• Program Vision• A world renowned laboratory in space enabling discoveries

in science and technology that benefit life on Earth and exploration of the universe.

• Program Mission• To advance science and technology research, expand

human knowledge, inspire and educate the next generation, foster the commercial development of space and demonstrate capabilities to enable future exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit.

International Space Station Program

10

• Commercial Resupply Services are critical to the execution of the ISS Program to provide crew supplies and research payloads to the ISS• MUST fly on-time• MUST provide flexibility for cargo manifesting• MUST be reliable

• Combination of upmass, volume and number of flights per year is critical to the success of the ISS program

• Research requirements to perform high quality science and technology development drive unique capabilities for the resupply service vehicles• These are critical for ISS to be a platform for discovery that will

improve life on Earth and allow us to explore beyond low Earth orbit

• External dependencies required to provide the service can limit the robustness of a solution • Political, social, economic or environmental impacts or events

that constrain the ability to meet these needs will be carefully evaluated for risk reduction approaches

Technical Overview (Current and Proposed Contract)

Marybeth Edeen, PDT Chair

23

• Provide services for delivery of pressurized and unpressurized cargo to ISS and return or disposal of pressurized cargo and disposal of unpressurized cargo.

Current Contract

24

• ISS requires delivery of pressurized and unpressurized cargo, return and disposal of pressurized cargo, disposal of unpressurized cargo, and ground support services for the end-to-end resupply mission.

Proposed ContractAnticipated Requirements (1 of 7)

25

Delivery of 14,250 to 16,750 kilograms (kg) per year of pressurized cargo.•Typical cargo characteristics are provided in SSP 50833, Rev A. The accommodation of the highest number of cargo types described in the document is sought. •The typical volume of the mass of cargo quoted above is 55 to 70 cubic meters (m3) which must be accommodated. •The following items are included in the total upmass number but are large or unique items which may require special consideration.

• Delivery of 16-20 M01 bags per year.• Delivery of 32-40 M02 bags per year.• Delivery of 8-10 M03 bags per year.• Delivery of potable water for transfer to ISS.


26

The following items are included in the total upmass number but require additional support from the service provider which must be accommodated. All of these items require a launch minus 24 hour (L-24h) late load capability. •Delivery of 24-30 powered lockers per year. These lockers include but are not limited to freezers and animal transport units. Each locker requires continuous power of 55 to 120 watts at 28 volts, cooling and two-way communications services. Data services including continuous telemetry of pressurized cargo environments (loads, acoustics, pressure, temperature, partial pressure O2, partial pressure CO2, etc.) are required during pre-launch, launch, free flight and return phases of the mission. Provide for the recording and dump of Loss of Signal (LOS) data. •Delivery of 24-30 conditioned stowage bags per year. •Delivery of 20-25 Cargo Transfer Bag Equivalents (CTBEs) of passive (non-powered) cargo per year.


27

Delivery of 1,500 to 4,000 kg per year of unpressurized cargo comprised of 3 to 8 total items per year.

• Standard unpressurized payloads would make use of the Flight Releasable Attachment Mechanism (FRAM) interface or the JAXA Experiment Module-External Facility (JEM-EF) interface. Occasionally, on the order of 1 to 5 times over the life of the contract, the service provider will be required to provide unique Flight Support Equipment (FSE) to accommodate non-standard payloads in terms of size and mass. The weight of the FSE is included in the cargo mass above.

• Each unpressurized item requires continuous power of up to 250 watts at 28 volts and two-way communications services. Data services including continuous telemetry of unpressurized cargo environments (loads, acoustics, pressure, temperature, etc.) are required during launch and free flight phases of the mission.

• Spacecraft induced contamination on the unpressurized cargo is required to be less than 130 Angstroms per year.

• The ability to access unpressurized cargo at L-24h is required to allow for removal of optics covers and similar items.

• The ability to accommodate gaseous purges for unpressurized payloads as a non-standard service is required.


28

Return/disposal of up to 14,250 to 16,750 kg per year of pressurized cargo. This requirement is typically driven by volume limitations. It is not NASA’s intent to drive the size of the spacecraft return capability greater than the upmass requirement dictates.•Typical cargo characteristics are provided in SSP 50833, Rev A. The accommodation of the highest number of cargo types described in the document is sought. •The typical volume of the mass of cargo quoted above is 70 to 90 m3 because on orbit packing is less efficient than ground packing. •The following items are included in the total return/disposal capability required but are large or unique items which may require special consideration.

• Return/disposal of 16-20 M01 bags per year.• Return/disposal of 32-40 M02 bags per year.• Return/disposal of 8-10 M03 bags per year.• Disposal of urine or urine brine.

•The following items are part of the total return capability required but require additional support from the service provider.

• Return of 24-30 powered lockers per year. The same power and data services as described above are required for the return flight.

