System Technology for Improving the Performance of Manned Lunar Exploration

Manned lunar exploration missions require thousands of tons of launch vehicles to deliver astronauts and a small number of payloads to the lunar surface. To improve the system performance of manned lunar exploration missions, an analysis is conducted at the system level, including the design concepts, design methods, model optimization, and data correction. The proposed technologies include probability-based systems design, integrated design of spacecraft and launch vehicle, optimization design based on digital models, and system performance improvement based on measured data correction. Based on the practice of the systems design of manned lunar exploration missions, the application effects of these technologies are summarized, and the direction for future research is pointed out. These technologies play an important role in improving the system performance of manned lunar exploration and maximizing the efficiency.
