CDD Requirements Landed Mass kg 1 st mission landing site is polar region Design must be capable of landing at other lunar locations Minimize cost across design Launch Date NLT September 30 th 2012 Mobility is required to meet objectives Survivability ≥ 1 year Lander/Rover must survive conops. The mission shall be capable of meeting both SMD and ESMD objectives. The lander must land to a precision of ± 100m 3 sigma of the predicted location. The lander must be capable of landing at a slope of 12 degrees (slope between highest elevated leg of landing gear and lowest elevated leg) The lander shall be designed for g-loads during lunar landing not to exceed the worst case design loads for any other phase of the mission (launch to terminal descent).

Daedalus Thermal Passive Systems Paints- White and Black MLI Blankets –15 Layers, Betacloth, Aluminized Kapton Thermal Switches –Diaphragm Thin Plate Switch High Conductance Cold Plate Active Systems Solid-State Controlled Heaters Variable Radioisotope Heater Units –50 Units Provide about 50 W of Heat Variable Conductance Heat Pipes –Aluminum with Ammonia Working Fluid

GN&C Provides Completely Autonomous Landing sequence Very Precise landing location Landing location determined before launch Hazard Avoidance Objective: To deliver Daedalus from 5km altitude safely and accurately to the lunar surface

Daedalus Communications Earth Receiver and Transmitter Lunar Penetrators LRO Penetrators to LRO using UHF Data Rate: 2 Kbps LRO to Earth using Ka-band Data Rate: 100 Mbps Daedalus to LRO using Ka-Band Data Rate: 100 Mbps View Time: 1 Hour per Day (approx) Daedalus

Daedalus Structures To simulate loads experienced at landing a 8200 Newton load was applied to the foot of the leg assembly. These loads were then transferred to the chassis Results indicate the minimum Factor of Safety is 1.15

Daedalus Structures To simulate loads experienced at takeoff a Newton load was applied to the payload adapter ring Results indicate the minimum Factor of Safety is 1.3
