Description
The project includes a series of expeditions aimed at delivery of the following payload to the Moon orbit and to its surface:
- Lunar repeater satellite
- Lunar research satellite
- Telecommunication module
- Robotic mobile modules (assembly, repair, etc.)
- Energy modules
- Stationary scientific and technological modules
- Mobile Research Laboratory Ascent rocket.
The following four types of technical equipment are proposed for the Moon base construction:
- Base vehicles aimed at the Earth-Moon, Moon-Earth and Moon surface transportations;
-
Artificial Moon satellites;
-
Lunar service modules;
-
Scientific and process modules.
The following base transport vehicles are considered:
- Insertion propulsion system for acceleration from reference near-Earth orbit;
-
Multifunctional orbital-landing platform for the delivery of technological, scientific and
service complexes to the Moon surface;
-
Multipurpose mobile lunar platform for carrying out transportation, installation, repair and
research operations on the Moon surface;
-
Ascent rocket for the Moon-to-- the Earth cargo deliveries.
The following two options of the standard orbital-landing platform are considered for the of
mobile robotic lunar complexes delivery:
- Capable of 1 lunar rover allocation based on a heavy standard multipurpose platform or
on standard technological platform with a target equipment module;
-
Capable of delivery of two lunar rovers based on a standard technological platform
without a target equipment module
