Analysis of lunar propellant production

NASA-CR-188266; NAS 1.26:188266; EEI-85-103B , 19851209; Dec 9, 1985
A methodology for the analysis of lunar propellant production schemes
is developed.
This methodology was first applied to the case of approximately 1,400
metric tons
(MT) per year of lunar produced oxygen delivered to low Earth orbit
(LEO) by a
variety of propulsion schemes, some of which include the use of lunar
hydrogen. Given
many assumptions concerning cost, it appears difficult to deliver
oxygen to LEO for
less than the projected delivery cost of a large Shuttle derived
vehicle (SDV).

Due to large amounts of oxygen required for space travel, a method of
mining,
transporting, and storing this oxygen in space would facilitate further
space
exploration. The following project deals specifically with the methods
for
transporting liquid oxygen from the lunar surface to the Lunar Orbit
(LO) space
station, and then to the Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) space station. Two
vehicles were
designed for operation between the LEO and LO space stations.

A bootstrap lunar base is the gateway to manned solar system
exploration and requires
new ideas and new designs on the cutting edge of technology. A
preliminary design for
a Bootstrap Lunar Base, the second provided by this contractor, is

The purpose was to perform an analysis of the surface operations
associated with a
human-tended lunar base. Specifically, the study defined surface
elements and
developed mission manifests for a selected base scenario, determined
the nature of
surface operations associated with this scenario, generated a
preliminary crew

The solar and galactic cosmic radiation levels on the Moon pose a
hazard to extended
manned lunar missions. Lunar soil represents an available, economical
material to be
used for radiation shielding. Several alternatives have been suggested
to use lunar
soil to protect the inhabitants of a lunar base research outpost from
radiation. The
Universities Space Research Association has requested that a
comparative analysis of
the alternatives be performed, with the purpose of developing the most
advantageous
design.

A lunar construction shack vehicle is a critical component in most of
the plans
proposed for the construction of a permanent base on the moon. The
Selene Engineering
Company (SEC) has developed a concept for this vehicle which is both

This study is a first look at the problem of building a lunar lander to
support a
small lunar surface base. One lander, which can land 25 metric tons,
one way, or take
a 6 metric ton crew capsule up and down is desired. A series of trade
studies are
used to narrow the choices and provide some general guidelines. Given a
rough
baseline, the systems are then reviewed. A conceptual design is then
produced.

What vehicles are to be processed at the transportation node; (2) What
is the flow of
activities involved in a vehicle passing through the node; and (3) What
node support
resources are necessary to support a lunar scenario traffic model

The general focus is on a phase 2 lunar base, or a lunar base during
the period after
the first return of a crew to the Moon, but before permanent occupancy.
The software
effort produced a series of trajectory programs covering low earth
orbit (LEO) to
various node locations, the node locations to the lunar surface, and
then back to
LEO. The surface operations study took a lunar scenario in the civil
needs data base
(CNDB) and attempted to estimate the amount of space-suit work or
extravehicular
activity (EVA) required to set up the base.

lunar base
design. Other potential sites for application include planetary
surfaces such as
Mars, variable gravity research facilities, or a rotating spacecraft.
Design
requirements for partial gravity environments include: (1) locomotion
changes in less

requirements based on
the previous as well as psychological issues involved in prolonged
isolation.

The design philosophy that will guide the design of early lunar

based on a compromise between the desired capabilities of the base and
the economics
of its development and implantation. Preferred design will be simple,
make use of
existing technologies, require the least amount of lunar surface
preparation, and
minimize crew activity. Three concepts for an initial habitat
supporting a crew of
four for 28 to 30 days are proposed. Two of these are based on using
