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...
#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.

#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE _ Why nuclear power and propulsion: The system is well suited for space exploration activities and does share an interest in commercial space.
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE - Surface power strategy, want to deliver a qualified flight demo in 2030 and want to transition technology to industry. Looking at a 40Kw scalable system at first. want system to be placed at different lunar surface sites and a 10 year lifetime
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE Why develop ISRU Can increase safety for the crew and has direct applications here on Earth. Planetary preservation is paramount
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE - ISRU is one of the 6 points of extreme environmental extreme access, dust mitigation, and unique aspects to each one of these points want to make sure we're driving these processes to mitigate risk.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - We have 3 points as described in the chart Develop tech not only for human and robotic exploration but tech that drives the expanding space economy.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - QR code for the strategy 63 top-level objectives developed as a cross-agency activity
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Taken objectives and broken them down into 4 categories, form those objectives we're creating an architecture. with our workforce, international partners, industry and academic partners
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Going over the plan for the #Artemis1 mission. Was a successful mission design
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Amit Kshatriya - What I was really thinking about were all about the US businesses that put thier hands on that hardware, sometimes "Mom & Pop" shops. Just how many of them contributed to the success.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Jim Free, we want to get on pace to launch every year, that will be a challenge to ac hive without the budget to go with it. Will work closely with the Centers, will have great collaboration but will also be a time when we need to talk stuff though
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Want a sustained presence meaning a robotic presence on the Moon when we don't have crew present
#NASA#NAC#HEO Free: Were going to transition program to operations; Agency decided NOT to do that, so a new organization had to be established
