Gateway Sparing Analysis for Avionics Subsystem 11/1/2020 44
Gateway, SEP and Suit Reliability 11/1/2020 45
Conclusions System Reliability & Sparing • Reliability Block Diagram Analysis predicted a Gateway reliability with no repair of approximately 72%. This reliability is associated with mission success modeling of all the supporting subsystems which includes EVA suits for telescope construction. • Sparing requirements for one re-supply cycle (10, 225 hours) of the Gateway will be significant given the reliabilities of the modeled subsystems. Crew Safety • The PHA has documented the subsystem design mitigations controlling the hazards identified. • All subsystems will meet fail-op/fail-safe requirements as specified in the Human Ratings Requirements with the option of the LTV ticket back to LEO. This however only applies to crew safety and not mission success. • Open Work: Analysis to evaluate the inherent radiation protection of the Gateway design 11/1/2020 46

Gateway Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Stage System Requirements • • • Launch on a Delta IV Heavy or Shuttle to 400 km 28. 5° LEO[1] – “Exploration Class” Delta IV Heavy presumed - 35 MT to LEO 30 MT payloads [2] – Lander & Habitat mass 35 MT Total SEP Stage Mass Limit – Derived from requirements #1 Maximum 6 -month LEO-to-Lunar L 1 trip time [2] – A 30 MT Lander must be delivered to Lunar L 1 every 6 months TRL 6 by 2005 for all systems technologies[1] Assumptions Made • • • Structural & electrical interfaces with SEP stage payloads – 5 k. W power transfer from SEP stage to Gateway Habitat payload – 12 m maximum Gateway Habitat payload diameter x 10 m length SEP stage housekeeping power 1% of total power required 20% SEP stage dry mass margin Sources: [1]“Lunar L 1 Gateway Introduction Package”, J. Geffre, 7/9/01 [2]“Lunar L 1 Architecture Timeline”, email from J. Geffre, 7/27/01 11/1/2020 53
Gateway Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Stage Primary Issues/Trades Considered • What is the power required vs. trip time? – To deliver 30 MT to L 1 in 180 days, a 584 k. W SEP stage with 15. 0 MT dry mass and 20. 0 MT of xenon propellant is required - assuming 2, 700 s (Isp). • What is the cost? – ~$1 B Total SEP Stage Cost ($521. 5 M DDT&E + $435. 1 M Flight Unit) (FY 01 $). • Should the SEP stage remain attached to the Gateway Habitat? – No – better to re-use the stage since its excess power is not needed & its large deployed array area would impact Gateway Habitat field-of-view and work areas. • How many times can/should an SEP stage be reused? – At least 2 roundtrip transfers per SEP stage are feasible by oversizing the solar arrays and assuming LEO replacement of the electric thruster and xenon and A/C system fuels pallets is possible. Ø Should solar array pointing be solar inertial or articulating? – Inertial solar arrays have significant vehicle operations & mass advantages: reduces array area & mass, reduces structural dynamic impacts associated with articulation, allows constant power Hall Thruster operation, thruster boom provides isolation needed to mitigate thruster plume impingement. 11/1/2020 54
