Description
The feasibility of utilizing an airship for planetary atmospheric exploration was assessed. The environmental conditions of the planets and moons within our solar system were evaluated to determine their applicability for airship flight. A station-keeping mission of 50 days in length was used as the baseline mission. Airship sizing was performed utilizing both solar power and isotope power to meet the baseline mission goal at the selected planetary location. The results show that an isotope-powered airship is feasible within the lower atmosphere of Venus and Saturn s moon Titan. Colozza, Anthony Glenn Research Center NASA/CR-2004-213345, E?14813 NAS3-00145; WBS 755-81-01 AIRSHIPS; VENUS ATMOSPHERE; SOLAR POWERED AIRCRAFT; SPACE EXPLORATION; PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES; TITAN; ISOTOPES
