Power Considerations For Return Trip Similar as the HAB from earth to mars (30KWe) -Solar arrays -Fuel Cells -Possible combination of both
Solar Arrays
Solar Arrays - SpectroData Table from Spectrolab website: http://www.spectrolab.com/prd/prd.htm
Fuel Cells Figure 1: different types of Fuel cells (http://www.techfak.uni-keil.de/matwis/matsci/project/fuelcells)
Fuel Cells (Cont.)
Regenerative Fuel Cells -Electrolyze water to convert back to oxygen and hydrogen. Do we want more water?
Next -More on Fuel cells and solar arrays. (contacting the manufactures) - Specific power requirements. - Risk assessment for each system. - Sizing. (computer Program)
