Sarton du Jonchay T. Hou L. Integrated Analysis Framework for Space Propellant Logistics: Ho K. * Production, Storage, and Transportation [#5003] Our research proposes an integrated ISRU evaluation framework through the network-based space logistics architecture and analyzes the performance of ISRU by considering plant deployment, regular production operations, and propellant storage. 2:15 p.m. Gelino N. J. * Buckles B. C. Construction of Infrastructure is the Key to Establishing a Mueller R. P. 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. A high early value is critical to in situ resource development. Value as a function of launch cost is another hurdle that must be overcome. 2:30 p.m. Discussion: Markets for Lunar Resources 3:00 p.m. Break 3:15 p.m. Meurisse A. * Carpenter J. ISRU: An Approach to Change and Knowledge Gaps to Fill for Viable Processes in Space [#5005] As an interest in ISRU is emerging again, it is important to understand the failure of the past. This work offers a critical look at the past considerations of ISRU activities and proposes a new focus for developing the field in the long- term. 3:20 p.m. Bennett N. J. * An Existing Market for Lunar Propellant — GTO Orbit Raising as a Service [#5043] GTO orbit raising is an existing market for lunar sourced propellant. This market can charge higher prices per kilogram and be serviced by a much smaller mining operation than a LEO market; these factors translate to significantly higher returns. 3:25 p.m. Moderator: MacDonald A.

Characterizing Lunar Polar Volatiles at the Working Scale: Going from ISRU Goals to Mission Requirements [#5025] This paper presents new geostatistical analysis and modeling to quantify critical parameter scales and mission requirements for adequate characterization of polar volatiles. Vonstad F. K. Ferreira P. Using an Interdisciplinary Sample Testing Framework for Borehole Cores [#5051] The research proposed is to create an interdisciplinary Sample Testing Framework for space utilization, combining Earth sciences with current astrobiology testing. 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. Mission Control Space Services Inc. is developing mission control software to address emerging operations and autonomy needs in upcoming privately-led lunar ISRU missions, including improved guidance/navigation/control, communication, and data needs. Wilkes J. M. Greenhouses as the Source of Rare Lunar Resources [#5102] This paper is a discussion of what one would grow in a lunar greenhouse and why. Food and medicine will be mentioned, but the focus is on materials to construct, furnish, operate, and maintain a lunar base which are easiest to import as a seed. Shukla S. Kumar S. Tolpekin V. A. Revisiting the Retention Framework of Lunar Helium-3 Through Space Weathering Processes and Its Implications [#5108] A new space weathering perspective for precisely characterizing lunar Helium-3, wherein higher retentivity of hydrated pyroclasts is observed as part of preliminary survey. Such regoliths provide potential mining sites to develop lunar energy market. Taylor G. J. Blake D. F. Sarrizin P. XTRA: An Extraterrestial Regolith Analyzer for Bristow T. F. Martel L. M. Lucey P. G. Resource Exploration [#5116] Zacny K. Downs R. Chen J. Dera P. A new X-ray diffraction/X-ray fluorescence instrument will aid in Gailhanou M. McKenzie W. Quinn R. resource exploration and process monitoring. Thomson K. Walroth R. Joshi D. R. Eustes A. W. Rostami J. Using Real-Time Drilling Data to Characterize Water-Ice on Dreyer C. Zody Z. Liu W. the Moon [#5127] This paper offers the details of the design of the test drill unit based on heritage drill systems used by NASA and others. The paper discusses the acquisition and analysis of the drilling data to assess the strength and water content in the PSRs. Monday, July 15, 2019 POSTER SESSION: IDENTIFICATION OF RESOURCES 5:00 p.m. USRA Education Gallery Authors Abstract Title and Summary Brown H. M. Robinson M. S. 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.
