Abstract:This paper presents a formulation of a lunar surface excursion based on planetary extra vehicular activity parameters and constraints, and analyzes the supply and collection of resources (i.e. oxygen, pure water and waste water) for the life support system during a short excursion to Malapert and a longer trip to Schrödinger Basin. In the two excursions the life support system recycling options were studied using spread sheet simulations. The results indicated that the improved whole-system recycling rate when… Show more
