2.10 Ground segment and operations<br />

2.10.1 Mission operations concept<br />

The ground operations shall be able to support the following operational tasks:<br />

• In-orbit assembly<br />

• Operation of Life Support System<br />

• Operation of subsystems<br />

• Support crew work<br />

• Support crew daily life<br />

• Interplanetary transfer<br />

• Mars orbit insertion<br />

• Landing on Mars<br />

• Ascent from Martian surface<br />

• Rendezvous and docking in Mars orbit<br />

• Insertion into Earth trajectory from Mars<br />

• Earth reentry<br />

2.10.1.1 On-board autonomy<br />

The following autonomy concept is assumed:<br />

• On-board autonomy (cruise and at Mars)<br />

• Short term for all situations<br />

• Medium term for nominal operations/situations by:<br />

- Crew to handle higher level decisions<br />

- On-board hierarchical operations concept with automatisms on<br />

lowest level<br />

• Earth Orbit Assembly Phase under real-time ground control.<br />

• Critical Phases Operations (cruise and at Mars)<br />

• Real time and lower level decisions by automatisms<br />

• Crew autonomy for decisions that do not allow for ground feedback<br />

• Ground control responsibility for high-level decisions as far as<br />

commensurable with ground feedback time<br />

• Mission Planning (long term) on ground<br />

• Monitoring on ground<br />

• Permanent Presence of basic ground control<br />

• Think Tank on ground on call to solve problem situations<br />

The above autonomy concept is based on the following rationale:<br />
