Hoyt, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The Phase I effort developed a design for a space systems architecture for repeatedly transporting payloads between low Earth orbit and the surface of the moon without significant use of propellant. This architecture consists of one rotating tether in elliptical, equatorial Earth orbit and a second rotating tether in a circular low lunar orbit. The Earth-orbit tether picks up a payload from a circular low Earth orbit and tosses it into a minimal-energy lunar transfer orbit. When the payload arrives at the Moon, the lunar tether catches it and deposits it on the surface of the Moon. Simultaneously, the lunar tether picks up a lunar payload to be sent down to the Earth orbit tether. By transporting equal masses to and from the Moon, the orbital energy and momentum of the system can be conserved, eliminating the need for transfer propellant. Using currently available high-strength tether materials, this system could be built with a total mass of less than 28 times the mass of the payloads it can transport.

  • The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011
    MMM Theme Issues: The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011 The Moon Would Seem to be a Tough Nut to Crack Until we look Closer At first we may not be able to produce “first choice” alloys and other building and manufacturing materials, but what we can produce early on will be adequate to substitute for enough products that the gross tonnage of imports from Earth can be cut to a fraction. Power Generation is essential. Better, as we point out in Foundation 2 above, the Moon has the real estate advantage of “location, location, location.” As a result, anything produced on the Moon could be shipped to space facilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) at a cost advantage of equivalent products manufactured on Earth. Thus the cost of importing to the Moon those things that cannot yet be manufactured there, could be ofset by exports of Lunar manufactured goods and materials to markets in LEO and GEO. Production of consumer goods will be important and enterprise will be a key factor. It will take time, but financial break-even is possible in time. The obstacles are great. But once you look closely at the options, these obstacles fall in the ranks of those that faced MMM Theme Issues: The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011 pioneers of other frontiers on Earth in eras gone by. Establishing and then elaborating the roots and possibilities of a lunar economy sufcient to support permanent pioneer frontier settlements are there, and treating them one by one has been a major theme of Moon Miners’ Manifesto through the years.

  • Motorised Momentum Exchange Space Tethers: the Dynamics of Asymmetrical Tethers, and Some Recent New Applications

This paper reports on a first attempt to model the dynamics of an asymmetrical motorised momentum exchange tether for spacecraft payload propulsion, and it also provides some interesting summary results for two novel applications for motorised momentum exchange tethers. The asymmetrical tether analysis is very important because it represents the problematic scenario when payload mass unbalance intrudes, due to unexpected payload loss or failure to retrieve. Mass symmetry is highly desirable both dynamically and logistically, but it is shown in this paper that there is still realistic potential for mission rescue should an asymmetry condition arise. Conceptual designs for tethered payload release from LEO and lunar tether delivery and retrieval are also presented as options for future development. 1 Introduction Momentum exchange tether dynamics have been extensively studied in recent years, and are of current considerable interest internationally as a technology for cost effective and environmentally clean propulsion of payload mass from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). A conceptual design for a motorised momentum exchange tether is given in Figure 1 where the central facility motor drive shaft attaches to the propulsion sub-spans by mean of a gantry, mounted so that it can be rotated by the shaft.

Barbee,∗ Salvatore Alfano,y Elfego Pinon˜ ,z Kenn Gold,x and David Gaylor{ The amount of hazardous debris in Earth orbit has been increasing, posing an ever- greater danger to space assets and human missions. In January of 2007, a Chinese ASAT test produced approximately 2600 pieces of orbital debris. In February of 2009, Iridium 33 collided with an inactive Russian satellite, yielding approx- imately 1300 pieces of debris. These recent disastrous events and the sheer size of the Earth orbiting population make clear the necessity of removing orbital de- bris. In fact, experts from both NASA and ESA have stated that 10 to 20 pieces of orbital debris need to be removed per year to stabilize the orbital debris environ- ment. However, no spacecraft trajectories have yet been designed for removing multiple debris objects and the size of the debris population makes the design of such trajectories a daunting task. Designing an efficient spacecraft trajectory to rendezvous with each of a large number of orbital debris pieces is akin to the fa- mous Traveling Salesman problem, an NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem in which a number of cities are to be visited in turn.

Cartmell 2 School of Engineering, University of Glasgow 3 For human colonization of the Moon to become reality an efficient and regular means of exchanging resources between the Earth and Moon must be established. One possibility is to pass and receive payloads at regular intervals between a symmetrically laden motorized momentum exchange tether orbiting about Earth and a second or- biting about the Moon. There are significant challenges associated with this method; amongst the greatest of which is the development of a system which incorporates the complex motion of the Moon into its operational architecture in addition to having the capability of conducting these exchanges on a per-lunar-orbit basis. One way of achieving this is a method by which a motorized tether orbiting Earth can track the nodes of the Moon’s orbit and allow payload exchanges to be undertaken periodically with the arrival of the Moon at either of these nodes.

  • NASA's New Emphasis on In-Space Propulsion Technology Research
    NASA’s New Emphasis on In-Space Propulsion Technology Research Les Johnson Advanced Space Transportation Program/TD15 NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama 35812 USA Phone: 256–544–0614 E-Mail: [email protected] IEPC-01-001 ABSTRACT NASA’s Advanced Space Transportation Program (ASTP) is investing in technologies to achieve a factor of 10 reduction in the cost of Earth orbital transportation and a factor of 2 reduction in propulsion system mass and travel time for planetary missions within the next 15 yr. Since more than 70% of projected launches over the next 10 yr will require propulsion systems capable of attaining destinations beyond low-Earth orbit (LEO), investment in in-space tech- nologies will benefit a large percentage of future missions. The ASTP technology portfolio includes many advanced propulsion systems. From the next- generation ion propulsion system operating in the 5–10 kW range to fission-powered multikilowatt systems, substantial advances in spacecraft propulsion performance are antici- pated. Some of the most promising technologies for achieving these goals use the environment of space itself for energy and propulsion and are generically called “propellantless,” because they do not require onboard fuel to achieve thrust. An overview of state-of-the-art space pro- pulsion technologies, such as solar and plasma sails, electrodynamic and momentum transfer tethers, and aeroassist and aerocapture, will also be described. Results of recent Earth-based technology demonstrations and space tests for many of these new propulsion technologies will be discussed.
