Abstract

The article analyzes and develops new domestic engineering developments of concepts for the creation of lunar bases and vehicles for their construction and operation. The concept of intelligent mobile platforms (IMP) is proposed, which are unified self-propelled chassis with automatic docking and coupling devices (ADCD) and local navigation subsystems. The IMP self-propelled chassis is equipped with various attachments that determine the purpose and technological characteristics of the vehicle. Such vehicles can be used both as independent lunar rovers with hybrid control and as links in a multifunctional lunar train designed for special operations, including long-distance expeditions of hundreds of kilometers. Based on the NASA-published Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images, a possible expedition route has been mapped from the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) location in the Malapert massif region to the far side of the Moon, taking into account illumination levels and terrain elevation angles along the entire route. The expedition’s objective is to conduct scientific research along the route, deliver equipment, and deploy an automated ILRS branch—a lunar observatory on the far side of the Moon in the radio-quiet shadow from Earth. Based on theoretical calculations and design-layout development, a preliminary design has been completed, including the IMP technical configuration and its main performance characteristics.

国际科学月球站智能移动平台概念的发展

文章分析和发展了国内在月球基地建设概念和月球基地建设运行车辆方面的最新工程进展。提出了具有自动对接耦合装置（ADCD）的统一自走底盘和局部导航子系统的智能移动平台的概念。IMP自行式底盘配备了各种附件，这些附件决定了车辆的用途和技术特性。这种车辆既可以作为独立的月球车使用混合控制，也可以作为多功能月球列车的连接件，用于特殊行动，包括数百公里的长途探险。根据美国宇航局公布的月球侦察轨道器相机图像，考虑到整个路线的照明水平和地形高程角度，从马拉伯特地块地区的国际月球研究站（ILRS）到月球背面绘制了一条可能的探险路线。这次探险的目标是沿着路线进行科学研究，运送设备，并部署一个自动化的ILRS分支——一个位于月球远端的月球观测站，在地球的无线电静音阴影中。在理论计算和设计布置图编制的基础上，完成了初步设计，包括IMP的技术结构和主要性能特点。

期刊介绍： Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
