SPACE TRANSPORT ARCHITECTURE AND METHOD FOR ROBOTIC PLANETARY OPERATIONS.

摘要

space transport architecture (ats) for robotic operations on a planet. the ats includes an earth launch vehicle (ltv) (10), designed to carry a space transfer vehicle (vts) (15) and associated payloads (17) so as to place them on a low earth orbit (opt).the space transfer vehicle (vts) (15) is carried by the vlt (10) is designed to carry payloads into orbit with an opt out in the world, and payloads (17) from planetary orbit, so that they end up in one of at least one site planetary exploration. at least one planetary probe (17) is given by the following.the sensor (17) is designed to carry a variety of robotic platforms (58) and operational platform to deploy to the scene of the exploration site. a variety of robotic operational platforms (58) is carried by each of the probes (17).
