0.3Part I: Building the Chapter Framework

1. Shawna Assembles Chapter Objectives: I will start filling in theChapter Objectives in list format based on the outline,submissions and presentations you gave on Wednesday, notingwhich group is doing what. It is up to you to build the chaptersynopsis around it.

Please note that within the objectives:a. Missing content is hi-lighted in yellow;

b. New content that has been assigned to a group ishi-lighted in turquoise

c. Redundant content is hi-lighted in pink

d. Research that has been determined to be COPY ANDPASTED is high-lighted in green. This is a huge problemand you, as RDs, are responsible for dealing withthis. Andreea & Violetta have determined that all 4research group submissions were heavily guilty of

this. If this is not dealt with, I am reporting the offendingparties to faculty, NO EXCEPTIONS. (note: well deal with itinternally first if possible)

e. Chapter Managers: You are responsible for filling in thegaps, meeting with the other groups to determine who willcover the redundancy identified within your group andde-plagiarizing. Contact Shawna and let her know whenyou have addressed these so she can update thisdocument.

2. Chapter Managers Build Chapter Synopsis: Fill in the ChapterSynopsis in as much detail as you can. Please see the Synopsisexample that I am working on for the Introduction to see what Iwant (included at the end of this document). Basically, thesynopsis is a blueprint as to the content and organization ofeach chapter. Include headings if you can.

Example:

Chapter 1: Introduction - Synopsis & Objectives

Shawna fills in Objectives:

Within this chapter, we will state the following:

As part of this discussion, we will define the scope of our

project, stating:


8/43

(i) How we defined this topic, summarizing ourprevious work and defending the decision tomove away from Helium-3

(ii) Justify the decision to disclude Low Lunar Orbitand limit the discussion to the Lunar surface

(iii) Our focus is on Hydrogen, Oxygen and H2O, butwe will explore uses for by-products in laterchapters, as part of our business case.

(iv) The timeframe to which our project applies

So whoever is in charge of this section builds theSynopsis around these Objectives, for example:

This chapter is intended to set the stage for our report.Specifically, it will start on the broad scope of humanlunar exploration, what it was (a space-race for glory andnational superiority, what it has become (lunar missions

driven by scientific and economic return) and how wehave evolved to the current framework (what drivers ledus there? Mention science and the emergence of privatesector interest in field). From here, we will explore theneeds of the current framework (multiple needs: e.g.sustainable base, lunar transport, extraction process forfuels, fuel itself), leading into a specific discussion on theimportance of transport & fuel, what research has beenconducted thus far and concluding by exposing theexisting literature gap that our report will address,allowing us to underline the importance of meeting this

need, thereby explaining why our report is relevant andtimely

3. Where to Find the Content: For your reference, I compiled thesubmissions you gave me this week in a single 137-pageddocument. The content has been roughly ordered withinchapters according to our outline. The full outline is at thebeginning of the document while each chapter is also precededby the outline content for that specific chapter.

0.4Part II: Procedure for Pulling Together a

Proper ChapterPlease follow the procedure outlined below for making it a polishedproduct.

N.B.: When submitting to the faculty, include this list aschecklist to inform them as to the chapters progress, so theyknow what level of feedback to give you (i.e. if you have onlycompleted the first 3 steps, indicate as such so they dontream you for something that seems like patchwork).

1. Read the Chapter Synopsis.

2. Access the research submissions and pull together the

appropriate content to reflect the Synopsis. N.B. It is up to the


9/43

Chapter Manager to ensure that the content reflects thissynopsis.

3. Integrate the research material in a logical and coherentmanner, taking care to eliminate redundancies.

4. Add the essential chapter elements: Introduction, Conclusion,transition paragraphs, discussion, etc.

5. Hi-light research gaps and changes youd like to see in theChapter Synopsis and resubmit to the Report Manager and PFs,who will review the changes and reassign gaps to theappropriate research group.

6. Once you have a chapter that reads coherently, POLISH IT bytaking it through the edits outlined below. N.B.: Do notattempt to carry all these edits out on your own.Delegate these tasks out to other TP members, give thema deadline that allows you to complete your own work on

time, and note which TP member is in charge of what.Report Integration Duties Work Breakdown Structure

1.1Synopsis & Objectives [Note to self: define headings within this chapter: Make this a broadoverview; have a diagram of where we progress; look at previousreports introductions; talk about Why the Moon the Symposium andthis is our solution also distinguish what goes into the StudentPreface and what goes into the intro]

[Make the report direction and content clear]This chapter is intended to set the stage for our report [and to whatextent the project itself?]. Specifically, it will start on the broad scopeof human lunar exploration, what it was (talk about the Cold-War era a space-race for glory and national superiority, what it has become(lunar missions driven by scientific and economic return but keep itbrief! 1-2 sentences max!) and how we have evolved to the currentframework (what drivers led us there? Mention science and theemergence of private sector interest in field). From here, we willexplore the needs of the current framework (multiple needs: e.g.sustainable base, lunar transport, extraction process for fuels, fuel

itself), leading into a specific discussion on the importance of transport& fuel (and how they are necessary for ALL these activities), whatresearch has been conducted thus far (here we bring our mini-litreview) and concluding by exposing the existing literature gap that ourreport will address, allowing us to underline the importance of meetingthis gap, thereby explaining why our report is relevant and timely.

