Planetary Penetrators Mars96 Luna Glob Deep Space 2 Selene II

Europan surface conditions Cold Hard Rough Radiation Relatively poorly understood

Phase 1 mission design for Europa PLM De-Orbit Ganymede ~30m/s ~2km/s Europa ~34m/s ~1.5km/s 200km release Manoeuvre-1 PDM lowers pericentre to 34km via small apocentre burn ~34m/s Manoeuvre-2 Large de-orbit manoeuvre at pericentre ~1450m/s E From Jovian tour Intermediate orbit 200km circular orbit

Impact modelling Heritage from QinetiQ UK munitions systems development

Phase 1 Penetrator for Europa

Phase 2 TDA background and driving requirements 800 kEuro, 18 months, TRL4/5 Focus on astrobiology for Europa/Mars Bottom-up approach to payload package (mass limit of 4kg incl. margins) Full-scale breadboarding of shell and sample acquisition system with impact testing

Phase 2 astrobiology payload design Sample imager BMS Sample collection mechanisms (2 off; offset by 180o ) Sample containers HCP electrodes

Phase 2 updated penetrator design Warm compartment (longer lifetime) Cold compartment (short lifetime) Snubbers (stand-offs)

Phase 2 updated penetrator design Warm compartment (longer lifetime) Cold compartment (short lifetime) Snubbers (stand-offs)

Phase 2 updated PDM mass budget Instruments – 4kg Penetrator – 20kg Delivery system – 110kg Total = 130kg

Phase 2 – next steps Small scale testing Impact modelling Full scale breadboarding and test

Small scale testing

Full scale impact testing UK Ministry of Defence – Pendine facility

High-g, low temperature primary battery Future developments High-g, low temperature primary battery Miniaturised, high-g UHF comms transceiver

Summary ESA Phase 2 study of Penetrators for Europa/Mars is underway Astrobiology package designed. Full-scale breadboarding and impact testing to 10’s kgees planned. External shell and sampling mechanism to TRL4/5 Phase 3 planned for 2013 – further subsystems to TRL5.
