Acolytion\u2019s Progspexion is utilized for modeling and simulation of the DRA in determination of potential mission outcomes and computation of crewed mission to Mars metrics. While establishing a baseline performance, the research determines the DRA\u2019s mission utility is limited due to a lack of its consideration during design. In addition, the research indicates the DRA simultaneously contains an overwhelming number of single points of failure with high criticality and lacks an adequate hierarchy\u00a0of contingency and abort strategies to preclude loss of mission and crew fatality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Keywords:<\/em> Design Reference Architecture; Mission Utility Analysis; Human Spaceflight; Mars Exploration; Space Mission Simulation; Progspexion<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"831\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA.png 831w, https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA-768x624.png 768w, https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA-431x350.png 431w, https:\/\/sciengresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DRA-150x122.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/johnson\/images\/content\/606171main_04_Mars%20Mission%20Profile_C.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 June 2018 SciEng Research&#8217;s\u00a0Benchmarking the Human Exploration of Mars Design Reference Architecture accepted for publication in the International Journal of Space Science and Engineering.
