Living Small

Minimal, reconfigurable, flexible

The MLSS study is aimed to develop conceptual design options for a Lunar Terrain Vehicle (Rover) and a Small Lunar Habitat that potentially become a part of an overall Lunar Surface Systems Study. The goal of this work was to provide comprehensive design concept evaluations and derived from them recommendations. Such recommendations were to be based on the space architecture strategy of designing all surface elements interconnected with each other’s objectives and requirements.

The six-month lunar surface systems study was sponsored by The Boeing Company and conducted at Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture This project is the results of the study and outlines the next steps for developing a comprehensive research plan for lunar infrastructure construction for a shortduration mission (14 days) in the vicinity of the Shackleton crater.
