Book Synopsis Technology and Architecture by : Jonathan Alexander Battat
Download or read book Technology and Architecture written by Jonathan Alexander Battat and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA's detailed programmatic goals, system architectures, and mission designs for future human spaceflight beyond Earth orbit remain unspecified. Given this uncertainty, it is not clear exactly which technologies are necessary for enabling future exploration. The process of establishing technology development strategy relies on methods to evaluate the benefits and cost of potential investments. While the cost of technology development is often the primary uncertainty, in this application it is particularly difficult to quantify the benefit of technology development without a clear understanding of the system architecture to which it is being applied. With destinations and exploration strategy left to be determined, the potential benefits of any given technology can not be stated with certainty. While challenging, it is necessary to identify a prioritization of these development projects for early investment before the system architecture is defined. This thesis develops a framework for evaluating technologies in the context of long term system architecture planning for the future human space exploration transportation system. An abstracted solution-neutral formulation of the transportation architecture to any arbitrary destination is defined as a combination of multiple architectural sub-problems. To evaluate technologies within the tradespace, two measures are adapted from design of experiments literature. Main effects analysis is used as a measure of a technology's influence on the best architectures. Similarly, the strength of coupling effects between two technologies is captured by interaction effects. The measures of technology influence and coupling enable architects to prioritize technologies based on their performance, and to organize investment decisions by those that must be treated together and those that can be taken in parallel. The system architecture tradespace for Mars, the Moon, and two representative Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) missions are explored and presented. Results from the proposed influence and coupling measures are used to evaluate technologies considered in the tradespace and to understand the benefits and tradeoffs presented by investing in different technologies in relation to each destination. Following the results from each tradespace, some suggestions of favorable pre-cursor missions to the Moon or NEAs are proposed as preparation for a future Mars exploration mission.
Book Synopsis A Constrained Space Exploration Technology Program by : National Research Council
Download or read book A Constrained Space Exploration Technology Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-01-29 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2004, President George W. Bush announced the Vision for Space Exploration (VSE), which instructed NASA to "Extend human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year 2020, in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations," among other objectives. As acknowledged in the VSE, significant technology development will be necessary to accomplish the goals it articulates. NASA's Exploration Technology Development Program (ETDP) is designed to support, develop, and ultimately provide the necessary technologies to meet the goals of the VSE. This book, a review of the ETDP, is broadly supportive of the intent and goals of the VSE, and finds the ETDP is making progress towards the stated goals of technology development. However, the ETDP is operating within significant constraints which limit its ability to successfully accomplish those goals-the still dynamic nature of the Constellation Program requirements, the constraints imposed by a limited budget, the aggressive time scale of early technology deliverables, and the desire to fully employ the NASA workforce.
Book Synopsis Advanced-to-Revolutionary Space Technology Options - The Responsibly Imaginable by : National Aeronaut Administration (Nasa)
Download or read book Advanced-to-Revolutionary Space Technology Options - The Responsibly Imaginable written by National Aeronaut Administration (Nasa) and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper summarizes a spectrum of low TRL, high risk technologies and systems approaches which could massively change the cost and safety of space exploration/exploitation/industrialization. These technologies and approaches could be studied in a triage fashion, the method of evaluation wherein several prospective solutions are investigated in parallel to address the innate risk of each, with resources concentrated on the more successful as more is learned. Technology areas addressed include Fabrication, Materials, Energetics, Communications, Propulsion, Radiation Protection, ISRU and LEO access. Overall and conceptually it should be possible with serious research to enable human space exploration beyond LEO both safe and affordable with a design process having sizable positive margins. Revolutionary goals require, generally, revolutionary technologies. By far, Revolutionary Energetics is the most important, has the most leverage, of any advanced technology for space exploration applications. Bushnell, Dennis M.

Book Synopsis Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems and Integration by : Paul A. Czysz
Download or read book Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems and Integration written by Paul A. Czysz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The updated and expanded third edition of this book focuses on the multi-disciplinary coupling between flight-vehicle hardware alternatives and enabling propulsion systems. It discusses how to match near-term and far-term aerospace vehicles to missions and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, directly contributing to the next-generation space infrastructure, from space tourism to space exploration. This holistic treatment defines a mission portfolio addressing near-term to long-term space transportation needs covering sub-orbital, orbital and escape flight profiles. In this context, a vehicle configuration classification is introduced covering alternatives starting from the dawn of space access. A best-practice parametric sizing approach is introduced to correctly design the flight vehicle for the mission. This technique balances required mission with the available vehicle solution space and is an essential capability sought after by technology forecasters and strategic planners alike.
Book Synopsis Path to Transformational Space Exploration, the (in 2 Volumes) by : Philip Lubin

This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Professor Lubin lays out the fundamental physics and mathematics required to radically alter our capabilities in propulsion to enable extreme high-speed space flight both in our solar system and beyond. The case is made that the only currently viable solution to enable this transformation, including relativistic flight for the first interstellar robotic missions, is using large-scale directed energy. Traditional methods of propulsion are not capable of achieving the speed required for rapid missions in our solar system, including fast crewed missions to Mars as well as the many robotic missions desired both in our solar system and to the nearest stars. Humanity has now reached a technological tipping point with the ability to project power over vast distances with transformational implications in a wide variety of areas from propulsion to beaming power throughout our solar system to planetary defence. In a series of over 50 technical papers the fundamentals of this transformation are outlined and synthesized in this book, allowing a detailed understanding of the many challenges ahead and a roadmap to the future direction for human exploration far beyond our solar system. While the road ahead is long and challenging, it provides the path to radically alter humanity's future in ultra-high-speed space exploration.

Book Synopsis Pathways to Exploration by : National Research Council
Download or read book Pathways to Exploration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has publicly funded its human spaceflight program on a continuous basis for more than a half-century, through three wars and a half-dozen recessions, from the early Mercury and Gemini suborbital and Earth orbital missions, to the lunar landings, and thence to the first reusable winged crewed spaceplane that the United States operated for three decades. Today the United States is the major partner in a massive orbital facility - the International Space Station - that is becoming the focal point for the first tentative steps in commercial cargo and crewed orbital space flights. And yet, the long-term future of human spaceflight beyond this project is unclear. Pronouncements by multiple presidents of bold new ventures by Americans to the Moon, to Mars, and to an asteroid in its native orbit, have not been matched by the same commitment that accompanied President Kennedy\'s now fabled 1961 speech-namely, the substantial increase in NASA funding needed to make it happen. Are we still committed to advancing human spaceflight? What should a long-term goal be, and what does the United States need to do to achieve it? Pathways to Exploration explores the case for advancing this endeavor, drawing on the history of rationales for human spaceflight, examining the attitudes of stakeholders and the public, and carefully assessing the technical and fiscal realities. This report recommends maintaining the long-term focus on Mars as the horizon goal for human space exploration. With this goal in mind, the report considers funding levels necessary to maintain a robust tempo of execution, current research and exploration projects and the time/resources needed to continue them, and international cooperation that could contribute to the achievement of spaceflight to Mars. According to Pathways to Exploration, a successful U.S. program would require sustained national commitment and a budget that increases by more than the rate of inflation. In reviving a U.S. human exploration program capable of answering the enduring questions about humanity's destiny beyond our tiny blue planet, the nation will need to grapple with the attitudinal and fiscal realities of the nation today while staying true to a small but crucial set of fundamental principles for the conduct of exploration of the endless frontier. The recommendations of Pathways to Exploration provide a clear map toward a human spaceflight program that inspires students and citizens by furthering human exploration and discovery, while taking into account the long-term commitment necessary to achieve this goal.
