SPACE LOGISTIX / Mission scenarios / CONCEPT

Orbit, delivery, return.

Three scenario types are studied: orbital components and experiments, infrastructure supply and cargo recovery. Each requires a different environment, recipient and handover procedure.

ORBITAL / RESEARCH

An instrument or experiment in MICRO / STANDARD. ILS connects recipient requirements, documentation and identification. Thermal conditions and fixtures require analysis.

ENGINEERING STUDY

SUPPLY / INFRASTRUCTURE

Supplies and components in STANDARD / HEAVY. Recipient access, adapters and unloading must be reviewed; a container does not replace a cargo vehicle.

ENGINEERING STUDY

RETURN / RECOVERY

Returning samples and components, typically MICRO. SLX RETURN connects manifests, recovery and laboratory acceptance; an approved return vehicle is required.

ENGINEERING STUDY

Concept in development. Parameters, interfaces and applications require documentation, testing and mission-specific approval.
