#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Niki Werkheiser up next
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Why develop ISRU Can increase safety for the crew and has direct applications here on Earth. Planetary preservation is paramount Image
#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. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Focusing on ice mining and O2 extraction ice mining will be a CLPS flight for O2 Extraction maturing the tech on the ground, then will perform a demo on site. What we learn will inform what process we use on CT 2 Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - How do we get feed back from the community it was stood up with LSII, want to make sure we get feedback and biannual meetings. @JHUAPL was the facilitator on this. Then provides a summary that drives home the summaries across the disciplines Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - A rundown of the LSIC focus groups. Jerry Sanders taking over the talk. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Sanders: Where do you see your diciplnes being 20, 30 years out? This chart is sort of that vision in a nutshell. Want to look at how to develops commodities on the lunar surface & the words commodities was used with full intent to sell them from the Moon Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE ISRU is part of an architecture. You have to understand what is going on. Have to define what the in-situ resources are so then you can id them, also have to look at the feedstocks, and having water as a product. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE ISRU Involves multiple disciplines and doesn't exist on its own. ISRU requires something, need lots of power, common nav,once you start working ISRU it gives back can provide depots for transportation systems. ISRU won't happen like a lightswitch. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Need ISRU as a time context There's only one real data point and that's the #LCROSS impact. There are rare earth elements that may be a strategic importance over time. As time goes on we'll get into manufacturing. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Moon to Mars Objectives: gone through them and pulled them out as they relate to ISRU and came up with 4 objectives. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Black arrows we think are the drivers. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Focused on the O2 extraction in regolith, seeded those programs and working though them, and we're now seeding metal extraction and construction. We use these plans to hit those different areas, Next Round: Waste processing/plastics. Big ? Mars ISRU. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - How you see things over a period of time, having demonstrations over time to show you that this is a viable over time #MOXIE has worked fabulously. Its 1/200th scale of a human mission. Funded that tech. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Here are the types of missions that we've been looking at At the top there are missions that will help us understand what resources are around the Moon. We do know a lot about regolith and have to find out what kind of excavation we'd perform. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Idea is we'd want to go with a pilot plan and a scale that will buy down the risk of full-scale implementation, want to try this new tech without using it as a mission-critical technology. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE Plan: How to we enable the industry to be successful? Who are the customers, developers? The idea is to promote industry and break "chicken and egg" cycle. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - if you overlap them the downstream tech analogies are very similar, Mars has a ironized surface regolith. We can try these things on the Moon first before we go to Mars. Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Want to help industry buy down risk (placerd 1 ) and get the public involved through the university program. (placard 2 ) ImageImage
Presentation ends. Image

#NASA #NAC #HEO #TIE - Next up.. Image
#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. Image
#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 Image

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Session starting with @nujoud Image
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 Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO - Some of the papers that describe the why and the challenges Image

#NASA #NAC #HEO - Cathy Koerner is next Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO -Aking why we do this, and this is @Astro_Pam's chart as to why we do things Image
#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 Image

#NASA #NAC #HEO -Next- Image
#NASA #NAC #HEO - Going over the plan for the #Artemis1 mission. Was a successful mission design Image
#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. Image

#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 Image
#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 Image
