Technology of Lunar Exploration
AIAA Journal, 1963Progress in Astronautics and Rocketry, Volume 10: Technology of Lunar Exploration is an overview of the technical base of the lunar exploration problem. This volume is organized into six sections encompassing 35 that follow the various stages of accomplishment of a lunar mission, involving landing on or orbiting the moon and returning to the earth. The

Robotics for lunar surface exploration
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 1998Abstract The robotic payload suite (including robotics for mobility and for manipulation) studied by ESA for a potential Moon landing mission is used here as a practical example, for the analysis of system-level issues. Mission and system requirements dictate lunar robotics design in terms of functions and operations, and of constraints (in terms of ...

Hopping transporters for lunar exploration
5th Annual Meeting and Technical Display, 1968Proposed manned lunar roving and flying mobility systems are severely limited in speed and/or pay load capabilities. Recently, a hopping transporter design concept was introduced which could offer conservative use of fuel and high average speed. As a first step toward practical application of such devices, an investigation of feasibility, with respect ...

Cryogenics for lunar exploration
Cryogenics, 2006As part of the refocusing of NASA from Space Station research to exploration research, we are pursuing a number of proposed and funded projects for lunar exploration using cryogenic techniques. This paper gives a summary of these projects which include: (1) Using passive radiative cooling for separation and storage of volatiles from lunar regolith; (2)

LUNARES: lunar crater exploration with heterogeneous multi robot systems
Intelligent Service Robotics, 2010The LUNARES (Lunar Crater Exploration Scenario) project emulates the retrieval of a scientific sample from within a permanently shadowed lunar crater by means of a heterogeneous robotic system. For the accomplished earth demonstration scenario, the Shakelton crater at the lunar south pole is taken as reference. In the areas of permanent darkness within

A great deal of knowledge about the Moon already has been obtained from earth-based laboratory studies and telescopic observations. NASA's spacecraft investigations of the Moon were initiated by the Ranger spacecraft, designed to furnish close-up pictures of the lunar surface. Ranger will be followed by the Lunar Orbiter and the Surveyor.

Volatiles refer to low-boiling-point elements and compounds, such as noble gases, N2, H2O, H2S, NH3, CO2, etc. It is widely accepted that the lunar interior contains very few volatiles. However, due to billions of years of asteroid/comet impacts and solar wind implantation, volatiles exist on the lunar surface, though their abundance remains unknown ...

LUMIO: An Autonomous CubeSat for Lunar Exploration
2019The Lunar Meteoroid Impact Observer (LUMIO) is one of the four projects selected within ESA’s SysNova competition to develop a small satellite for scientific and technology demonstration purposes to be deployed by a mothership around the Moon. The mission utilizes a 12U form-factor CubeSat which carries the LUMIO-Cam, an optical instrument capable of ...
