EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Long Term Exploration Scenario Status Mid term · Spacelab / STS EUROPEAN/Autonomous · ISS / Columbus · Lunar Infrastructure for Exploration · ISS Utilities Operation and Evolution · ISS = Demonstrator and Test bed for Phase II and III · Transportation (AR 5) · Logistics (ATV) · Lander ( ATV, AR 5, Robotics) · (Dispenser) / Surface Infrastructure International/Cooperation · Manned Moon · Crew Transportation Phase III Preparation · Robotic Mars Missions · Stand alone operations · Surface mobility · ECLS · Habitation · Nuclear Power Supply · Transport. / Nuclear Propulsion 6 Hartmut Müller TB 91 Long term Lunar Infrastructure · Crew supported servicing & maintenance of far side astronomy base · human exploration missions to south pole, · near side permanent crewed base First Human Mission to Mars · Transportation · Nuclear Propulsion · Habitation · Radiation Shielding · ISRU · Lander/Ascender · Logistics
EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Why to Moon first? It‘s our neighbour It’s visible Technically feasible and affordable Stepwise approach – near term relevance There is a Demand Moon provides a natural platform for Science (Astronomy/Astrophysics, Geology/ Geophysics/Geochemistry, Physics of the Sun and Life Science) and may build a Cornerstone within Mission to Mars Visible Symbol of European capabilities – lighthouse project Chances for European leadership in science and technology and autonomous access to Space based infrastructure Perspective and motivation of young people and pacemaker for European science and technology 7 Hartmut Müller TB 91
EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Lunar Infrastructure for Exploration (LIFE) The Scientific Demand – Lunar far side is permanently free of radio interferences from Earth (quiet zone) – During the 2 weeks of Lunar night avoidance of distracting radiations from the Sun. The Mission – Low frequency radio telescope – Implemented as an array of antennas – Maintenance and upgrade is possible – Stepwise extension 8 Hartmut Müller TB 91
EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Long Term Lunar Presence (2018 an beyond) EUROPEAN LUNAR OBSERVATORY (A) tele-operated astronomical observatory, temporarily manned – Main requirements (for astronomical research) · No RF interferences · Low intensity ionosphere · No atmosphere, no orbital debris – Main tasks · Low frequency radio astronomy · Infrared astronomy · UV astronomy · Planetary defence (focus on detection) · Exploration (physics of the sun, geology, etc. ) 9 Hartmut Müller TB 91 Crater Daedalus on the Lunar Farside • located at 179° East, 5. 5°South. • diameter of 80 km
EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Long Term Lunar Presence (2018 an beyond) ISAAC NEWTON LUNAR BASE (B) manned home base for lunar explorations – Main requirements (for manned exploration) · Self preservative base · Easy and safe transportation to/from Moon – Main tasks · Provide life saving functionalities · Provide (surface) mobility · Provide communications · Use of lunar construction material · Utilisation of lunar resources 10 Hartmut Müller TB 91

EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems Thank you for your Attention 14 Hartmut Müller TB 91
EADS Space Transportation - Orbital & Reusable Systems If we look to the life cycle of our products her at EADS ST, one detect very soon, that our products show a life cycle of 30 – 40 years or more. So, if we start with development of new products, we have to think about their application and their markets in 30 or 40 years from now. For this reason we established a working group at EADS ST dealing with long term Perspectives of Space Travel. In this context we are analysing different scenarios – from Space Tourism until Exploration Missions – always targeted to identify potential applications for Space Infrastructure beyond the classic application of telecommuication or micro gravity Research. This is why we look for a close relationship to potential users from very early onwards. And this is why we invited you to this workshop to evaluate together with you the scientific potentails of lunar infrastructures The purpose of this presentation is to give a global overview our idea of future space Inrastructure as plattform for scientific purpose As starting point for the discussion of: What is really needed? But if we talk about moon, we also have to consider the Space exploration environment, in which the case for moon is to be discussed 15 Hartmut Müller TB 91
