• Safety, so a fail-safe design is mandatory<br />

• Has to provide interfaces with all the other elements, because it is the ‘backbone’<br />

The PM main design drivers are:<br />

• ∆Vs required for the mission are of the order of 3 km/s for each manoeuvre<br />

• Large payloads, specially the THM which has to be sent to Mars and brought back<br />

• Launcher constraints in terms of mass and dimensions<br />

• Only cryogenic and storable technologies to be used<br />

• Boil-off rate<br />

• Usage of existing engines<br />