[N.B.: In addition to external literature, here we will also specificallyrefer to past ISU design projects and wha will allow us to develop andhow other areas have been extensively covered: for example the 2000MSS Team Project designed a lunar surface transport system entitledAutonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle while the 2006 Masters class

extensively explored in-situ resource extraction and utilization withFERTILE Moon. NOTE TO SELF, FINISH THIS.


14/43

This will lead us in into the discussion of what we will be specificallyaddressing: facilitating post-storage accessibility to specificpropellants necessary for lunar mobility: Hydrogen, Oxygen & H2O. Aspart of this discussion, we will define the scope of our project, stating:

(i) How we defined this topic, summarizing our previous work

and defending the decision to move away from Helium-3(ii) Justify the decision to exclude Low Lunar Orbit and limit the

discussion to the Lunar surface

(iii) Our focus is on Hydrogen, Oxygen and H2O, but we willexplore uses for by-products in later chapters, as part of ourbusiness case.

(iv) The timeframe to which our project applies

In the next section, we will expand upon the drivers, taking into

account:(i) The Exploration roadmaps of the major space agencies

(ii) (Note to self: Place in Chapter 2)

(iii) NOTE: When elaborating upon the plan, talk more aboutBrians idea about analogizing to Earth gas stations.

(iv) NOTE: Look into what other reports have done for otherintroductions and model this upon that

8.2Student Preface

GAS PUMP (General Architectural Structure: Procedures for Usage of MoonPropellants): The Big Picture

During the decades of the Cold War Era, the Space Race pushed humanityto farther frontiers, sending the first humans beyond the confines of theEarth, first to near-Earth space and low-Earth orbits, but eventually to theMoon itself.

Despite the initial pride and excitement stemming from these monumentalachievements, the magnitude of these large-scale ventures provedthemselves to be unsustainable, especially without the competition of the

Cold War as a driver. As a result, the post-Cold War decades bore witness to asignificant decline in interest in ambitious human ventures, amongst thegeneral public and by way of resulting decreases in dedicated funding andresources from national space agencies.

This trend has recently reversed itself as political will and public interest haveonce again come together to reignite an interest in human exploration of theMoon, this time coupled with scientific and economic drivers. For these

reasons, NASA, JAXA, and ROSKOSMOS, for example, have all described plansfor establishing a human presence on the Moon within the next 20 years.

Importantly, amidst these plans lies the emerging realization that these newvisions for lunar exploration necessitate pragmatic approaches andmeticulous planning if humanity is to move beyond the previous philosophy

of lunar exploration for thrill and achievement, and into an era of explorationfor scientific and economic gain.

The nature of this new exploration calls for elements necessary to sustainableexploratory missions and eventual lunar bases, including, for example, lifesupport systems, communication networks, mobility methods and reliablepower sources.

The space agencies varied reasons for returning to the Moon and theactivities planned on-site mean that reliable transportation will be a keyelement in navigating the Moon. This is a concept that is well-reviewed in theliterature in several aspects, but not so much in others. For example, the2000 ISU design project, Autonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle, was

dedicated to a lunar transport system for crew and cargo, while the 2006 ISUproject, FERTILE Moon, explored In-Situ Resource Utilization processes forenergy and fuel usage. However, gaps still exist in this field, both within theISU and the external literature.

Realistically, if exploration is to be carried out on a Moon-wide scale, thenbeyond the issue of simple and accessible transport systems and fuelacquisition lies the issue of propellant accessibility: after all, fuel is of no useif it cannot be properly stored and delivered.

The focus of the 2007 ISU design project, then, is exactly that: to design alunar propellant storage and distribution system that is safe, reliable, cost-effective and efficient. The value of this project is two-fold: firstly, thesystems, designed with the utmost care by referencing the existing literatureand experts in numerous fields, provide a fuel-accessibility architecture thatwill be crucial to the success of lunar exploration and mobility. Secondly, thisproject resists obsolescence owing to the development of a systems selectiontool that outputs a best system based on a comparison of existingtechnologies, qualities and assumptions hence it can be modified astechnology evolves to continue to generate the most capable and appropriatesystem for what is required of it.

It is the intent of the GAS PUMP design team that this project will be of theutmost value in supporting lunar exploration and mobility, serving as aninnovation to the future generations of lunar explorers who boldly andbrazenly dare to expand humanitys reach beyond the Earth.
