2 Future Assumptions: 2015 and Beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) & Beyond: NASA/International Space Exploration NASA has deployed a gateway facility at the Earth-Moon L1 point. ISS has evolved into a transportation hub & servicing facility. Commercial Commercially viable in-space manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and materials resulting from ISS research has begun on automated and crew tended platforms A commercially owned upgraded Shuttle features a payload bay passenger module for commercial crews and other paying passengers. The first hotel in space (based on the NASA gateway facility and catering to the elite) has opened in LEO. Military The United States military dominates the space theatre. Available Earth-to-Orbit Transportation: Upgraded Shuttle - operations overhead cut in half with the same performance. Large reliable ELV - 35,000 kg to LEO with a 6 meter shroud. Inexpensive ELV - weekly launch of 10,000 kg of logistics to LEO. Revolutionary RLV eventually replaces weekly ELV launches.

3 HPM Level 1 Requirements The HPM shall support commercial, NASA and DOD missions. The HPM and associated elements shall be designed, built, inspected, tested, and certified specifically addressing the requirements for human-rating. The HPM shall be reusable The HPM shall be designed for an operational lifespan of ten years. The HPM shall have on-orbit maintainable (via EVA and robotics) avionics. The HPM shall be capable of autonomous operations for all systems The HPM shall accommodate automated rendezvous and docking with other vehicles. The HPM shall provide long-term storage of Lox, LH2, & Xenon for use by chemical and electric propulsion systems The HPM shall be capable of being refueled on-orbit

8 Radiators Lower debris shielding LOX tank walls and insulation Place holders for radiation and thermal protection Keel fitting Lower HPM Cross Section The lower section of the HPM uses the Whipple debris shielding similar to existing portions of the ISS. This type of shielding incorporates a constant outer diameter allowing access to the subsystems. The lower primary structure consists of the inner most wall of the debris shielding tied into the stringers that run the length of the lower section. The vacant space will be filled with thermal protection layers.

9 Upper section deployed debris shield I-Beams LOX Tank Wall and Insulation (2.54cm thk) Radiation Shielding Place Holder Upper HPM Cross Section The upper section of the HPM uses the deployable debris shielding similar to that demonstrated on the Mars Trans Hab Module. Although heavier than the simple Whipple type shielding, it can withstand impacts from much larger diameter micrometeoroids and orbital debris. The upper structure is similar to the lower section but just at a larger diameter.

13 HPM Guidance, Navigation & Control System Functional Description: Maintain attitude in free flight mode and during autonomous docking operations in LEO,GEO and L1 environments. Key Performance Requirements: Hold attitude to within +/- 5 degrees of TEA during LEO/GEO parking orbit mode Position and hold attitude to within +/- 0.5 degrees during docking operations Provide attitude and position knowledge in support of automated docking operations Design/Technology Description: Attitude Control – Flywheels used to rotate and maintain attitude. The flywheels are also integrated with the power system as an energy storage device. Position & Attitude Knowledge - The attitude, attitude rates, position, and velocity, and Sun pointing of the HPM would be determined using an enhanced Microcosm Autonomous Navigation System (MANS) sensor suite, comprising of Star Sensor and Earth sensor with IMU as back-up. MANS suite can currently provide 100m position information, 0.03 deg attitude information, and is light and uses little power. While MANS has been used for Earth orbits, it’s extension to deep space applications is new technology. Autonomous Rendezvous & Docking - The Autonomous Formation Flying (AFF) sensor would be used by the HPM and other docking vehicles for precision relative navigation during automatic rendezvous and docking. The AFF can provide 1 cm position accuracy, 0.1mm/s relative velocity, 1 arc-minute attitude, using 1W power and weighs less than 2 kg. This technology needs to be demonstrated on-orbit. AFF can replace or enhance GPS and retro- reflector based concepts.
