Schedule, Project Updates, PDR Overview
Schedule
February 27 - PDR
- No longer landing on Mars surface vertically with chemical propulsion. We will use tether rendezvous and spindown for landing on Mars.
February 20 – PDR Slides Assigned
Project Updates
- Mass Driver will be used for Mars launch, tether sling will be used to catch taxis.
- Crew will be extracted from tether slings on Luna and Mars
- Due to the change in landing approach on Mars, significant propellant reduction in taxi. Expect taxi to get smaller and/or change shape. Number of taxis could change as well.
- Low ΔV from the ED tether will likely make missions from Earth to Mars system infeasible.
- Heat transfer on Mars re-entry will drive a change in taxi shape.
- Landing pad is gone but is being replaced by a “track” to seat the taxis upon spindown.

Systems: Ground StationCycler RF Antenna
THE PROBLEM
• Determine the size of the cycler’s RF antenna based on the analysis of link budgets at different antenna diameters.
• Determine the power required to communicate from the ground station to the cycler at the Moon using RF.
• From the above value, determine whether RF or lasers should be used to communicate from the ground station to the cycler.
THE SOLUTION
• 3 meter RF antenna will be used on the cycler.• Validation: 3.7 meter antenna was used on Voyager
missions [1]
• Validation: Average of 5 Watts utilized for ISS to communicate with Earth ground station [2]
Antenna Diameter Power Required10 meters 0.45 Watts
5 meters 1.80 Watts

Superstructure Design & Sizing
Problem: Design cycler superstructure to meet all criteria and incorporate all necessary systems.
Requirements:• Thrusters: 10 X3 Hall thrusters must be spaced evenly about CoM and fire
along all 3 axes• Docking: Allow 3 taxi vehicles to dock simultaneously• Communication: Antenna must point towards Earth at all times• Habitation: Habitation modules must rotate around superstructure and have
transport and support from the superstructure• Power: Solar panels must be exposed to the sun• Must be protected from space debris
Superstructure Design & Sizing
• Cylinder with 10 m diameter, 50 m height• Sections 4 and 6 rotate at a constant
angular velocity to induce artificial gravity• Sections 1 and 9 rotate so solar panels
are normal to incoming sunlight• All other sections do not rotate; control
used to keep antenna pointed at Earth• Whipple shield implemented to prevent
debris from breaching the hull• Aluminum 2219-T6 used• 3.1 mm outer wall, 42.2 mm inner wall
• Total volume: 3927 m3

• Pressurized interior modeled as a thin cylinder
• Safety factor of 10 was applied• Interior structures were not factored
into these calculations

Pressurized Habitable Volume [m3] 8043
Conclusions:• Initial empty mass estimates were too high and based on scaling up the ISS
[3]
• Including interior structure will significantly increase this mass estimate• Habitable volume still exceeds requirements which leaves room for
community spaces

Maximum distance between Mars and Earth/Lagrange Points
This animation was created in MATLAB in an attempt to find the maximum distance that Mars is from the satellites in GEO or at L4/L5 at any point in time. This is a gross approximation, as evidenced by the circular orbits, and the Mission Design team’s calculations are favored over this. With this distance, the amount of power needed for the communications signals could be found using power = 1/distance^2

toilets minimum per sex for a group of 56-80 people. [5]• Yet the ISS has 2 toilets per 6 people, and toilets have been known to break. This
equates to 23 toilets if this is metric is scaled up. [14]• Finding a happy medium: 16 toilets is the average of this max (ISS) and min (OSHA).

