4.5.6 Mechanisms<br />

Table 4-59: Overall budget<br />

HMM<br />

Assessment Study<br />

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

February 2004<br />

page 388 of 422<br />

4.5.6.1 Requirements and design drivers<br />

The HMM science requirements do not state any specific requirements applicable to the MAV<br />

Mechanisms. As a result of the MAV’s configuration, the following necessary mechanism and<br />

their requirements can be derived:<br />

• Vehicle Connections<br />

o Berthing & Docking Capability<br />

� Mars Ascent Vehicle<br />

• Berthing & Docking in Martian orbit<br />

• Un-docking during Martian orbit<br />

• Crew Egress Hatches<br />

o External Hatches and Locking Mechanism at the TV Docking Port and SHM<br />

Separation I/F.<br />

• Vehicle Stage Separation System<br />

o Release & Separation of Ascent Stage1.<br />

• Egress Hatch (MAV/TV I/F) contamination protection layer (disposable).<br />

4.5.6.2 Assumptions and trade-offs<br />

Vehicle Connection In-orbit:<br />

The following assumptions have been derived as a result of the study:-<br />

• The same Berthing and docking Mechanism shall be used throughout the system- IBDM<br />

o Androgynous system- identical mechanism mounted to both vehicles<br />

o Full redundancy of system provided<br />

o Full Internal Mechanism redundancy<br />

o Treble redundancy for release/emergency release.<br />

o Mechanism independent of hatch door.<br />

o Hatch door diametre limited to ingress/egress suitability (diameter 813 mm).
