Initial vehicles destined for the moon as part of the Human Landing Systems have tight requirements in terms of autonomous precision landing. This results in complex multi-element sensor suites and complex onboard fault redundancy approach. As additional infrastructure is placed into cislunar space, these requirements for onboard systems can be relaxed by relying on system-level observations. This paper provides results of studies supporting Human Landing Risk assessments identifying sensitivities to onboard sensor performance and describes options to support the architectural using a variety of infrastructure approaches. The results are applied to lunar cruise, ascent, and descent scenarios.
