Chapter Managers/Research Directors – PLEASE READ THIS CHAPTER BEFORE YOU BEGIN 1.0Notes: 1. If you only read 2 sections, make sure it is this one and the one you are in charge of. These are cross-referenced within the Table of Contents and the Work Breakdown Structure table, so hit ‘ctrl+click’ to get there without scrolling through the document. 2. So far I have only copy-and-pasted the outline with minor edits into the relevant sections. EXPECT THESE TO CHANGE QUITE A BIT. 3. The research submissions are compiled in a separate document called ‘Compiled Submissions round 1.’ 4. Let me know if you have questions!

1.1Instructions for Chapter Managers Welcome to the wonderful world of Chapter Management! ;) Basically, in order to pull together a first rough draft for Tuesday, I am putting you all in charge of a chapter for Tuesday (see next section for Chapter assignments). It is a lot of work, so make sure you ‘contract it out’ – i.e. delegate in order to meet your deadline! If you are too busy, delegate the Chapter Manager role to someone in your group to take care of it – but you are still responsible for having something for me by Tuesday, April 21, 2007. N.B.: There is a lot to be done, so I will try to assist you as much as possible. I have identified my general role within the chapters as noted in the table entitled ‘Report Integration Duties.’ N.B.-2: For SUBMISSIONS: Only send me your sections, not the entire document!! Delete the rest.

0.3Part I: Building the Chapter Framework 1. Shawna Assembles Chapter Objectives: I will start filling in the Chapter Objectives in list format based on the outline, submissions and presentations you gave on Wednesday, noting which group is doing what. It is up to you to build the chapter synopsis 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 is hi-lighted in turquoise c. Redundant content is hi-lighted in pink d. Research that has been determined to be COPY AND PASTED is high-lighted in green. This is a huge problem and you, as RDs, are responsible for dealing with this. Andreea & Violetta have determined that all 4 research group submissions were heavily guilty of this. If this is not dealt with, I am reporting the offending parties to faculty, NO EXCEPTIONS. (note: we’ll deal with it internally first if possible) e. Chapter Managers: You are responsible for filling in the gaps, meeting with the other groups to determine who will cover the redundancy identified within your group and ‘de-plagiarizing’. Contact Shawna and let her know when you have addressed these so she can update this document. 2. Chapter Managers Build Chapter Synopsis: Fill in the Chapter Synopsis in as much detail as you can. Please see the Synopsis example that I am working on for the Introduction to see what I want (included at the end of this document). Basically, the synopsis is a blueprint as to the content and organization of each 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:

29

(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 disclude Low Lunar Orbit and limit the discussion to the Lunar surface

(iii)

Our focus is on Hydrogen, Oxygen and H2O, but we will explore uses for by-products in later chapters, as part of our business case.

(iv)

The timeframe to which our project applies’

So whoever is in charge of this section builds the Synopsis 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 human lunar exploration, what it was (a space-race for glory and national superiority, what it has become (lunar missions driven by scientific and economic return) and how we have evolved to the current framework (what drivers led us there? Mention science and the emergence of private sector interest in field). From here, we will explore 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, what research has been conducted thus far and concluding by exposing the existing literature gap that our report will address, allowing us to underline the importance of meeting this need, thereby explaining why our report is relevant and timely…’ 3. Where to Find the Content: For your reference, I compiled the submissions you gave me this week in a single 137-paged document. The content has been roughly ordered within chapters according to our outline. The full outline is at the beginning of the document while each chapter is also preceded by the outline content for that specific chapter.

0.4Part II: Procedure for Pulling Together a Proper Chapter Please follow the procedure outlined below for making it a polished product. N.B.: When submitting to the faculty, include this list as checklist to inform them as to the chapter’s progress, so they know what level of feedback to give you (i.e. if you have only completed the first 3 steps, indicate as such so they don’t ream 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

29

Chapter Manager to ensure that the content reflects this synopsis. 3. Integrate the research material in a logical and coherent manner, taking care to eliminate redundancies. 4. Add the essential chapter elements: Introduction, Conclusion, transition paragraphs, discussion, etc. 5. Hi-light research gaps and changes you’d like to see in the Chapter Synopsis and resubmit to the Report Manager and PFs, who will review the changes and reassign gaps to the appropriate research group. 6. Once you have a chapter that reads coherently, POLISH IT by taking it through the edits outlined below. N.B.: Do not attempt to carry all these edits out on your own. Delegate these tasks out to other TP members, give them a deadline that allows you to complete your own work on time, and note which TP member is in charge of what.

