PowerPoint PresentationOrbital Aggregation & Space Infrastructure Systems (OASIS) is an in-space architecture concept consisting of highly reusable systems and resources that provide a common infrastructure for enabling a large class of space missions
FY01 RASC studies focused on preliminary design of OASIS elements and analysis of Lunar Gateway and commercial mission scenarios
This study package summarizes results of FY01 OASIS commercialization analyses
OASIS capability and potential commercial markets (traffic model)
Economic viability analysis
*
OASIS performance has been evaluated for commercial satellite applications
OASIS commercial traffic models have been developed based on satellite delivery; considered the “floor”
for potential commercial applications
OASIS Economic Viability
HPM/CTM has commercial potential when used as an orbital transfer stage in conjunction with a
low cost booster to LEO at flight rates greater than 3 per year per HPM/CTM
OASIS commercial viability is highly sensitive to infrastructure costs, mission rates and Earth-to-LEO
launch costs
*
Earth Neighborhood commercial and DoD
space missions in the +2015 timeframe
Determine key needs for projected commercial/DoD missions
that OASIS may support (e.g., deployment, refueling/servicing,
retrieval/disposal)
Quantify levels of potential commercial utilization and develop ROM estimates for economic impacts
Study Drivers
ETO transportation costs (trades vs. non-OASIS architectures, cost of resupply propellant)
Assumptions
A low cost Earth-to-LEO transportation capability is required
Highly reliable RLV or ELV for sensitive cargo
Lower cost LEO delivery system for propellant resupply
Industry adopts common infrastructure (e.g., attach fittings, refueling ports, plug-and-play avionics)
Goal - Maximize potential commercial opportunities
(i.e., Greatest number of satellites deployed/serviced with minimum number of OASIS elements)

FY02 Study Products
FY01 Study Products
Commercial
( >5,445 kg)
Commercial launch demand trends:
Consolidation of spacecraft manufacturers/owners
DoD
DoD applications difficult to identify; programs under definition
Trend toward greater value and functionality per satellite unit mass; initial “picosatellite” experiments have been completed
AF Science Advisory Board: distributed constellations of smaller satellites offer better prospects for “global, real-time coverage” and “advantages in scaling, performance, cost, and survivability”
Potential for very large antenna arrays for optical and radio-frequency imaging utilizing advanced structures and materials technologies

"Refined" traffic model
Co-located satellites offset by 2 degree latitude increments for display
Source data: www.lyngsat.com
Deployment
Next generation, follow-on to DARPA Orbital Express (OE) Space Operations Architecture Program
OE demonstration planned for CY2006
OE uses “industry standard” interfaces
400 KM HPM Parking Orbit
Satellite Operational Orbit
(1) ELV launches HPM resupply propellant; HPM/CTM perform rendezvous/dock and refueling operations
(2) RLV launches and deploys one or more satellites to LEO
(3) HPM/CTM perform rendezvous/docking and maneuver to satellite operational orbit
(4) HPM/CTM deploy satellite in operational orbit and return to parking orbit
(5) HPM/CTM complete maneuver to parking orbit
*
Integrated Architecture Elements
Preliminary performance analyses based on manipulation of the
rocket equation
where DV = velocity change, g = gravity constant, Isp = specific impulse, mi = initial mass, mf = final mass
*
Market
Future NGSO constellations will exist in similar orbits as recently envisioned
Launch Vehicle
Delivers payloads to 400 km circular parking orbits at inclination (inc) and
right ascension (RA) of stored OASIS elements closest to final orbit
HPM
A propellant reserve provides 150 mps velocity reserve for maneuvers
(e.g., rendezvous, proximity operations and docking, reboost in storage orbits, etc)
CTM
HPM chemical engine applies DV impulsively at locally optimal orbit locations
Perigee and Apogee (i.e., Hohmann transfers) for altitude variation
Node crossings for inclination changes
Nodal complement locations for right ascension changes
Propellant is available to autonomously pre-position to HPM rendezvous point as necessary
SEP
Not considered in analyses due to mission duration impact and refurbishment costs
Satellite
*
apogee of transfer orbit
* Sequence steps 2 and 3 reversed if
satellite inclination > HPM/CTM inclination
Calculate DV required for delivery and return
Compare DV to HPM/CTM capability
Adjust HPM/CTM inclination and orbit planes
to improve performance
Need 3 constellations, total of 30 HPM/CTMs
(10 in each constellation)
Results
Need 2 constellations, total of 18 HPM/CTMs
Launch windows occur within 30 days
Line of nodes
HPM/CTM and satellite orbits eliminates need
for Right Ascension plane change
But, requires time to align orbit planes
Nodal Regression Rate
*
Planar launch window opportunities within 30 days
MEO satellites (e.g., GPS) are delivered to transfer orbits using “near ISS” HPM/CTMs

"Refined" traffic model
“Refined” commercial traffic model based on:
Higher usage rate missions only (> 3 flights per HPM per year)
Single launch site from ETR to eliminate duplication of ground infrastructure (excludes polar servicing)
50% market share (of high traffic model)
Traffic model variation is based on satellite lifetime extremes
Lifetime Estimates
Objective
Provide a preliminary economic viability assessment of HPM/CTM in future commercial satellite deployment/servicing markets as defined by the integrated traffic model
Approach
Compare potential life cycle earnings over range of critical economic factors
Identify economic factors with strong influence on earnings
Determine the economic sensitivity and establish hurdle values for these critical factors
Earning levels necessary for economic viability include allowance for non-recurring start up costs
Start up costs per HPM/CTM include: HPM/CTM procurement (ROM estimate: ~$150 million each), and initial launch, development and deployment of commercial peculiar infrastructure (e.g., HPM propellant processing facilities)
Start up costs per HPM/CTM assumed not to exceed $500 million; actual value varies inversely with fleet size
Industry leverages government investment in infrastructure development

Commercial Viability Requires:
Enough life cycle earnings to:
Cover start-up costs (HPM/CTM procurement/deployment and infrastructure estimated to be as much as $0.5 billion)
Provide desired return on investment
Low propellant delivery cost (< $1,000/kg)
HPM/CTM use rates > 3 flights per year
