  • Cooperative and Robotic Space Systems (6)
    IAC CyberSpace Edition 2020 Paper ID: 61298 oral IAF SPACE SYSTEMS SYMPOSIUM (D1) Cooperative and Robotic Space Systems (6) Author: Mr. Rod Mamin Spacebit Global Ltd, United Kingdom, [email protected] Mr. Charles Lauer Rocketplane Global, Inc., United States, [email protected] Mr. Pavlo Tanasyuk Spacebit Global Ltd, United Kingdom, [email protected] SMALL ROBOTIC SWARM TECHNOLOGIES FOR LUNAR SURFACE EXPLORATION Abstract Spacebit Global is now completing development of its first robotic surface exploration rover scheduled to land on the Moon in the fall of 2021 on the Astrobotic Peregrine lander for their NASA CLPS first mission. The Asagumo rover will deploy from the Peregrine lander and move at least 10 meters from the lander using its unique leg system of locomotion under tele-operation control through the WIFI system resources on the lander. This technology demonstration mission will last for up to 8 days on the lunar surface, and validate the key systems including the legs, the wide field cameras and the 3D LIDAR scanners as well as the ability to tele-operate the rover. The ultimate goal of Spacebit is to use a swarm of Asagumo walking rovers deployed from a wheeled Mother Ship rover to climb down into the surface opening of a lunar lava tube and map the interior of the cave system using its HD cameras and 3D LIDAR surface scanners and temperature and radiation sensors. The swarm rovers and the Mother Ship carrier can also be used for surface assays of mineral and water deposits in lunar craters. For lunar surface mineral assay missions, sensors can be embedded into the feet or the ventral surface of the rover bodies.

The MVA fosters cooperation for existing or planned global moon exploration programs, be they public or private initiatives. The Association comprises more than 200 individual and 25 Institutional members from some 40 countries around the globe, representing a diverse array of technical, scientific, cultural and interdisciplinary fields. MVA held the first International Moon Village Workshop at, and in cooperation with International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, France in October 2017. The second Moon Village Workshop & Symposium (WS&S) was held at the University of Southern California (USC) in cooperation USC and National Space Society (NSS) in Los Angeles, California in November 2018. During December 5-8, 2019 the Moon Village Association organized the third Workshop & Symposium, which was held in Tokyo & Kyoto, Japan, in cooperation with Tokyo University of Science, Kyoto University, and Keio University Institute of Space Law. The third workshop & symposium had over 250 participants from across Japan and the world. See below for a “group photo” from the meeting.

  • IM-1 Lunar Lander Mission
    IM-1 Lunar Lander Mission Intuitive Machines, LLC (“IM”) is seeking to launch and operate the NOVA-C Lunar Lander (“NOVA-C”) spacecraft for approximately 20 days in the 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2290 MHz bands (the “IM-1 mission”). The IM-1 is part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (“CLPS”) program sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) to explore the surface of the Moon. The NOVA-C spacecraft will deliver several NASA and several commercial payloads to the lunar surface, including operations that will advance important U.S. commercial, government, and scientific interests. Spacecraft Description: The NOVA-C spacecraft is a 3-axis stabilized bus, with an approximate wet mass of 1908 kg, measuring 2.19 m x 2.385 m x 3.938 m. Three fixed body-mounted solar panels provide a maximum of 788 W of power, stored in Li-ion batteries, with a total energy capacity of 1554 Wh, and an unregulated 28 VDC bus voltage. Attitude determination and control is achieved with redundant inertial measurement units (“IMUs”), star trackers, and a dual- redundant cold-gas (pressurized helium) reaction control system (“RCS”). The spacecraft will be separated from the Falcon 9 launch vehicle via a RUAG zero-debris deployment system. Spectrum Usage: The NOVA-C spacecraft will transmit and receive using the licensed S-Band frequencies during the planned mission, including: (i) 2025-2110 MHz band (Earth-to-space); and (ii) 2200-2290 MHz band (space-to-Earth). All such operations will be appropriately coordinated with incumbent Federal users. Two commercial payloads on the spacecraft will communicate with NOVA-C during lunar surface operations via 802.11ac Wi-Fi frequencies in the 5.5-5.85 GHz band using off-the-shelf equipment.
