1 CTV: Damocles Method of Configuration Restrictions on Component Placement Mission Accomplishments Final Configuration and Specifications

2 7 Wonders of Damocles Manned Interplanetary Travel Artificial Gravity Refueling on an Asteroid Internet, Video, and Cerial Positioning System Carrying Science Material Return To Earth Reusable for Future Missions

3 Designing Damocles All recoverable components must be shielded by a single piece shield 8.8 m Aeroshell

4 Designing Damocles Attic -Crew Cabin contains center of mass during aerocapture. -MORS Engine and Capsule Storage located on opposite end. Crew Living Area Aeroshell

5 Designing Damocles -Reactor on opposite end to allow heat rejection. Capsule MORS -Optical communication unobstructed by primary tanks. PWR Reactor Telescope Attic Crew Living Area Aeroshell

6 Designing Damocles Capsule MORS Reactor Chassis MPDs Telescope Gravity Cables Attic Aeroshell -Structure built to house components and reel system for tethers. -MPD thrusters placed on tethers. Crew Living Area

7 Designing Damocles -Central structure assembled and launched as single piece -Propellant tanks attach around chassis LH 2 LOX Kick Motor Ceres Regime Motor

8 Designing Damocles - Tanks fit around central structure Primary Tanks Secondary Tanks Chassis Structure

9 Designing Damocles -Capsule is able to dock below secondary tanks Secondaries Capsule Primary Tanks Chassis Structure
