The goal of this project was to study the feasibility of a lunar sample return campaign. Based on the Mars Sample Return and the Mars Ascent Vehicle, this proposed mission would collect a sample of lunar water ice from a shadowed crater at the moon’s south pole and return it either to orbit or to a specified location for collection by a crewed mission at a later date. To do this, a bottom up analysis was conducted to plan the mission and determine its potential. As part of this analysis, models and examination of all parts of the mission were conducted including, propulsion systems, trajectory, providers, mission profile, and thermal analysis. The results of this investigation proposed a mission to a crater to the west of the Shackleton crater rim with a robotic rover to collect the sample and a Lunar Ascent Vehicle (LAV) to return the sample to orbit and potentially back to earth. Each of the propulsion systems considered (solid, liquid, and hybrid) for the LAV were sized based off propellant masses compared to the Mars Ascent Vehicle and modeled to create a better picture of the requirements of the mission. While more work is still necessary and some technology readiness increased, the group’s analysis is that this is a feasible mission and could one day allow scientists to study some of the moon’s water ice.
