Conception of lunar surface mobility and operation platform
Considering strategic value, in-depth developments have been carried out worldwide for lunar exploration. Among all detection programs, the lunar surface mobility and operation platform is regarded as one of the most important lunar facilities. With the lunar surface mobility and operation platform, humans can innovate lunar surface researching modes, improve lunar scientific exploration breadth and efficiency, thereby significantly enhancing the ability to understand and utilize the moon. Thus, China can own more innovative manned lunar exploration models. This article analyzes tasks and requirements of the lunar surface mobility and operation platform, demonstrates the overall configuration, and proposes an overall platform solution suitable for the complex lunar surface environment.
