“…New concepts, like low thrust cryogenic propulsion, may enable to extend the domain of cryogenic propulsion to lower propellant masses and smaller launchers (orbital stage or upper stage of micro launchers with payload below 300 kg) [10,14,17,43].…”

“…NASA Glenn's Cryogenic Analysis Tool (CAT) was used to evaluate the performance of the cryogenic propellant storage system design. Documentation of CAT models as well as previous usage is found Guernsey 2005, andPlachta 2002. Table 23 shows cryogenic system masses and power consumption estimated by the CAT.…”

The HERRO concept allows real time investigation of planets and small bodies by sending astronauts to orbit these targets and telerobotically explore them using robotic systems. Several targets have been put forward by past studies including Mars, Venus, and near Earth asteroids. A conceptual design study was funded by the NASA Innovation Fund to explore what the HERRO concept and it's vehicles would look like and what technological challenges need to be met. This design study chose Mars as the target destination. In this way the HERRO studies can define the 'endpoint' design concepts for an 'all-up' telerobotic exploration of the number one target of interest-Mars. This endpoint design will serve to help planners define combined precursor telerobotics science missions and technology development flights. A suggested set of these technologies and demonstrator missions is shown in Appendix B.The HERRO concept includes a crewed telerobotics orbit vehicle as well three Truck rovers, each supporting two teleoperated geologist robots 'Rockhounds' (each truck/Rockhounds set is landed using a commercially launched aeroshell landing system.) Options include a sample ascent system teamed with an orbital telerobotic sample rendezvous and return spacecraft (S/C) (yet to be designed). Each truck rover would be landed in a science location with the ability to traverse a 100 km diameter area, carrying the Rockhounds to 100 m diameter science areas for several week science activities. The truck is not only responsible for transporting the Rockhounds to science areas, but also for relaying telecontrol and high-res communications to/from the Rockhound and powering/heating the Rockhound during the non-science times (including night-time). The Rockhounds take the place of human geologists by providing an agile robotic platform with real-time telerobotics control to the Rockhound
