Lunar Architecture Team (LAT)Lunar Architecture Team (LAT)
• The Vision told us what we had to do, and when, but…………
• We needed to better define why we are going there, what we are going to do when we get there, or how we will get there.
• For the ‘Why’ and ‘What’, a Synthesis Team was formed to develop a consensus from the Science community, from IP interests, and from Commercial interests (~180 Objectives).
• For the ‘How’, a multi-center, cross disciplinary, Lunar Architecture Team (LAT) was formed in Summer of ’06 to draft a plan that would support prioritized list of objectives. First phase completed in December ’06
• Phase 2 of LAT began in January ’07, for completion in Summer ’07. Goal is to refine a Point of Departure architecture to facilitate open discussions with potential partners and collaborators.

2007 Mars Study Objectives / Products2007 Mars Study Objectives / Products
Develop integrated program strategies and decision timelines for different assumed launch dates.
Includes:
• Updating NASA’s human Mars mission reference architecture, that defines:– Long term goals and objectives for human exploration missions– Flight and surface systems for human missions and supporting infrastructure
• Integrate the current Constellation elements, as well as other Mars elements which have been updated since DRM 3.0, 4.0 and ESAS, to document the Mars DRM 5.0.
• Update and incorporate Mars surface reference mission into DRM 5.0• Schedule and definition of supporting development activities
– An operational concept– Key challenges including risk and cost drivers– Development schedule options
• Developing a plan for reducing the cost/risk of human Mars missions through investment in research, technology development and synergy with other exploration plans, including:– Robotic Mars missions– Cis-lunar activities – ISS activities– Earth-based activity, including analog sites, laboratory studies, and computer simulations– Additional research and technology development investment
• Assessing strategic linkages between lunar and Mars strategies.
