Assessment Study<br />

Report: CDF-20(A)<br />

February 2004<br />

• SHM to MAV<br />

The hatch diameter is sized to about 800 mm. The hatch will potentially require latch and seal<br />

mechanisms. Mass estimates shall be realised using a ‘simple geometry’ model.<br />

The astronaut enters the EVA suits via a hatch in the airlock wall. Once the astronaut is ready,<br />

the airlock hatch door is closed which also closes the EVA suit by closing and sealing the life<br />

support back-pack unit. Once the suit has been verified as sealed, the suit is released from its<br />

mounting on the outside of the SHM module. Exiting the suit is the reverse process. The suit is<br />

first latched to the SHM outer wall at the location of the hatch. The hatch is then opened, which<br />

opens the rear of the EVA suit allowing the astronaut to exit the suit. The mass of such a device<br />

has been estimated. No detail design has been considered.<br />

4.3.8.3.2 Vehicle separation<br />

The separation of the MAV from the SHM prior to launch shall be realized with a pyrotechnic<br />

operated clamp-band of about 1.5 m.<br />

4.3.8.3.3 Bio-lock quarantine facility<br />

This is a circular enclosure, integral to the SHM outer wall, which houses the individual bio-lock<br />

facilities. The enclosure will provide a sealed area allowing the application of the explosive seal<br />

to the container and providing a quarantine volume to allow for seal verification.<br />

The quarantine volumes are shown in Table 4-24:<br />

OD (mm) ID (mm) Ext. Length Int. Length Material Unit Mass<br />

(mm) (mm)<br />

(Kg)<br />

360 (volume) 350 270 250 Ti 15.4<br />

200 (lid) 50 Ti 7<br />

4.3.8.3.4 Landing system lock<br />

Table 4-24: Quarantine volume<br />

This device will block the damping system of the legs due to reentry loading on the heat shield<br />

mounted to the landing system feet. No specific design has been considered. A mass estimate<br />

was used.<br />

4.3.8.3.5 Communication antenna<br />

Current APM systems are able to meet the pointing requirements for the antenna. A suitable unit<br />

has been chosen and an estimate of the deployable boom mass has been made.<br />
