Vehicle Payload Mass A-6 LV Payload Mass Margin Performance Margin Relative to Ascent/Descent/TVE % -50% 50% Launch Mass Percent Launch Vehicle Payload Length LV Payload Envelope A-7 Performance Margin Relative to Descent/TVE Stowed % -25% 50% Margin Length 12 How Are We Measuring HLS Architecture Extensibility? • Treated as a non-dimensional parameter for initial trade study • Provides credit for element / mission design choices that align with long-term HLS Architectures – ISRU, Global Surface Access, 4 crew capable HLS designs Ascent KDA Propellant Combination Lunar Surface Element Crew Score Access Ascent – Descent (+TVE) Cabin Mass 1 Storable – Storable Polar 2 mT 2 LOX/CH4 – Storable 3 Storable – LOX/CH4 3 mT LOX/CH4 – LOX/CH4 4 Storable – LOX/LH2 5 LOX/CH4 – LOX/LH2 Global 4 mT Cryogens, Global Lunar Surface Access, and Larger Ascent Elements Receive Higher Utility Scores 13 Utility Functions 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.6 0.6 0.6 u(x) u(x) 0.4 0.4 u(x) 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 -160 -22 116 254 392 530 -200 -85 30 145 260 375 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 HLS Architecture Non- HLS Architecture Recurring HLS Architecture Development Recurring Cost Delta (FY19$M) Cost Delta (FY19$M) Schedule (Montes from ATP) 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 u(x) u(x) u(x) 0.4 0.4 0.4 u(x) 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 -50% -25% 0% 25% 50% 95% 96% 97% 98% 99% 100% 0.0 -25% 0% 25% 50% HLS System Hardware 3 6 9 12 15 Launch Vehicle Payload Mass Launch Vehicle Envelope Reliability HLS Architecture Extensibility Margin Margin Utility Functions Are Defined for Each Key Decision Attribute Based on Customer Preferences 14 Key Decision Attribute Baseline Weightings Reliability and Development Schedule Weighted Highest; Recurring Cost and Extensibility Weighted Lowest 15 Analysis Results and Observations 16 HLS Element Non-Recurring Price Breakdown Price Breakdown Transfer Vehicle shown for Element Reference 28% Architecture Descent Element 56% Ascent Element 16% Commonality between Descent and TVE reduces development costs of TVE.
