Spinning Lander Attitude Control Propellant and thrusters still needed for
spin up and axis reorientation– Estimate ~2.2 kg propellant savings for
100g/10kg cases Additional mass: spinning landing gear,
propulsion system redesigns, additional attitude sensing devices
Increased complexity: Liquid propellant feed while spinning, landing while spinning, reorientation of axis

Compressed Gas Spring Energy Storage
• Some or all travel could be obtained from bouncing using stored descent energy
• Compressed gas not recommended – highly temperature sensitive, limited velocity and acceleration inputs
– Commercial gas springs limited to approx. -23° to 82°• Lunar surface temperature -153° to 107° C

• Cross sectional shape is circular or rectangular for all components
• 0.5 mm magnesium skin place around Lunar Lander frame– Micrometeorite protection– Thermal protection

• As area ratio, ε, increases Mnozzle increases, but Isp increases also• As Isp increases Mprop decreases for a given thrust and burn time
Wrote Matlab script that used Matlab CEA interface to compute multiple Isp’s for different area ratio’s and the corresponding Mprop and Mnozzle for a given thrust, and burn time
Results: Area ratio for minimum mass occurred at ~150, however this nozzle would be very large and little is gained above ~100

• Initially, Lander comes to complete stop 100m above lunar surface
• Lander remains in upright position throughout trajectory• Lander touches down with near zero horizontal and
vertical velocity• Main lunar descent engine responsible for all vertical
movement• Attitude control system responsible for all horizontal
movement• Lander must cover 500m distance in greater than 60

Hop Trajectory Assumptions and Constraints

• Instantaneous throttling of hybrid engine
• Lander takes off and touches down with near zero vertical and horizontal velocity and upright orientation
• Rotation rate of Lander limited by torque provided by attitude control system

Hop Trajectory Design
• In order to maintain 90% chance of success, cannot relight main lunar descent engine to perform hop.
• Instead use pair of redundant thrusters to perform hop.
• Unusual trajectory shape due to thruster configuration: one thruster firing at 32° from vertical.
• Must offset thrust direction by having Lander velocity in opposite direction to ensure no horizontal velocity upon landing.
• With out this trajectory shape, Lander would crash and/or land on its side.
• This trajectory adds only 2.5kg of propellant compared to a trajectory using a vertical thruster.

Using gradual acceleration, the space ball avoids peeling out and digging into the regolith

caught in a crater
Debris/RocksDebris size: 0.0005m to 0.50m
Lexan shell will withstand a full speed collision At cruising speed, momentum carries ball over small
rocks and retains stability (similar to a rolling wheel)

Spinning Mass Tether Alternative
Rationale for Discarding Momentum Transfer Concept:The momentum transfer concept was analyzed just using work/energy relationships subject to the conditions that the Lander could not experience an acceleration greater than 10g and that the Lander would initially be traveling at an orbital speed of 1.7 km/s. Because the constraint on the system is an acceleration and the frame of the moving Lander is not inertial, the system was analyzed using work/energy but in an inertial frame. This approach has obvious limitations; however, it also should provide a more conservative analysis meaning that, if the results are unfeasible for this simplified model, the addition of a gravitational component by the moon will only make exacerbate the outcome. Shown below is a plot of the acceleration felt by the Lander versus collision/spring distance through which some force must act to slow the Lander to zero. A reasonable distance for this “collision” would be between 1 and 2 meters since a spring of this relaxed length must be carried on the OTV with a mass less than that of the Lander descent propellant. From the graph, it can be seen that, at this distance, the accelerations are on the order of 1x10 5 Earth g’s. This is four orders of magnitude higher than that sustainable by the communications equipment (10g) and is probably higher than what is able to be withstood by the molecular bonds in the vehicular structure. Additionally, to maintain an acceleration less than 10g during a deceleration from 1.7 km/s it would be necessary to have a collision distance of approximately 150 km. For these reasons among others, the momentum transfer concept is infeasible.
Acceleration sustainable by Communication Equipment: 10gRequired Tether Length to Match Orbital Velocity: ~50 kmAdditional mass cost at this Length: 325 kg (Total mass of 400 kg)Orbital Height: ~100 km
Result: Weight of tether exceeds propellant mass and tether length is nearly half the orbital height. Completely infeasible.
