Mission and Systems Analysis:

Making sense out of the advantages of multiple technologies for space propulsion and power generation requires expertise and advanced capabilities in mission and systems analysis. GRC capabilities include:


    • Low thrust, high thrust, and hybrid systems mission design & trajectory analysis
    • Technology trades and benefits assessments for propulsion and power systems, often including systems costs
    • System concept definition and mission architecture development and analysis


Prometheus Advanced Systems and Technology activities at GRC include analysis of propulsion and power technology options for Moon, Mars, and Beyond, as well as trade studies to support Strategy-to-Task-to-Technology trades between technology options.
