1.1Instructions for Chapter Managers

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chapter Management! ;)
Basically, in order to pull together a first rough draft for Tuesday, I am
putting you all in charge of a chapter for Tuesday (see next section for
Chapter assignments). It is a lot of work, so make sure you ‘contract it
out’ – i.e. delegate in order to meet your deadline! If you are too busy,
delegate the Chapter Manager role to someone in your group to take
care of it – but you are still responsible for having something for
me by Tuesday, April 21, 2007.
N.B.: There is a lot to be done, so I will try to assist you as
much as possible. I have identified my general role within the
chapters as noted in the table entitled ‘Report Integration
Duties.’
N.B.-2: For SUBMISSIONS: Only send me your sections, not the entire
document!! Delete the rest.

0.3Part I: Building the Chapter Framework

1. Shawna Assembles Chapter Objectives: I will start filling in the
Chapter Objectives in list format based on the outline,
submissions and presentations you gave on Wednesday, noting
which group is doing what. It is up to you to build the chapter
synopsis around it.
Please note that within the objectives:
a. Missing content is hi-lighted in yellow;
b. New content that has been assigned to a group is
hi-lighted in turquoise
c. Redundant content is hi-lighted in pink
d. Research that has been determined to be COPY AND
PASTED is high-lighted in green. This is a huge problem
and you, as RDs, are responsible for dealing with
this. Andreea & Violetta have determined that all 4
research group submissions were heavily guilty of
this. If this is not dealt with, I am reporting the offending
parties to faculty, NO EXCEPTIONS. (note: we’ll deal with it
internally first if possible)
e. Chapter Managers: You are responsible for filling in the
gaps, meeting with the other groups to determine who will
cover the redundancy identified within your group and
‘de-plagiarizing’. Contact Shawna and let her know when
you have addressed these so she can update this
document.
2. Chapter Managers Build Chapter Synopsis: Fill in the Chapter
Synopsis in as much detail as you can. Please see the Synopsis
example that I am working on for the Introduction to see what I
want (included at the end of this document). Basically, the
synopsis is a blueprint as to the content and organization of
each chapter. Include headings if you can.
Example:
Chapter 1: Introduction - Synopsis & Objectives
Shawna fills in Objectives:
‘Within this chapter, we will state the following:
As part of this discussion, we will define the scope of our
project, stating:
29
(i) How we defined this topic, summarizing our
previous work and defending the decision to
move away from Helium-3
(ii) Justify the decision to disclude Low Lunar Orbit
and limit the discussion to the Lunar surface
(iii) Our focus is on Hydrogen, Oxygen and H2O, but
we will explore uses for by-products in later
chapters, as part of our business case.
(iv) The timeframe to which our project applies’
So whoever is in charge of this section builds the
Synopsis around these Objectives, for example:
‘This chapter is intended to “set the stage” for our report.
Specifically, it will start on the broad scope of human
lunar exploration, what it was (a space-race for glory and
national superiority, what it has become (lunar missions
driven by scientific and economic return) and how we
have evolved to the current framework (what drivers led
us there? Mention science and the emergence of private
sector interest in field). From here, we will explore the
needs of the current framework (multiple needs: e.g.
sustainable base, lunar transport, extraction process for
fuels, fuel itself), leading into a specific discussion on the
importance of transport & fuel, what research has been
conducted thus far and concluding by exposing the
existing literature gap that our report will address,
allowing us to underline the importance of meeting this
need, thereby explaining why our report is relevant and
timely…’
3. Where to Find the Content: For your reference, I compiled the
submissions you gave me this week in a single 137-paged
document. The content has been roughly ordered within
chapters according to our outline. The full outline is at the
beginning of the document while each chapter is also preceded
by the outline content for that specific chapter.
0.4Part II: Procedure for Pulling Together a

Proper Chapter
Please follow the procedure outlined below for making it a polished
product.
N.B.: When submitting to the faculty, include this list as
checklist to inform them as to the chapter’s progress, so they
know what level of feedback to give you (i.e. if you have only
completed the first 3 steps, indicate as such so they don’t
ream you for something that seems like patchwork).
1. Read the Chapter Synopsis.
2. Access the research submissions and pull together the
appropriate content to reflect the Synopsis. N.B. It is up to the
29
Chapter Manager to ensure that the content reflects this
synopsis.
3. Integrate the research material in a logical and coherent
manner, taking care to eliminate redundancies.
4. Add the essential chapter elements: Introduction, Conclusion,
transition paragraphs, discussion, etc.
5. Hi-light research gaps and changes you’d like to see in the
Chapter Synopsis and resubmit to the Report Manager and PFs,
who will review the changes and reassign gaps to the
appropriate research group.
6. Once you have a chapter that reads coherently, POLISH IT by
taking it through the edits outlined below. N.B.: Do not
attempt to carry all these edits out on your own.
Delegate these tasks out to other TP members, give them
a deadline that allows you to complete your own work on
time, and note which TP member is in charge of what.

