Dynetics Completes Human Landing System's PDR

Outcome confirms team is ready to enter the critical design phase

Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, has successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the Dynetics Human Landing System (HLS) for NASA's Artemis Program, marking another critical milestone in human spaceflight. This review provided NASA with insight into the design of the human lander that Dynetics hopes will carry the first woman and the next man to the Moon.

"This review, a culmination of nine months of intense design and analysis, included a robust portfolio of development and risk reduction testing," said Robert Wright, Dynetics HLS program manager. "The PDR demonstrated that our team's preliminary lander design meets all the system requirements with acceptable risk while remaining within current cost and schedule constraints."

Additionally, the team presented detailed technical descriptions of design trades, analyses conducted, and a design status to NASA. Verification methods were also explained.

"This is another step toward the lunar surface," said Kim Doering, vice president of Space Systems at Dynetics. "The PDR confirmed that our team is ready to proceed with a detailed design as we approach the next milestone, Critical Design Review. This is yet another notable review that brings us one step closer to landing the next Americans on the moon."
