What to do with Space Station Poo 11 Space Station Waste Estimate 589 231 (5)
12
What to do with Space Station Poo 12 In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) 3558 g/CM-d TOTAL 1918 g Human Waste = 54% 423 g bio-degradable Total degradable = 66% 589 231 (5)
13
What to do with Space Station Poo 13 26,000 pounds total of trash old equipment, packaging, wiring waste water, human waste, etc Based on typical ISS output, 54% human waste 66% bio-related Actual composition: 14,410 lbs. human waste 1,600 lbs. other bio-degradable
14
What to do with Space Station Poo 14 Why is this important ? Launch costs are prohibitive Delta IV Medium – $130 million puts 25,000 pounds in LEO about $5000 per pound to LEO Can land 4400 pounds on Lunar surface $30,000 per pound to Lunar surface

What to do with Space Station Poo 21 40% oxygen – rocket oxidizer, O2 19 % silicon – glass & ceramics 14% iron - iron & steel products – construction 6% Titanium - high temperature & spacecraft 5.5% Aluminum – light weight spacecraft parts 4.5%Magnesium – light weight parts, alloy element Others: Chrome, Manganese, Sulphur, Potassium, Carbon (00.014%) 850 pounds from 6 sites. What else could we find ?

24
What to do with Space Station Poo 24 Mining Robotic Sweeper – 2 foot wide, 1 inch regolith depth Moving at 1 mile per hour (5280 ft per hour = 1.5 ft per sec) Gathers 880 ft3 PER HOUR = 10 ft x 10 ft x 8.8 feet high @13% Iron, 25% utilization yields 28 ft3 of IRON = 42 - 4 ft X 4 ft X 1 inch sheets PER HOUR ! Lunar Industry ADD Carbon = STEEL
25
What to do with Space Station Poo 25 Lunar Industry Ground transport lunar bus, carts, miners, rovers Maglev trains & tracks Mass driver launchers Structures blast deflectors, reflectors, antennas, sun shades tanks, towers, rails/tracks habitats, work areas power transmission Systems Gas & fluid processing equipment & machines Waste processing & recycling Power generation & transmission

28
What to do with Space Station Poo 28 How do we get it there ? Three main steps Push into Trans-Lunar Injection trajectory Brake into Lunar orbit (LOI) De-orbit & land on the Moon Requires lots of Fuel
29
What to do with Space Station Poo 29 How do we get it there ? Easy Way - Upper Stage Chemical Rocket booster Traditional rocket powered Lander Lots of mass to push to Moon Requires lots of Fuel How Much ??

What to do with Space Station Poo 30 Data from NASA Apollo 11 Press Kit Shows spacecraft weight delivered to LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Shows weights for each portion of Apollo 11 Command & Service Module L.E.M. (Descent and Ascent stages) Various sub-systems (water, ECS package, etc.) Propellant weights for each stage, engine specs Allows calculation of “Parametric” values Lessons from Apollo *

34
What to do with Space Station Poo 34 For every 10,000 lbs in LEO, Apollo puts 3300 lbs in TLI Requires LOX/LH2 J-2 class engines Payload Ratio is.33 Trans Lunar Injection Summary Lessons from Apollo * Delta II (7925H-10L) can place 10,120 lbs in LEO Current MB-60 engine is higher performance than J-2 Isp = 467 versus Isp = 420 for J-2 Required propellant = 10,120*.666*(420/467) = 6019 lbs Payload to LLO = 10,120-6019 = 4101 lbs (extra 761#) Delta IV (5,4) can place 25,300 lbs in LEO Propellant = 15,048 lbs Payload to TLI = 10,252 lbs Payload Ratio is.33
35
What to do with Space Station Poo 35 Lunar Orbit Insertion Apollo Summary Command Service Module/LEM weight at TLI = 100,369 LOI Propellant used = 12,011 lbs MMH/NTO Apollo Isp = 318 versus Isp = 338 for RS-72 Fuel fraction =.112 ……. Payload fraction =.887 Delta II ( TLI = 4101 lbs) payload to LLO = 3,639 lbs Delta IV (5,4) (TLI = 10,252) payload to LLO = 9,099 lbs Payload Ratio is. 887 Lessons from Apollo *
36
What to do with Space Station Poo 36 Lunar LANDING Apollo Summary LEM weight 33,205 (Apollo 11) Descent Propellant used = 18,100 lbs MMH/NTO Payload to Lunar Surface = 14,501 lbs …. Apollo Isp = 318 versus Isp = 338 for RS-72 Apply to LEM weights, current fractions are … Fuel fraction =.513 ……. Payload fraction =.487 Delta II ( LLO = 3639 lbs) payload to Lunar Surface = 1,772 lbs Delta IV (LLO = 9,099) payload to Lunar Surface = 4431 lbs !!!! Payload fraction =.487 Lessons from Apollo *
37
What to do with Space Station Poo 37 Summary of TLI, LOI, LL TLI fraction =.33LOI fraction =.887 L Landing =.487 Delta IV (5,4) puts 25,300 lbs in LEO Lands 4431 pounds on the surface = 17% Payload For our 8,800 pounds of … schtuff, we need 52,000 pounds of fuel @ $5,000 per pound, cost = $258,000,000 Lessons from Apollo *
