Summary

Description
English: Cislunar Space: A Deep Space Harbor for Exploration Missions
LOCATION
  • Only ~3 to 5 days away from Earth yet farther than Apollo went
  • Ideal mission aggregation location
– Lunar Surface, Mars and Asteroids all accessible for less than 2.5 km/sec
– Cryogenic oxygen & hydrogen used to inject to cis-lunar without requiring ZBO
  • The next “high ground” beyond GEO
– L2 – Lunar far-side science
– L1 – Earth observations
– All cis-lunar – low latency teleoperations of lunar assets
  • Access to local resources (ISRU)
– Lunar gravity assists
– Lunar surface volatiles
– Asteroidal material
  • Accessible by NASA, commercial, and international launch systems
ENVIRONMENT
  • True deep space radiation environment
– Similar to Mars system & transit there
– No van Allen belts
  • Benign orbital debris environment
  • Minimal station keeping requirements
  • Some stable orbits
  • Orbital phasing and transfer for minimal energy
  • Infrequent/avoidable eclipse periods
  • Thermal environment compatible with cryogenic oxygen and methane