• Considering corn as a baseline crop, it requires 2.5 lb of fertilizer (pre and post planting) per 100 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓2. This equates to 1.1 kg per 9.2 𝑚𝑚2. [4]
• Depending upon the square footage of the greenhouse, and assuming a 1-1 conversion rate of fecal matter to fertilizer (by mass), human waste may be overproduced for the size of the greenhouse, an eventuality that will be reached after 8 months (especially if the cycler journey was 2 years)
• Currently, Alexey Zenin has sized the greenhouse to be 7000 𝑚𝑚2, which means that 837 kg of feces would be required for use in the greenhouse, assuming a 1-1 conversion ratio. If the conversion ratio is changed to 0.5, 1674 kg are required. However, this 7000 𝑚𝑚2 is based on an system that is vastly overproducing food (by a factor of 4) and oxygen (by a factor of 2). Scaling this system back means that in a best case scenario, we are still left with excess fecal matter. [*]
• Thus, it is advisable that there be multiple methods of utilizing waste.
Cycler - Fecal Matter Used by Greenhouse
[*] Greenhouse numbers from Alexey Zenin
Cycler – Turning Excess Fecal Matter into Useable Material (Plastic)
• A process uses engineered E.coli to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) plastic from human waste. (process displayed on main slide) [3]
• This PHB can be used in conjunction with a 3D printer to create tools that they may not have brought with them to Mars and can even be used as a secondary form of interior radiation shielding. [3]
• It is helpful to note that this process dehydrates feces and recycles excess water for crewed use
• A study on the effectiveness of dehydrated feces as radiation shielding proved it equivalent in effectiveness to hydrated feces. [6]

A Comparison of Two Trash Disposal Solutions• Orbital Syngas/ Commodity
Augmentation Reactor (OSCAR)• The goal is to repurpose trash in such
a way that it can be vented off or used as fuel, air water, or spacecraft repair/construction [11]
• Chemical Reaction: [11]
• Let’s assume that resulting char and tar reduces waste the same amount a trash incinerator would
• 90% by volume and 75% by mass [12]• This is the reduction accounted for on
previous slide• TRL 4
• Heat Melt Compactor (HMC)• Compacts trash into 9 in square
tiles that take up less than 1/8 of original trash volume [16]
• Water is boiled off and recollected • Tiles can be used as radiation
shielding • Trash compacted tiles are 90%
effective for radiation shielding as compared to high density polyethylene (the standard) [9]
• Consume less than 500 W [9]• Volume is 0.236 𝑚𝑚3 for 4 people
[9]• TRL 7
Choosing OSCAR
• OSCAR was chosen as the final option due to the fact that it would have a greater volume reduction.
• Due to lack of strict mass, power, and volume information, I utilized the system values from the HMC to scale and estimate my OSCAR values. Thus, while not an accurate value, it is reasonable to assume that OSCAR would be filling a similar space as the HMC if they are fulfilling the same purpose.

Eclipse Time Equation Generation
• Angle swept out by a body was calculated using θ = 2 ∗ atan 𝑝𝑝𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑎𝑎𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏
• Where rbody is the radius of the body and abody is the semi-major axis of that body’s orbit around the sun
• Circular orbits of the planets were assumed here.
• Mean motion of Earth and Mars was calculated using 𝑛𝑛 = μ𝑠𝑠𝑢𝑢𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑎𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏3
.5
• Where abody is the semi-major axis of either Earth or Mars around the sun, and μsunis the gravitational parameter of the sun
• Eclipse time was computed using Δ𝑓𝑓𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 = θ𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑛𝑛𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠∗60
• The only exception to this was Δtearth. Addressed on next slide.
Eclipse Time Equation Generation Continued
• In the case of Δtearth the value of nmars was replaced with the value of nearth. The reason for this was that the eclipse time due to Mars was calculated at Mars, since this is the location in the cycler orbit when the Martian eclipse would be relevant. The eclipse time due to Mercury and Venus was also calculated at Mars, because there is no Mercury or Venus flybys, and eclipse time is the longest at the farthest point in the orbit from the sun. However, the eclipse time for Earth was calculated at the Earth flyby, because this is the point in the orbit when that time would actually be relevant.

• Where Ploss is the power lost to the eclipse.
Inner Planetary Power Loss Calculation Continued
• In the calculation of the inner planetary power loss, it was assumed that the Sun and inner planets were sufficiently far away that the inner planets could be modeled as a cylinder superimposed on the emissive sphere from the sun.
• The code for the eclipse time and interplanetary power calculation is very long and is not included in these slides. It can be obtained by contacting [email protected].
Maximum Burn Time Calculations
• The equations themselves for the maximum burn time calculations are fairly straightforward. The complicated portion was extracting the information from the provided cycler profile data. Due to the lengthy and intensive nature of the code required, it has not been attached here. (It is over 500 lines long.) If this code is desired, please contact [email protected].
• The provided cycler information used less than full-power burns. Power and thermal needed to know the equivalent full power burn time between refueling.
• To get the equivalent full-power burn time, the equation Δ𝑓𝑓𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 = Δtactual ∗ p was used.
• Δteq is the equivalent full-burn time• Δtactual is the actual burn time• p is the burn power on a 0-1 scale where 1 is a full power burn
Maximum Burn Time Calculations Continued
• The total maximum burn time between refueling was computed using the following equation: Δ𝑓𝑓 = ∫𝑟𝑟𝑛𝑛𝑟𝑟𝑏𝑏𝑝𝑝𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 1

