#NASA #NAC #HEO - Session starting with @nujoud

As a systems engineer you also have to state the why. When we're talking here we have to say why we're doing the architecture

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Some of the papers that describe the why and the challenges

#NASA #NAC #HEO - The approach being used. Q: White papers and other documents: How are we socializing the products or inserting them in the conciseness of Industry? We're doing both international partner and industry partners

We want industry to see and come up with some solutions that we may not have come up with on our own.

#NASA #NAC #HEO - We're talking an esoteric objective and tring to convert it into a tangible outcome.

Example Transportation Goal 1 We want to demonstrate we have a vehicle that can take the crew to orbit can see how the vehicles developed fit into the architecture.

Hale: When you have one lander, why do you need another? Where do you get the requirement for the 2nd one A: Free: This isn't a procurement document, We own Orion but we're buying services long term, but we want competition. We've done that with suits...

Can we afford to do that with other things? not sure yet.

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Back to @nujoud Integrated missions are the segments we need to build on. Human lunar elements will feed forward.

#NASA #NAC #HEO - The iteration process Want to make sure we have all of the objectives to complete humans to Mars mission. Mars Transportation systems is a very large study right now. How much you vary in the solution, but that's why we have the white papers to publish...

..publish the rationale behind those decisions.

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Q: Suppose SpaceX gets Starship Flying why not just use that to transfer people to get to the Moon are there on-ramps for a situation like that? A: Yes there are the benefits of tech innovation can be infused through all of this process

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Here are the initial sub architectures.

These two slides went by fairly fast just posting them here.
