3.4.1.2.1 Requirements and design drivers<br />

The Mars orbit Injection (MOI) module is the propulsion module, that performs the injection into<br />

Mars orbit.<br />

The Trans Earth Injection (TEI) module is the propulsion module that brings the Habitation<br />

Module from Mars orbit to the Low Earth Orbit.<br />

The MOI is composed of four stacks fuelled by storable UDMH-NTO propellant. Two 80 tonne<br />

stacks for the first stage and two 50-tonne stacks for the second stage.<br />

The TEI is composed by the same propulsion system of the MOI first stage and uses the same<br />

engine components and storable propellant. The TEI module is composed only by one stack.<br />

As for the TMI module the stacks are injected in LEO and assembled in orbit. Due to launchers<br />

constraints each stack weighs a max 80 tonnes and, is enveloped in a cylinder of 6 metres<br />

diameter and a length of 35 m.<br />

The thrust level is dictated to minimise the gravitational losses. The MOI burn is divided into 2<br />

burns and staged in two assemblies. Each stage is composed of two stacks.<br />

3.4.1.2.2 Assumptions and trade-offs<br />

The MOI uses only storable NTO/UDMH liquid propellants.<br />

Semi-storable (LOX-Kerosene) engines were also considered in the analysis to increase the<br />

specific impulse and reduce propellant mass. The use of cryogenic (LOX-LH2) or partially cryo<br />

(LOX-Kerosene) propellant has been analysed and at the time of writing an assessment for LOX-<br />

Kerosene (or derivatives) is under evaluation. Baseline design<br />

A Russian RD 0212 engine has been selected as propulsion system for the MOI and TEI stack.<br />

The thruster has been developed for the third stage of K/M Proton launcher.
