Apollo 50 Lunar Mission Concept Goal: Initiate a series of lunar campaign missions, inspired by Apollo 11, to explore the potential of the Moon for science and commerce culminating in the first private human missions to the Moon. Objectives Commemorate 50 th anniversary of Apollo 11 mission with lunar mission to the poles to meet the following objectives: –Perform pre-cursor prospecting mission to reduce technical and mission operations risk for Resource Prospector Mission ; –Obtain ground truth data from regions near the poles that meet illumination, thermal, DTE communications and stable ice requirements. –Conduct educational and outreach activities using social networks, media outlets, live video streaming from the surface of the Moon. 1

Apollo 50 Draft Mission Options 2 Draft Lunar Lander Options Payload CapabilityLaunch Vehicle Options Targeted First Mission Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lander kg for PeregrineSecondary Payload on Falcon 9/Heavy or Atlas V Feb 2018 to Lacus Mortis, 45 deg N and 27.2 deg E Astrobotic’s Griffin Lander kg for GriffinPrimary Payload on Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy TBD Moon Express Electron’s capability is 150 kg to 500 km geocentric orbit. Or about 18 kg to lunar surface for a gear ratio of 8. RocketLab’s Electron Launch Vehicle 2017 Israel’s SpaceIL GLXP team First mission is very mass limited (maybe 1-2 kg available). Planned mobility is Hopper. No plans for deployment of a rover. Co-manifested by SpaceFlight Industries on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Late 2017/Early 2018 to mid-Latitude site (30 to 60 deg) Release BAA or RFP for lunar lander and rover systems ; Draft Lunar Rover OptionsCapabilities Astrobotic/CMU’s Andy Rover (For Peregrine, small 6U-size rover is being planned for first mission) Contains unique pivoting axle suspension to drive faster in rugged terrain. Astrobotic/CMU’s Polar Rover Designed to carry RESOLVE instrument suite. Also option for excavation equipment. Japan’s Hakuto GLXP Team (Partnered with Astrobotic on first mission) Dual Rover system linked by a tether: MoonRaker and Tetris.

Neutron Spectrometer Subsystem: –NSS is primarily a prospecting/assessment tool. –Provides situational awareness about volatile content in soils: »Senses hydrogen-bearing materials (eg. Ice) up to 1 meter depth »Maps variations while roving »Provides real time operational alert: stop for area of interest. –Developed by/with our partner, LM Advanced Technology Center for the RESOLVE payload on Resource Prospector NSS Overview Mojave Desert NSS Mojave Volatiles Project – Oct 16-26, 2014 Desert Pavement KREX-2

NSS Design Overview Instrument Type: Two channel neutron spectrometer. Key Measurements: NSS assesses hydrogen and bulk composition in the top meter of regolith. Heritage: Lunar Prospector (detectors); Resource Prospector (instrument) Sensor Module (HVPS and Front-End Electronics) Thermal neutron detector Epithermal neutron detector Data Processing Module Developed by/with our partner, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center
