Spacecraft Mass Estimation, Relationships and Engine Data: Task 1.1 of the Lunar Base Systems Study

by National Aeronautics and Space Administration

A collection of scaling equations, weight statements, scaling factors, etc., useful for doing conceptual designs of spacecraft are given. Rules of thumb and methods of calculating quantities of interest are provided. Basic relationships for conventional, and several non-conventional, propulsion systems (nuclear, solar electric and solar thermal) are included. The equations and other data were taken from a number of sources and are not at all consistent...