• Return of 24-30 conditioned stowage bags per year. • Return of 20-25 CTBEs of passive cargo per year.


29

Disposal of 1,500 to 4,000 kg per year of unpressurized cargo comprised of 3 to 8 total items per year. •Standard unpressurized cargo for disposal would make use of the Flight Releasable Attachment Mechanism (FRAM) interface or the JAXA Experiment Module-External Facility (JEM-EF) interface. Occasionally, on the order of 1 to 5 times over the life of the contract, the service provider will be required to support the disposal of non-standard payloads in terms of size and mass and unique flight support equipment may be required. The weight of the FSE is included in the cargo mass above.

Proposed Contract Anticipated Requirements (6 of 7)

30

Ground support services will be required for the end-to-end ISS resupply mission. •Standard services must be provided at the launch and landing sites for payloads and cargo processing. These could include off-line laboratories appropriate for support of life sciences and other research. NASA has appropriate laboratories which it maintains at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) which will be made available if KSC is used as the launch or landing site. •Standard ground support equipment required to maintain, protect, and load pressurized and unpressurized cargo. •The service provider shall provide their own operations control center needed for launch and on-orbit operations.


31

The following section describes the preferred operations concept for the cargo services as a part of the overall ISS program.

Operational Concept Envisioned for the Service (1 of 4)

32

Services are required to be provided in 4 to 5 missions per year and the capabilities described previously are required to be distributed across the year. The following dates are the ideal dates based on other ISS vehicle traffic, crew rotations, beta cut-outs and research timelines. •For 4 missions per year, missions are requested to launch in the following windows:

• January 16-31• April 16-30• June 16-30• October 1-15• For 5 missions per year, missions are requested to launch as above with the addition

of a flight in the August 8-21 timeframe.

•NASA has a strong preference for use of existing launch facilities. •Mission mated capability must be 45 to 75 days.•A Launch on Need (LON) capability is required within 2 months of the previous flight.


33

ISS interfaces•ISS interfaces are provided in SSP 50808, Rev. E, International Space Station to Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Interface Requirements Document.•ISS will maintain the capability to support a berthing and a docking capability as physical interfaces to the ISS. Service providers must be compatible with both prime and backup attachment ports. Berthing will be to a Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM). Docking will be to the new ISS Docking Adapter (IDA). If providers propose utilizing a docking capability to provide the cargo services, the provider should include a description and schedule associated with incorporating a docking system into their design. NASA prefers cargo vehicles to berth since some cargo items are larger than what can be accommodated through the docking adapter, for instance an M03 bag. If docking is proposed, the providers should consider methods of transferring cargo through the docking adapter. •Service providers will include the systems necessary to conduct rendezvous and proximity operations to the ISS and to support on-orbit attached operations. The provider shall use the Common Communications for Visiting Vehicles (C2V2) as the communication system to the ISS.


34

Cargo delivery, loading, transfer, return packing, and unloading concept of operations•Cargo delivery and loading schedule

• 50% of the cargo will be provided for loading at Launch minus 30 days (L-30d). • 30% of the cargo will be provided for loading at L-7d.• The remaining 20% of the cargo (including the powered lockers, conditioned stowage, and passive cargo

described above) will be provided for loading at L-24h to L-48h. • The ability to remove or replace the powered lockers, conditioned stowage and passive cargo loaded at L-24

hours within a 24 hour launch scrub turnaround is required. • Designs which minimize the need for use of packing materials to meet a pre-defined configuration (such as

rectangular bags) are preferred.

•Cargo transfer concept of operations• Cargo which was loaded at L-24 hours shall be able to be transferred to ISS within 96 hours of the L-24 hour

handover. • Creative methods of packing, unloading and repacking should be considered to efficiently use on board crew

time. • End-to-end transfer of unpressurized cargo shall be accomplished with ISS robotics systems. Extra-Vehicular

Activity (EVA) shall not be required.

•Cargo return packing/unloading schedule• Cargo for return or disposal will be loaded as it is available on orbit.• The powered lockers, conditioned stowage and passive cargo will be loaded on orbit at undock minus 24 to 48

hours. • Post-landing, returned cargo designated as critical (which will be approximately 20% of the cargo and will include

most of the powered lockers, conditioned stowage and passive cargo) should be turned over within 6 hours of landing. Capabilities must exist to maintain spacecraft support services to the cargo until turnover to NASA.

• The remaining cargo must be returned within 2 weeks.


35

• Clauses or requirements like DRDs to reduce or eliminate?• Changes to NASA insight and oversight?• How does our limitation on number of flights per year impact your

service capabilities understanding we want somewhat evenly distributed capability throughout the year?

• Which of the capabilities we are requesting adds significant complexity and which are simple “after market kits”?

• Does anything in the operational concept drive cost that we may need to do differently?
