Human Landing System Storable Propellant Architecture: Mission Design, Guidance, Navigation, and ControlIn preparation of the NextSTEP-2 Appendix H awards, NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS) Program (HLSP) went through an abbreviated Design Analysis Cycle (DAC), or miniDAC, to characterize and quantify how a storable propellant design would affect and improve overall system performance of the Government reference design. As part of that miniDAC, HLSP ran multiple trade studies and assessments, including aspects of Mission Design, Flight Mechanics (FM), and Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C). The storable propellant designs were assessed through the baseline mission targeting the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) and several alternate staging orbits. This paper focuses on the FM and GN&C trades and assessments completed as part of the miniDAC as well as the GN\&C elements of the miniDAC Master Equipment List (MEL) developed for the storable propellant lander configurations.
