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 ...

Surface Properties of Lunar Samples
Science, 1970Fine-grained samples disrupted after exposure to oxygen and oxygen with 3.5 percent water above 2 torr. Chemical etching revealed plastic deformation in some samples, adhesion due to impact melting in others, dislocations in crystalline phases and evidence that some glasses were partially devitrified.

Assessment of lunar surface materials
2015 7th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST), 2015Lunar exploration is very important in the world. Investigation of lunar surface materials such as Agglutinitic Glass (A), Morris Is/FeO (M), LSCC Is/FeO (L), Total Pyx (T) and Plagioclase (P) is increase last years. The prediction of lunar surface materials including A, M, L, T and P is significant. In this study, the A (one of the important materials

Gas Analysis of the Lunar Surface
Science, 1970The rare gas analysis of the lunar surface has lead to important conclusions concerning the moon. The large amounts of rare gases found in the lunar soil and breccia indicate that the solar atmosphere is trapped in the lunar soil as no other source of such large amounts of gas is known.

The Moon is the most remarkable object in the nighttime sky. It is, of course, much smaller and less impressive in absolute dimensions than planets such as Mars and Jupiter and is hardly worthy of mentioning in the same sentence as a galaxy. But the Moon is more visibly interesting to a person on Earth with eyes, binoculars, or telescope than any other

Chondritic Meteorites and the Lunar Surface
Science, 1967The landing dynamics of and soil penetration by Surveyor I indicated that the lunar soil has a porosity in the range 0.35 to 0.45. Experiments with Surveyor III's surface sampler for soil mechanics show that the lunar soil is approximately incompressible (as the word is used in soil mechanics) and that it has an angle of internal friction of 35 to 37 ...

Humanoids for lunar and planetary surface operations
5th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, 2005., 2006This paper presents a vision of humanoid robots as human's key partners in future space exploration, in particular for construction, maintenance/repair and operation of lunar/planetary habitats, bases and settlements. It integrates this vision with the recent plans for human and robotic exploration, aligning a set of milestones for operational ...

The adverse environment of the lunar surface requires the implementation of unique land vehicle navigation techniques, concepts, and components to perform postulated future lunar surface navigation functions. Subject to the lunar environmental constraints, three generalized lunar surface navigation concepts are modeled and analyzed.

A Lunar Surface Operations Simulator
2008The Lunar Surface Operations Simulator (LSOS) is being developed to support planning and design of space missions to return astronauts to the moon. Vehicles, habitats, dynamic and physical processes and related environment systems are modeled and simulated in LSOS to assist in the visualization and design optimization of systems for lunar surface ...
