SW acceptance Flight SW / Ground simulators Ground Segment EGSE / Iron Bird ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 4

5 Launch of ERA on Multi-purpose Lab Module MLM MLM/Nauka ( science ) is the spare of the FGB/Zarya it dates from 1998 Contamination of MLM s propulsion system - no spare parts MLM provides a lab but also living space Will be followed by Science Power Module SPM SPM provides independence of Russian Segment This Spring finally the MLM repair started Piping and tanks removed for cleaning Complex! Launch date unconfirmed, NASA Flight Plan states 7 Oct 2018 ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 5

7 Phase 1: Deep Space Gateway ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 7

8 MCB DSG Configuration Power and Propulsion Bus (PPB) Co-manifested with Orion on SLS Places itself into cislunar space Communication and Utilisation Bay (CUB, name will change) Lunar comms, science airlock, propellant tanks Habitation Module Co-manifested with Orion on SLS Placed into cislunar space by Orion HAB CUB Orion Logistics Modules Depending upon scenario details, the number and sequence of logistics modules varies The robotic manipulator arm will likely arrive with an early logistics module Launched either via ELV or co-manifested with Orion on SLS EVA Airlock Module Co-manifested with Orion on SLS Airlock configuration TBD Not Shown: Robotic Lunar Lander Lunar Ascender ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 8

9 Human Lunar Precursor Program (HLEPP) HLEPP is the complete Robotic Lunar Lander (sample return) mission from launch to landing on the lunar surface, collection of samples, and return of samples to the DSG and return to Earth (via Orion) HLEPP study objectives(on-going): - Establish a scenario for a demo mission compatible with the Global Exploration Roadmap and the DSG - HLEPP mission objectives: - prepare for human Moon missions - Create opportunities for scientific research (specifically sample return as we need to test the ascent engine) - Mobility de-risking ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 9

10 Lunar ExplorAtion Precursor (LEAP) - The term Lunar ExplorAtion Precursor (LEAP) covers the surface operations from rover deployment through end-of-life of the rover - Phase 1: deployment, check-out and initial operations - Assume no crew present at Deep Space gateway (DSG) - Remote operations from Earth - ~5s delay - Phase 2: first traverse and sample return - > 80% visibility when using DSG as relay - Assume crew present at DSG - Pre-planning and med/long range planning on Earth - Flexecution of the traverse by crew - ~0.5 s delay surface to NRHO (DSG orbit) - robotic-assisted field geology - Timing of DSG crew mission with sample return mission is key - Phase 3: long traverse(s) endurance / survivability test - After the ascender transports samples to the DSG, the rover begins its long traverse towards the lunar South Pole (Amundsen) - TBC - Assume no crew present at DSG, remote ops from Earth - Opportunistic science en route - Possibility to cache samples for follow-up human missions ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 10

11 Lunar ExplorAtion Precursor Surface Mobility Element - The SME is mainly composed of two parts: - The mobility element itself, including its sensing elements (CSA) - The sampling and retrieval chain, including sample container, multipurpose dextrous arm with exchangeable end-effectors / instruments (ESA) - The straw-man payload is being detailed by ESA and will be informed by the recommendations from the HLEPP science team. - ESA is investigating Multipurpose dexterous robot arm with force-feedback and master-slave control as an enabler to robotic-assisted geology - Ground control of lunar surface asset latency < 5 secs. - Crew control of surface asset from DSG < 1 sec ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 11

12 Lunar ExplorAtion Schrödinger (ref. Kring et al) - Likely landing site - Surface mission phase 2 of 35 km selected / traverse loops back to Lander - Considered a challenging but realistic timeline over the 70 days mission (between descent and ascent) - Several options for the follow-up traverses (North loop, South loop, others) which will cover hundreds of km - Slopes preliminary analyses show feasibility - HLEPP Mission Definition Review selected sample transfer via re-ingress of the LDE ramp (to be analysed) ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 12

13 Example Horizon Masks in Schroedinger Local Topography Shielding ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 13

14 METERON Context : European ISS Mission Luca Parmitano s next ISS mission is planned for May-October 2019 and provides a timely opportunity to shake-down the entire LEAP concept - Luca is trained in field geology and also planetary robotics; he is also very keen on performing such tasks (advocate) - Taking this opportunity provides a natural conclusion to METERON, with a very visible result, useful for possible continuation into an actual mission such as LEAP - It requires elements to be put in place, leveraging upon already made investments but also making new ones: - New Exploration rover prototype based upon INTERACT - Investment in a given set of payloads to be mounted on the rover - Flight and Ground HCIs - A demonstrator would be flown to ISS for Luca - Mission, Rover, and Scientific operations set-up - Analog mission itself ANALOG / 2019 Luca Parmitano ISS - May-Oct 2019 In-Orbit Demonstrator Of Robotic HCI ISS Exploration Ground Prototype EVO#3 Analogue Test Site (e.g. ROBEX Etna test site) Mission Operations & Ground Segment Analogue (ESOC) Rover Operations Control Centre (TBD) Lunar Scientific Operations (distributed) Lunar Science data archiving & Samples Curation (ECSAT / HRAF) ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Philippe Schoonejans 20/06/2017 Slide 14 Lunar Scientific Community
