Integrating advanced mobility into lunar surface exploration

► Introduction to modeling and simulation tool, “MOONBASE” developed at IRS. ► Modeling of the lunar topographic surface based on Kaguya-LALT data. ► Polar maps of solar illumination, accessibility (slopes) and Earth. ► Assessment of the mobility systems of the ISECG Lunar Reference. ► Assessment of a polar 240km-traverse from Shackleton crater to Malapert Mountain.
