Abstract
Several unique systems including the Lunar Electric Rover, the unpressurized Chariot rover, the versatile light-weight crane and Athlete cargo transporter as well as the habitat module mockups and a new generation of spacesuits are undergoing coordinated tests at NASA’s facility for Desert Research and Test Studies (D-RATS). A synergetic plan is proposed for utilizing these maturing systems coupled with a fabrication technology called Contour Crafting, tailored for swift and reliable lunar infrastructure development. The intent is to increase astronaut safety, improve buildup performance, ameliorate lunar dust interference and concerns, and reduce time-to-commission, all in an economic manner.
