EAS4700 Capstone senior Design Poster Presentations:
April 15th, 2022; 6:00 – 8:00PM
Our project this semester is to design an Suborbital Lunar Transport System. The purpose of the SLT is to provide robust support of the extended exploration of Earth’s satellite the Moon. The SLT is intended to be an evolvable reusable and multi functioned vehicle capable of delivering 200 Kg payloads up to 300 Km from a permanent crewed station at Shackleton Crater (Shackleton Crater Station) at the Lunar South Pole to exploration crews at forward bases of operation who may require emergency supplies or replacement hardware. It also has the capability to deliver and recover scientific rovers to and from sites of interest on the lunar surface. The baseline SLT is intended to be semi-autonomous / tele-operated by crews at Shackleton Crater Station, the lunar Gateway station or Earth. Further detail on the competition, design expectations and project deliverables can be found in the Spring 2022 EAS4700 Project Requirements.