Chapter 1: Introduction Dag &
Shawna
1.1Synopsis & Objectives

[Note to self: define headings within this chapter: Make this a broad
overview; have a diagram of where we progress; look at previous
reports’ introductions; talk about Why the Moon – the Symposium and
this is our solution – also distinguish what goes into the Student
Preface and what goes into the intro]
[Make the report direction and content clear]

This chapter is intended to “set the stage” for our report [and to what
extent the project itself?]. Specifically, it will start on the broad scope
of human lunar exploration, what it was (talk about the Cold-War era –
a space-race for glory and national superiority, what it has become
(lunar missions driven by scientific and economic return – but keep it
brief! 1-2 sentences max!) and how we have evolved to the current
framework (what drivers led us there? Mention science and the
emergence of private sector interest in field). From here, we will
explore the needs of the current framework (multiple needs: e.g.
sustainable base, lunar transport, extraction process for fuels, fuel
itself), leading into a specific discussion on the importance of transport
& fuel (and how they are necessary for ALL these activities), what
research has been conducted thus far (here we bring our mini-lit
review) and concluding by exposing the existing literature gap that our
report will address, allowing us to underline the importance of meeting
this gap, thereby explaining why our report is relevant and timely.
[N.B.: In addition to external literature, here we will also specifically
refer to past ISU design projects and wha will allow us to develop and
how other areas have been extensively covered: for example the 2000
MSS Team Project designed a lunar surface transport system entitled
“Autonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle” while the 2006 Masters’ class
extensively explored in-situ resource extraction and utilization with
“FERTILE Moon.” NOTE TO SELF, FINISH THIS.
29
This will lead us in into the discussion of what we will be specifically
addressing: facilitating ‘post-storage’ accessibility to specific
propellants necessary for lunar mobility: Hydrogen, Oxygen & H2O. As
part of this discussion, we will define the scope of our project, stating:
(i) How we defined this topic, summarizing our previous work
and defending the decision to move away from Helium-3
(ii) Justify the decision to exclude Low Lunar Orbit and limit the
discussion to the Lunar surface
(iii) Our focus is on Hydrogen, Oxygen and H2O, but we will
explore uses for by-products in later chapters, as part of our
business case.
(iv) The timeframe to which our project applies
In the next section, we will expand upon the drivers, taking into
account:
(i) The Exploration roadmaps of the major space agencies
(ii) (Note to self: Place in Chapter 2)
(iii) NOTE: When elaborating upon the plan, talk more about
Brian’s idea about analogizing to Earth gas stations….
(iv) NOTE: Look into what other reports have done for other
introductions and model this upon that

8.2Student Preface
GAS PUMP (General Architectural Structure: Procedures for Usage of Moon
Propellants): The Big Picture
During the decades of the Cold War Era, the ‘Space Race’ pushed humanity
to farther frontiers, sending the first humans beyond the confines of the
Earth, first to near-Earth space and low-Earth orbits, but eventually to the
Moon itself.
Despite the initial pride and excitement stemming from these monumental
achievements, the magnitude of these large-scale ventures proved
themselves to be unsustainable, especially without the competition of the
Cold War as a driver. As a result, the post-Cold War decades bore witness to a
significant decline in interest in ambitious human ventures, amongst the
general public and by way of resulting decreases in dedicated funding and
resources from national space agencies.
This trend has recently reversed itself as political will and public interest have
once again come together to reignite an interest in human exploration of the
Moon, this time coupled with scientific and economic drivers. For these
29
reasons, NASA, JAXA, and ROSKOSMOS, for example, have all described plans
for establishing a human presence on the Moon within the next 20 years.
Importantly, amidst these plans lies the emerging realization that these new
visions for lunar exploration necessitate pragmatic approaches and
meticulous planning if humanity is to move beyond the previous philosophy
of lunar exploration for thrill and achievement, and into an era of exploration
for scientific and economic gain.
The nature of this new exploration calls for elements necessary to sustainable
exploratory missions and eventual lunar bases, including, for example, life
support systems, communication networks, mobility methods and reliable
power sources.
The space agencies’ varied reasons for returning to the Moon and the
activities planned on-site mean that reliable transportation will be a key
element in navigating the Moon. This is a concept that is well-reviewed in the
literature in several aspects, but not so much in others. For example, the
2000 ISU design project, “Autonomous Lunar Transport Vehicle,” was
dedicated to a lunar transport system for crew and cargo, while the 2006 ISU
project, “FERTILE Moon,” explored In-Situ Resource Utilization processes for
energy and fuel usage. However, gaps still exist in this field, both within the
ISU and the external literature.
Realistically, if exploration is to be carried out on a Moon-wide scale, then

beyond the issue of simple and accessible transport systems and fuel
acquisition lies the issue of propellant accessibility: after all, fuel is of no use
if it cannot be properly stored and delivered.
The focus of the 2007 ISU design project, then, is exactly that: to design a
lunar propellant storage and distribution system that is safe, reliable, cost-
effective and efficient. The value of this project is two-fold: firstly, the
systems, designed with the utmost care by referencing the existing literature
and experts in numerous fields, provide a fuel-accessibility architecture that
will be crucial to the success of lunar exploration and mobility. Secondly, this
project resists obsolescence owing to the development of a systems selection
tool that outputs a ‘best’ system based on a comparison of existing
technologies, qualities and assumptions – hence it can be modified as
technology evolves to continue to generate the most capable and appropriate
system for what is required of it.
It is the intent of the GAS PUMP design team that this project will be of the
utmost value in supporting lunar exploration and mobility, serving as an
innovation to the future generations of lunar explorers who boldly and
brazenly dare to expand humanity’s reach beyond the Earth.
