As part of NASA’s lunar exploration Artemis program, the agency is designing a Gateway to orbit near the moon and provide long term support of a sustained lunar presence at the moon’s south pole. The first element launched for the Gateway is the Co-Manifested Vehicle (CMV), comprised of the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Lunar Outpost (HALO). The PPE Mission Design team of McGuire & et. al (2021) has developed a Design Reference Mission (DRM) trajectory for CMV’s Earth Orbit Raising (EOR) mission phase, which provides the vehicle’s 3 degrees of freedom (DoF) trajectory information during the approximately yearlong spiral out from low Earth orbit and into the lunar near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO). In tandem, the PPE GN&C team is developing a high-fidelity and fine temporal resolution 6DoF model of the CMV spacecraft’s GN&C performance for delivery to the Gateway team; this work acts to bridge the gap between Mission Design's 3DoF reference and GN&C’s detailed attitude simulation.
