Cislunar Economy [#5072] Government funded infrastructure in Cislunar space and on the lunar surface will be pivotal in establishing a Cislunar economy. Government, industry, and academia must define the highest return on investment areas for government funded infrastructure and develop it. 2:20 p.m. Blair B. R. * Emerging Markets for Lunar Resources [#5046] Recent movements in commercial space investment have inspired quantitative market models for lunar propellant and related commodities on the lunar surface, Earth-Moon Lagrange points, in lunar orbit, and in high-traffic inclinations of Earth orbit. 2:25 p.m. Bienhoff D. G. * Markets for Lunar ISRU Products and Their Value [#5018] Lunar ISRU products and their value as a function of use location for CSDC’s architecture is discussed.

This would be done using the newly developed Sample Testing Framework. Barnhard G. P. Surface-to-Surface Power Beaming [#5093] Space Power Beaming & Ancillary Services (SPB&AS) technology to be used to provide wireless utility services (e.g., power, data, communications, navigation, time, heat, etc.) in the lunar environment in a cost and resource effective manner. Battler M. Faragalli M. Reid E. Cole M. Supporting ISRU Missions Through Mission Raimalwala K. Smal E. Vandermeulen M. Control Software [#5095] Aziz M.

Identifying Resource-Rich Lunar Permanently Shadowed Regions [#5035] Boyd A. K. We compare the lunar polar volatile datasets in order to identify sites that are most likely to host volatiles, and rank PSRs by resource potential. Jozwiak L. M. Patterson G. W. Mini-RF Monostatic Radar Observations of Permanently Shadowed Perkins R. Crater Floors [#5079] We used Mini-RF to analyze the CPR of flat PSR and non-PSR crater floors at the lunar north and south pole. No significant differences in the CPR were observed, suggesting water ice may not be preferentially concentrated in shadowed regions. Barker D. C. Lunar Resources: From Finding to Making Demand [#5083] The current model of spaceflight is insufficient to kick-start off Earth ISRU, mining and usage of lunar resources. A paradigm shift, either by NASA or privately, must be initiated in a sustainable and long-term manner, if actual headway is to occur. Schmitt H.

  • Abstract #1643
    1/20/2017 CIM | TPMS | Abstract #1643 English Proving and Improving Martian Mining ISRU technology in Hawai`i The island of Hawai`i has been the stage for the only NASA ISRU field tests in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Focused on lunar ISRU and the RESOLVE/Resource Prospector Mission, much can be learned and developed from these experiences as applied to Martian ISRU. Hawaiian tephra has proven geochemical similarities to Mars, and also is the source of the geotechnical NASAJSC1A Mars Simulant. Hawaii is ideal for long term facilities/equipment testing and operational models needed prior to extended human missions to Mars.

This primer provides an overview of seven major areas of the natural space environment including brief definitions, related programmatic issues, and effects on various spacecraft subsystems. The primary focus is to present more than 100 case histories of spacecraft failures and anomalies documented from 1974 through 1994 attributed to the natural space environment. A better understanding of the natural space environment and its effects will enable spacecraft designers and managers to more effectively minimize program risks and costs, optimize design quality, and achieve mission objectives. .o° 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS
