A Simple Entry, Descent, and Floating System for Planetary Ballooning Daisuke Akita Tokyo Institute of Technology

2 Planetary Balloon Planetary surface Orbit Lander/Rover Small area High resolution Orbiter Large area Low resolution Balloon NASA HP

3 General Flight Scenario for Planetary Ballooning ① Atmospheric entry of capsule ② Deceleration by drag ③ Deploy pilot-chute ④ Separate back-shell ⑤ Deploy main parachute ⑥ Separate heat shield ⑦ Deploy balloon ⑧ Inflate balloon ⑨ Separate main parachute ⑩ Float at an altitude ①② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ ⑩ Several critical operations are required during atmospheric entry NASA HP

4 Atmospheric Entry Balloon No critical operations during entry except He gas tank jettison Because of low ballistic coef., ΔV to deorbit can be reduced Peak aerodynamic heating can be reduced No contamination by ablation during entry It is a significantly simple ED(L/F) system. ① Inflation using He gas in orbit and then Release from orbiter ② Atmospheric entry and Deceleration by drag ③ Floating or soft-landing by buoyancy ④ Data transmission to orbiter or other balloons (also Floatable on hydrocarbon lake) Functions of Heat shield, Decelerator, Battery insulator, and (Balloon, Lake-lander, or Tumbleweed rover(JPL)) orbiter

5 Major Issues Tensile strength of balloon envelope against internal pressure Heat resistance of balloon envelope against aerodynamic heating Structural strength of balloon against dynamic pressure Flight characteristics to float stably Mission supposed Simple Titan’s surface imaging ① Inflation using He gas in orbit and then Release from orbiter ② Atmospheric entry and Deceleration by drag ③ Floating or soft-landing by buoyancy ④ Data transmission to orbiter or other balloons (also Floatable on hydrocarbon lake) Functions of Heat shield, Decelerator, Battery insulator, and (Balloon, Lake-lander, or Tumbleweed rover(JPL)) orbiter

6 Balloon shape: Sphere Aerodynamic characteristics Attitude-independent Easy to estimate Minimum surface area (Minimum balloon weight) Easy to deploy Floating gas: He Floating altitude: 0-10 km Internal Pressure at float: 1.2×Ambient Pressure Initial internal pressure before entry: 10 kPa Payload capability: 10 kg Camera Tx Control unit Configuration Balloon vol. ↓ He gas mass ( He Temp. =Ambient ) Payload box inside balloon Entry direction Flange (I/F with orbiter) S-band patch antenna on payload box and gas tank He Gas tank Li primary battery Insulator for battery Structure GFRP cylinder Insulator

7 Requirements Lightweight Flexible Air-tight High tensile strength High heat resistance Cryogenic durability Radio wave permeability Balloon Envelope: candidate material PBO Fabric Zylon ® (Strength) Insulator Kapton ® (Air-tightness) Cross-section view Zylon ® Kapton ® Max Temp. Limit920 K673 K Tensile Strength50 kgf/cm ー Area Density500 g/m 2 (incl. insulator) Outside Inside

8 He Gas Tank Jettison and Balloon Attitude Entry direction Flange (I/F with orbiter) S-band patch antenna on payload box and gas tank He Gas tank GFRP cylinder Attitude at float Camera looks at Titan’s surface Payload box inside balloon Attitude at entry Insulator Used Gas tank (dropsonde) release Parachute Open flange Balloon works also as thermal insulator for battery in cryogenic environment. Communication with balloon Communication with orbiter CG After deceleration

9 Floatable mass for Balloon Diameters (Floating alt. = 3 km ) Small system is favorable Gas tank mass and volume ∝ R 3 Tensile force on balloon ∝ R Ballistic coef. ∝ ~R Balloon tensile strength Safety factor: 10 (10 kPa, in orbit) Safety factor: 4 (1.2×P, 3km floating alt.) Structural strength Internal pressure (10 kPaA) >> Stagnation pressure (until 45 km altitude) He gas replenishment starts at 100 km alt. 10 kg Payload

10 Floating Altitudes Low floating altitude  Favorable for low total mass and volume High floating altitude  Favorable for low aerodynamic heating Not so different in mass and ballistic coef. for floating altitudes

11 Atmospheric Entry Conditions Entry from an orbit around Titan Aerobraking phase of TSSM proposal 720 × 12,000 km Initial FPA: 0 deg. ΔV: 0 m/s Diameter: 1.98 m Ballistic coef.: 17.0 kg/m 2 Titan Orbit after TOI (720 × km) Titan’s Atmosphere Balloon mass6.2 kg He gas mass3.3 kg Payload mass10.3 kg Gas tank mass32.6 kg Total mass52.4 kg

13 Entry Trajectory and Aerodynamic Heating Peak Heat Flux 1.85 kW/m 2 Peak Balloon Surface Temp. (Radiative equilibrium, ε=0.9) 436 K Sufficiently lower than the upper temp. limit of Kapton (673 K) Tensile strength of balloon envelop decreases down to 80 % at 436 K (still sufficient margin) Titan’s Atmosphere Floating point Entry trajectory

14 Descent Trajectory Subsonic 9 hrs descent from the first entry Rarefied Gas Supersonic Subsonic Mass: 52.4 kg Diameter: 1.98 m Floating Alt.: 3 km 45 km Start He gas replenishment at 100 km alt. SupersonicRarefied Gas Initial balloon internal pressure: 10kPaA

15 Descent Trajectory Subsonic Mass: 19.8 kg (w/o gas tank) Diameter: 1.98 m Designated floating alt.: 3 km SupersonicRarefied Gas 3 km Altitude Magnified It can float stably at the designated altitude of 3 km.

16 Summary of Feasibility In orbit Inflate balloon Balloon internal gas pressure: 10 kPa Safety factor of tensile strength of balloon envelop: 10 Altitude: 525 km Peak aerodynamic heating Balloon surface temp. (436 K) < upper temp. limit of Kapton (673 K) He gas temp. ~ Balloon surface temp. Strength degradation of balloon envelop due to heating (80% at 436 K) Safety factor of tensile strength of balloon envelop: 5.4 Altitude: 200 km Deceleration to subsonic speed Balloon internal pressure >> stagnation pressure (Spherical balloon shape can be maintained)

17 Summary of Feasibility (cont’d) Altitude: 100 km Stagnation pressure: 1 kPa < balloon internal pressure (10 kPaA) Balloon internal gas is sufficiently cooled because of long descending duration Start He gas replenishment Altitude: 80 km Start gas tank jettison (dropsonde release) Altitude: 3 km Floating Nominal balloon internal pressure is 1.2 times of ambient pressure Safety factor of tensile strength of balloon envelop: 4 Spherical balloon shape can be maintained, even at 0 km altitude Accuracy of floating alt.: ±2 km (Yelle’s atmospheric model)

18 Mission Duration and Moving Distance TSSM-class orbiter at 1,500 km circular orbit Payload capability: 10 kg Li Primary battery (350 Wh/kg): 3 kg Foam insulator of 100 mm thickness could maintain the battery temperature at more than 273 K S-band Tx RF Power1 W Power at sending (25%)7 W Power at sensing (75%)2 W Battery life at 273 K13 earth days Data rate to orbiter256 kbps Moving distance (v=1m/s)1,160 km Payload box size100×100×200 mm

19 Summary The Atmospheric Entry Balloon is a significantly simple and robust EDL/F system, although its ability is limited. The system would need a TSSM-class orbiter as a mother ship because of its limited ability. Distributed observations by more than one balloon could complement the limited ability of each balloon. The concept might be applicable also for Venus, however a more heat-resistant balloon envelop is necessary.
