2. Category: Functional Capability
Sub Category: Physical and Launch
- IOR-SYSR-FUNC-101 The System shall enable transportation of the Depot and Service Vehicle (SV) to the designated launch site using standard terrestrial logistics methods.
- IOR-SYSR-FUNC-102 The System shall enable propellant loading of the Depot at the launch site in accordance with applicable ground safety and handling requirements.
- IOR-SYSR-FUNC-103 The System shall ensure compliance with launch vehicle spaceflight safety requirements when integrated as a fully fueled configuration (Depot and SV).
- IOR-SYSR-FUNC-104 The System shall enable mechanical and electrical integration of the fully fueled Depot and SV with the selected Launch Vehicle.
- IOR-SYSR-FUNC-105 The System shall enable insertion of the fully integrated Depot and SV into the specified target orbit following launch.
Sub Category: IOR Capability Levels
- IOR-SYS-OPER-101 The system shall support servicing of client spacecraft equipped with a compliant and compatible refuelling interface (IOR-Enabled).
- IOR-SYS-OPER-102
The system shall support servicing of IOR-Aware client spacecraft providing operational telemetry to support RPOD and refuelling operations. - IOR-SYS-OPER-103
The system shall support servicing of IOR-Cooperative client spacecraft participating in coordinated RPOD operations.
Sub Category: RPOD and Refueling
- IOR-SYS-OPER-XXX
The system shall perform autonomous Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, Docking (RPOD), and propellant transfer operations. - IOR-SYS-OPER-XXX
The system shall perform RPOD and refuelling operations across IOR-Enabled, IOR-Aware, and IOR-Cooperative spacecraft categories.
Sub Category:Cooperative Capability Allocation
- IOR-SYS-OPER-XXX
The service vehicle shall support IOR-Cooperative operational capability. - IOR-SYS-OPER-XXX
The propellant depot shall support IOR-Cooperative operational capability. - IOR-SYS-OPER-XXX
The resupply vehicle shall support IOR-Cooperative operational capability.
Sub Category: Communications Capability
- The Depot and SV both have independent communication and navigational capabilities
System Element: Depot
- The Depot shall be able to perform two way communications with the GS
- The Depot shall be able to send Ephemeris data (state vector: position + velocity) to the GS
- The Depot receives Mission Plan (MP) on a regular cadence from GSs
- The Depot uses the MP to determine it trajectory and communication times with GSs,
System Element: SV
- SV when docked onto Depot is in deep sleep mode and does not communicate with GS.
- The SV when undocked from Depot shall be able to perform two way communications with the GS
- The SV when undocked shall be able to send Ephemeris data (state vector: position + velocity) to the GS
- The SV receives Rendezvous Plan (RP) during the Rendezvous period from the GSs
System Element: GS
- GS sends Mission Plan on a regular cadence to Depot
- GS receives Ephemeris data (state vector: position + velocity) from the Depot and uses for Mission plan calculations.
- GS receives Ephemeris data (state vector: position + velocity) from the SV and calculates the plan calculations.
3. Performance/Through put
- Depot servicing LEO shall be able to carry a minimum of 2000 Kgs of propellant to enable fewer trips
- Depot servicing GEO shall be able to carry a minimum of 5000 Kgs to account for larger GEO fuel requirements and further distance.
- Each SV fuel delivery should support at least 10Kg of delivery for LEO and at least 100 Kgs for GEO
- The total delivery time for Proximity Operations should be less than1 hour (now where does this come from, but we need a limit?)
- Total Fuel Delivery time after docking should be max 1 min/kg (again, traceability is lacking)
- The SV can make multiple trips between Depot to SV to complete delivery. The number of deliveries are not limited in system design.
4. Robustness/Availability/Sustainability
- Once deployed the IOR system should be in operations for 15 years
5. Safety – system maintains safety
6. Economic/Business
7. Regulatory compliance
