Thermal Control System
• Dissipative and external heat sources
Critical Points:
• Assembly in Earth orbit
• Passing Venus orbit
• Mars flyby
19/ 37
Thermal Control System
20/ 37
Attitude & Orbit Control System
• Control system consisting of
– Hydrazine thrusters [orbit]
– Momentum wheels [attitude]
– Resistojets [desaturation]
• Sensor system consisting of
– Sun sensors, star trackers
– Inertial measurement units
– GPS [Rendezvous]
21/ 37
Electrical Power System
Goal: provide continuous average power and withstand daily power peaks
• Sizing Case: Arrival at Mars after ca. 230 days
– Largest distance to Sun, moderate degradation
– Including environmental, array and system losses
22/ 37
• Primary power source: UltraFlex arrays (4 x ∅5m)
• Secondary storage: Regenerative fuel cells
• Power management and distribution with 11.4 kW/kg

Communications
• Goals
– Providing failure-safe communication between the spacecraft and ground stations on earth
• Limitations
Antenna size/fairing space
Suitable ground stations limit frequency bands selection
Power consumption
• Environment
– Interference from solar radiation
– Communication blackout during flyby
25/ 37
Phases of communication
Cruise phase
– Pictures, videos
– Science & Engineering data
Relay communication phase
– Science and engineering data, emergency link
Cruise phase
– Pictures, videos
– Science data
– Engineering data
Near Earth phase – Live streaming – Engineering data
26/ 37
Re-entry
• 3 passes through atmosphere before re-entering
• Keep the load factors within a limit of 5 g
• Lower heat flux peaks
27/ 37
Thermal Protection System
• Use of PICA-X as in Dragon-C1
• Increase in thickness due to higher integral heat load
• PICA-X is 10-times cheaper then PICA
28/ 37
Systems Engineering
• Mass, volume and power budgets
– Pressurized, unpressurized and packed volume
– Average, peak and waste power
• Element margins depending on technology readiness level and amount of required modifications
– 5%, 10% and 20%

Human Factors
Preselecting & Preparation The Team sets up the right criteria for the Preselection (age, experience, health situation, profession, ..). Moreover the astronauts have to be prepared mentally and physically.
Ensure physical health To ensure physical health during the whole trip the team has to be prepared for all medical risks. Therefore the team supplies medical treatment and prevention .
e-Health
Offering solutions for a 24/7 monitoring and documentation of all medical parameters through an health vest. The e-Health system offers self-treatment options.

Training & Food To prevent muscle degradation due to microgravity we provide training equipment and a suitable nutritional protocol.
4
Ensure mental health 5 To establish and keep the astronauts mentally fit during the whole trip is a necessary key for a successful mission. This can be ensured by using audio-visual stimulation, a motivation and entertainment kit.

Economics - Cost estimating methods
• Parametric: mathematical equations relating cost to one or more physical or performance variables associated with the item being estimated
• Build-up: historical data (e.g. detailed work hours and bills of material)
• Analogy: the data is adjusted or extrapolated
32/ 37
To be done
• Finish design, cost estimations
• Risk management
• Mission schedule & development roadmap
• Ground segment
• Science
• Public outreach