1.1Synopsis & Objectives [Note to self: define headings within this chapter: Make this a broad overview; have a diagram of where we progress; look at previous reports’ introductions; talk about Why the Moon – the Symposium and this is our solution – also distinguish what goes into the Student Preface 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 what extent the project itself?]. Specifically, it will start on the broad scope of 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 it brief! 1-2 sentences max!) and how we have evolved to the current framework (what drivers led us there? Mention science and the emergence of private sector interest in field). From here, we will explore 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), what research has been conducted thus far (here we bring our mini-lit review) and concluding by exposing the existing literature gap that our report will address, allowing us to underline the importance of meeting this gap, thereby explaining why our report is relevant and timely. [N.B.: In addition to external literature, here we will also specifically refer to past ISU design projects and wha will allow us to develop and how other areas have been extensively covered: for example the 2000 MSS Team Project designed a lunar surface transport system entitled “Autonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle” while the 2006 Masters’ class extensively explored in-situ resource extraction and utilization with “FERTILE Moon.” NOTE TO SELF, FINISH THIS.

29

This will lead us in into the discussion of what we will be specifically addressing: facilitating ‘post-storage’ accessibility to specific propellants necessary for lunar mobility: Hydrogen, Oxygen & H2O. As part 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 will explore uses for by-products in later chapters, as part of our business 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 about Brian’s idea about analogizing to Earth gas stations….

(iv)

NOTE: Look into what other reports have done for other introductions and model this upon that CHAPTER 1 - Introduction

8.1Synopsis & Objectives 8.2Student Preface GAS PUMP (General Architectural Structure: Procedures for Usage of Moon Propellants): The Big Picture During the decades of the Cold War Era, the ‘Space Race’ pushed humanity to farther frontiers, sending the first humans beyond the confines of the Earth, first to near-Earth space and low-Earth orbits, but eventually to the Moon itself. Despite the initial pride and excitement stemming from these monumental achievements, the magnitude of these large-scale ventures proved themselves 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 a significant decline in interest in ambitious human ventures, amongst the general public and by way of resulting decreases in dedicated funding and resources from national space agencies. This trend has recently reversed itself as political will and public interest have once again come together to reignite an interest in human exploration of the Moon, this time coupled with scientific and economic drivers. For these

29

reasons, NASA, JAXA, and ROSKOSMOS, for example, have all described plans for establishing a human presence on the Moon within the next 20 years. Importantly, amidst these plans lies the emerging realization that these new visions for lunar exploration necessitate pragmatic approaches and meticulous planning if humanity is to move beyond the previous philosophy of lunar exploration for thrill and achievement, and into an era of exploration for scientific and economic gain. The nature of this new exploration calls for elements necessary to sustainable exploratory missions and eventual lunar bases, including, for example, life support systems, communication networks, mobility methods and reliable power sources. The space agencies’ varied reasons for returning to the Moon and the activities planned on-site mean that reliable transportation will be a key element in navigating the Moon. This is a concept that is well-reviewed in the literature in several aspects, but not so much in others. For example, the 2000 ISU design project, “Autonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle,” was dedicated to a lunar transport system for crew and cargo, while the 2006 ISU project, “FERTILE Moon,” explored In-Situ Resource Utilization processes for energy and fuel usage. However, gaps still exist in this field, both within the ISU and the external literature. Realistically, if exploration is to be carried out on a Moon-wide scale, then beyond the issue of simple and accessible transport systems and fuel acquisition lies the issue of propellant accessibility: after all, fuel is of no use if it cannot be properly stored and delivered. The focus of the 2007 ISU design project, then, is exactly that: to design a lunar propellant storage and distribution system that is safe, reliable, costeffective and efficient. The value of this project is two-fold: firstly, the systems, designed with the utmost care by referencing the existing literature and experts in numerous fields, provide a fuel-accessibility architecture that will be crucial to the success of lunar exploration and mobility. Secondly, this project resists obsolescence owing to the development of a systems selection tool that outputs a ‘best’ system based on a comparison of existing technologies, qualities and assumptions – hence it can be modified as technology evolves to continue to generate the most capable and appropriate system for what is required of it. It is the intent of the GAS PUMP design team that this project will be of the utmost value in supporting lunar exploration and mobility, serving as an innovation to the future generations of lunar explorers who boldly and brazenly dare to expand humanity’s reach beyond the Earth.
