NASA’s Artemis program will have many mission phases but perhaps the most dangerous and dynamic is the powered descent and landing phase. NASA’s HLS Program has developed a candidate lunar approach concept of operations to address the needs of both hazard detection sensors and crew visibility of the landing site. The descent trajectory is shaped such that the approach phase is initiated at a steep trajectory path angle for hazard map generation then transitions to a shallow trajectory path angle to facilitate crew landing site visibility. The results show this tailored approach concept is a viable option to reduce risk during landing with minimal performance impacts.
