Storage<br />

Figure 4-59: Comparison of required volume for the eight architecture options<br />

Options 1 and 2 would produce 1075 litres of water that can be used for life support purposes<br />

(drinking water included). In total, during the surface operations, 437 litres are necessary for the<br />

astronauts. Hence, for these two options, the fact that water is not stored anymore in the life<br />

support subsystem, 437 litres and 437 kg has to be deducted from the power subsystem mass and<br />

volume figures.<br />

Moreover, the production and consumption of the water is spread continuously for the duration<br />

of the mission. Therefore, the water storage tank does not need to be sized for the total duration<br />

of the stay on the surface.<br />

Option 1 (liquid storage) has as main disadvantage the cooling by the TV during all the cruise to<br />

Mars. Nevertheless, the increase of the required TV solar panels seems feasible.
