Abstract For the past decades spaceflight has been a driver for technology development in various fields, e.g. generation of electrical power, and computers. Human missions, require resources typically scarce (e.g. oxygen) are usually transferred along with crew to respective mission target. Future long-term missions aim beyond Low Earth Orbit (i.e. Moon Mars), necessitating advances especially closed-loop life-support systems guarantee autonomy. This requires careful handling resources,...
Today, phase A studies of future space systems are often conducted in special design facilities such as the Concurrent Engineering Facility at German Aerospace Center (DLR). Within these facilities, performed following a defined process making use data model for information exchange. Quite it remains unclear what exactly is and how implemented applied. Nowadays, usually software using formal specification describing its capabilities within so-called meta-model. This meta-model, referred...
Concurrent Engineering (CE) in the space sector is an effective collaborative development approach for mission architectures or system design. It involves each appropriate discipline and follows a structured process which guides team through early phases of product life-cycle. Furthermore, integrated design models domain specific tools support engineers generating exchanging parameters. As often misunderstood, not optimization performed by advanced software, but effort where supported...
The search for a sustainable, CO 2 -free massive hydrogen production route is strong need, if one takes into account the world-wide increasing energy demand, deterioration of fossil fuel reserves and in particular concentration leading to global warming.Thermo-chemical cycles water splitting are considered as promising alternative emission-free routes -with potentially higher efficiencies lower costs compared alkaline electrolysis water.The hybrid-sulphur cycle was chosen most from 'sulphur...
Given the increasing relevance of lunar activities, location selection for in situ resource utilisation (ISRU) facilities is necessary identifying most suitable configuration during mission planning. To gather information about dominant dependencies, a scenario established wherein an ISRU product exported to orbital depot and its mass costs are used classification. In selected scenario, oxygen produced ilmenite reduction plant subsequently gateway via oxygen–hydrogen fuelled launcher...
Physical interaction with small solar system bodies (SSSB) for sampling has become the prime enabler front-line planetary science related to SSSBs, propagating into towards interstellar objects, exoplanet and stellar formation research. [1,2,3] However, not every SSSB mission can take risks of extremely close approach, heritage spacecraft be re-used may designed in mind. Thus, risk takers that build a bridge surface at low resources cost interest near-term future...
