About VIP VIP is: • Vertically Integrated Program operates in a research and development context. • Undergraduate students earn academic credit for their participation in design/discovery efforts.

• Graduate students research and development issues in their areas of expertise.

The VIP teams are: • Multidisciplinary - drawing students from all disciplines on campus; • Vertically-integrated - maintaining a mix of sophomores through PhD students each semester; • Long-term - each undergraduate student may participate in a project for up to three years and each graduate student may participate for the duration of their graduate career.

Grading of VIP Teams 1. Documentation and records (33%)

• VIP Notebook (not optional); • VIP Wiki/blog documentation; • Code (via GT GitHub) if team is developing software.

2. Personal accomplishments and contributions to your team’s goals (33%) • Reports required by your adviser(s); • Engagement in project; • Pursuit of knowledge necessary for project;

3. Teamwork and interaction (33%) • Peer Evaluations; • On-time attendance in meetings; • Actively contributes to overall team goals; • Coordinates activities with other team ; • Assists other team ; • Team presentation(s).

• Contributions to the technical progress of the team; • For more experienced of the team, contributions to the management of the project may be expected. Francisco Valdes, Ph.D. , Paula Gomez. Aerospace Transportation and Advanced Systems Lab, GTRI

The VIP Notebook Notebook Maintenance • The notebook does not have removable pages. • •

Your name, your project's name, your info and your team ' info are recorded on the cover or inside of the cover. Each page is numbered, dated and signed.

To-Do List Maintenance • Maintain check-boxes for items to be done. •

Check-off and dated items when done.

Meeting Notes

•

Detailed meeting notes that include check-boxes for items for which you are responsible and deadlines for your sub team and the overall team.

Usability

•

Will your VIP notebook be of use to people who the team later and need to refer to it? This includes legibility, intelligible technical and meeting notes, and overall organization.

Overall

•

An overall rating of your notebook. (Detailed design notes, design decisions, copies of or pointers to code that you wrote, records of important websites, etc.)

Wiki content

•

Wiki content refers to documentation produced online, either through the VIP wiki site, T-square, or other team-approved site.

VIP Teams Expectations • Students are expected to be exploratory, creative, and imaginative. • Students are expected to be independent minded and develop designs based on their self-driven research and interests in the Martian environment, and design systems. • Students are expected to contribute and share knowledge and skills from their own disciplines in collaboration with other students, to teach each other as much as learn. • Students are expected to work together creating work as a synthesis of all disciplines Francisco Valdes, Ph.D. , Paula Gomez.

About M.A.R.S VIP Team General Team Focus: • NASA projects a possible human presence on Mars as early as 2030s. • We must develop systems capable of ing life on the red planet. • Earth-Made Martian Systems must be lightweight and small to make the journey and robust enough to survive without help from Earth. • The VIP M.A.R.S. Team will research and develop advanced systems to enable Martian energy harvesting and In-Situ Resources Utilization (ISRU). • We will collaborate with scientists and engineers at GTRI and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. • Main Focus will be the design of advanced habitats for extreme conditions, and the acquisition of reliable and renewable energy.

About M.A.R.S VIP Team

General Objectives: • Assess minimum path (“lean”) architectures on the basis of both affordability and sustainability for initial missions by the mid-2030s. • Identify the most efficient materials, architectures, system autonomy and energy management solutions needed to optimally project/generate a micro-environment around Martian assets.

• Establish fundamentals of key technology areas: materials/structures, packing/deployment, ISRU, and adaptive hardware • Identify meaningful, affordable activities that are necessary to carry out in the near term in order to advance key capabilities and technologies

• Continue to build community consensus on the viability of human missions to Mars.

Specific Objectives: • Adapt the most recent advances in multifunctional structures and additive manufacturing to enable architectural design to habitability in extreme environments (EE like Mars). • Propose Multi-Source energy harvesting systems based on ISRU to facilitate human operations on Mars (E.g. PZ + PV + TB)

• Innovate in ways to redirect solar energy into shadowed exploration sites, enabling the exploration of permanently shadowed craters and caves. • Create new sustainable system architectures based on Martian resources (ISRU)


10


Current Challenges: • The single greatest determining feature of surface missions is the need to operate in a complex and only partially understood environment. • Extreme planetary environments represent the next frontier for in-situ robotic/human space exploration. • Harsh environments lead to rapid degradation of components/systems and significant aging during longer missions. • Space missions are highly constrained by the amount of cargo capabilities • Operations that involve long periods of time without direct solar input or permanently shadowed environments.

• For mission to Mars, spare parts and maintenance of infrastructure and equipment is a big concern.


11

ISRU, Our main Focus • ISRU involves any hardware or operation that harnesses and utilizes ‘in situ’ resources to create products and services for robotic and human exploration

ISRU Challenges

Space Resource Challenges:

ISRU Technical Challenges:

• What resources exist at the site of exploration that can be used? • What are the uncertainties associated with these resources? • How to address planetary protection requirements?

• Is it technically feasible to collect, extract, and process the resource? • How to achieve long duration, autonomous operation and failure recovery? • How to achieve high reliability and minimal maintenance requirements?

ISRU Operation Challenges:

ISRU Integration Challenges:

• How to operate in extreme environments, including temperature, pressure, dust, and radiation? • How to operate in low gravity or microgravity environments?

• How are other systems designed to incorporate ISRU products? • How to optimize at the architectural level rather than the system level? • How to manage the physical interfaces and interactions between ISRU and other systems?
