4-1.Developing small exploratory robots adapted to the lunar environment based on exploration plans

We will determine the specifications of exploration systems in line with lunar mission plans, design those systems and conduct space environmental testing, and produce exploration systems that can be used in lunar missions.

The exploration systems will be made up of insertion capsules (containers) and the small exploration robots stowed within them. These will be loaded into the lander one capsule at a time. Capsules placed on the lunar surface will deploy their payloads within a lava dome, and after releasing robots, will function as communication relay stations with the outside.