Passive Thermal ControlPassive Thermal Control includes insulation around the entire spacecraft as well as Louvers which are shutters for the Sun to radiate onto the surface and close when insulation is necessary. Heaters are necessary when the spacecraft is in low power mode and needs some thermal energy to regulate the temperature of the cabin. Heat pipes provide a low energy solution for moving heat around by using concentric pipes that have fluid on the outside and vapor on the inside.

Heat AcquisitionHeat Acquisition is made up of Heat Exchangers and Coldplates. Coldplates are metal plates that have channels for coolant to flow through. These plates are exposed to cold environments to cool the coolant quickly. However, this device can be used to heat coolant as well if the surrounding temperature is warmer than the coolant. This is a very commonly used device for acquiring Heat into the system. The Heat exchangers are necessary for transfering heat from one coolant system into another which would be used in conjunction with the coldplate in this case.

Backup Slides: Vince Bartels - Motor SelectionFinal Selection: DC HTS Motor
Motor was selected due to its ridiculously high efficiency (peaking at 99.3%) and good fit for the task at hand. Source 2 indicated that these motors mainly become viable at industrial sizes of over 1000hp, a minimum total which our system easily reaches.
Given that HTS motors are brushless, the DC configuration retains the advantages of a typical BLDC motor:
- High torque- Low thermal emission- Vacuum compatible- Little degradability
System will need to dissipate more heat to keep material at superconducting temperatures (~93K [3]), however, Phobos’ low surface temperature will help to offset that as long as motor is not in direct sunlight.

Backup Slides: Vince Bartels - Solar Panel SizingBeginning with the chart on the left, I created the below table of potential power requirements and their respective required spin times. This allowed me to generate the required GWh for future battery applications which, due to the inverse relationship between power and spin time, is the same regardless of power input.

How motor power affects spin-up timeCreated by Grace Ness (MD)
Backup Slides: Vince Bartels - Solar Panel SizingThe next task was to determine radiation intensity on Phobos (and other bodies, for future reference) to complete my ultimate task of coming up with a reliable W/m2 number. This was achieved by use of the following equation [5]:
Radiation Intensity W/m^2 [5]
Phobos/Mars 588.5706216
Moon 1367
where IPhobos is the solar radiation intensity at Phobos, I1AU is the radiation intensity at a distance from the sun of 1AU, and d2
Phobos is the distance of Phobos from the sun. Assuming that the distance of Phobos is approximately equal to the distance of Mars, I came up with the table on the left
Backup Slides: Vince Bartels - Solar Panel Sizing588.57 W/m2 would be a great number, however, it fails to take into account the efficiency of the solar panels.
As such, the next major part of my research was determining the most efficient solar panels for the AM0, or zero atmosphere, condition. Source 1 provided me with ample information regarding cutting edge solar cell efficiencies, and I came to find that the highest efficiency solar cells from three major companies (Azurspace [2], Solaerotech [3], and SpectroLab [4]) provided ~32% efficiency in the AM0 environment.
Solar Array Efficiency [1]Top Production [2][3][4] 0.32SBT [1] 0.35Silicon (traditional) 0.169
SBT, or Semiconductor Wafer Bonding technology, showed the highest reported AM0 efficiency at 35%, however, it is not in production.
To finish off the below chart, I also included a traditional Silicon based solar cell with AM0 efficiency of 16.9% for comparison
Backup Slides: Vince Bartels - Solar Panel SizingCombining all of this information, I was able to make the final table seen below.
This table takes each potential solar cell, multiplies their efficiency by the radiation intensity seen at Phobos’ surface, and accounts for a lack of solar tracking (50-75% loss in power generation [5]).
Then, using all 5 potential power requirements, I was able to generate the table on the right which indicates the required solar array area for each type of solar cell.
Due to the general uncertainty of the final power required, these numbers do not take the motor efficiency into account, however, they easily can once total mass of the system is determined.
