Discover how Capella has been used in Garatéa Mission, the Brazilian first attempt to send a probe to lunar orbit / surface. The Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA) is one of the top engineering Brazilian schools in advanced research in aerospace science and technology. Astrobotic provides an end-to-end safe delivery service for payloads to the Moon. On each delivery mission to the Moon, those are integrated onto a single Peregrine Lunar Lander and then launched on a commercially procured launch vehicle. Mateus Venturini has made researches about one of Garatéa’s mission and its Astrobotic lunar landing vehicle (the Peregrine Lunar Lander). The standard physical mounting interface for the payloads needs to be optimized for the specific mission profile. Discover how ITA, through the work of Mateus Venturini, used Capella to optimize all the systems of the Peregrine Lunar Lander. This webinar was driven by Mateus Venturini (from Aeronautics Institute of Technology - ITA) Aerospace Engineer by the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil, Mateus Venturini has worked at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) between the years of 2015 and 2019 in Santa Maria, RS. After that, he started his internship at the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA) in São José dos Campos, SP. During this time, Mateus started working with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) and has been doing it for almost a year now. Nowadays, Mateus works as a researcher at the ITA Space Center (CEI) while pursuing to get a Master’s Degree at ITA.

11. “The Brazil into the Moon in 2022”
• Astrobiology experiment
• ITA is involved as a
collaborator, using the
mission as a case of study
• Build Deep Space Mission
Capabilities at ITA
• Development of a robust
platform

in 2022.”
GARATÉA PROJECT
• Mission:
• “Through fantastic projects, Garatéa Mission aims to take
Brazil beyond the final frontier, ensuring that both
private and public interests benefit from the revolution in
low-cost space access.”;
• Objective:
• “Through 3 main pillars: Science, Industry and Educational
Inspiration; we want to fund a Science and Technology
Institute and become reference in space initiatives,
guaranteeing Brazilian participation in international space
economic activities and promoting science in general.”;
• Vision:
• “Taking the motto “Inspire, Educate and Build”, several
initiatives will be developed under the name Garatéa in
order to strengthen the mission and create a legacy for
future generations.”.

13. “Brazil on the Moon

GARATÉA PROJECT
•Garatéa-LS Project
•Mission Objective:
• “Transport an astrobiological payload (culture
of microorganisms) to Lunar orbit/surface and
analyze its development.”

25. LESSONS LEARNED AND CONCLUSION
•Regarding the realization of the project:
• Study and Application of MBSE on a space mission;
• Participate on a Brazilian space mission project;
• Both Personal and Professional Development.
•As for after finishing the project:
• Learning of new features from Capella, e.g., Requirements,
System-to-Subsystem Transition, PVMT and other Add-Ons;
• Understanding of how to assemble my models and diagrams
more clearly.
