Construction of manned lunar surface sites by robots
Abstract
Manned lunar surface site is the smallest manned system for staying, constructed on lunar surface prior to constructing permanent lunar bases with minimum function. This report describes the results of reviews on initial construction, system setting up, and lunar surface operation robots required most critically for those activities. Functional requirements for manned lunar surface sites are described. Lunar surface site construction by robots are outlined. System structure, weight and electric power balances, and construction flow are also outlined.
