The lightweight lander will deliver research equipment or a lightweight lunar rover to the surface of the Moon and carry out the lunar surface research at a landing site.

The lander can deliver a 50-kg payload to the lunar surface and transmit information received by the research equipment on Earth.

The lunar lander is based on the RD840 main engine.

The lander will be operational on the lunar surface for no less than 14 days.

The flying lunar lander designed by Yuzhnoye State Design Office will be used for commercial operation and research of the lunar surface at several sites in a single expedition.

The Mayak-SH5 and Mayak-SH7 space launch systems are designed for lifting the large-size spacecraft and components of orbital infrastructure, including those of lunar transportation systems, to near-earth orbits.

Burning liquid oxygen and kerosene, the Mayak-SH5 and Mayak-SH7 launch vehicles have serial staging and the design of the Mayak-S3.9 medium-lift launch vehicle enhanced with, respectively, 4 and 6 boosters whose structure is derived from the first stage of Mayak-S3.9. If necessary, these launch vehicles can have a booster for ascending directly to the trajectories towards the Moon and Mars, or a space tug for getting to lunar and near-Mars orbits.

The Mayak-SH5 and Mayak-SH7 launch vehicles operate the RD815 propulsion system in the first stage and the RD872 propulsion system in the second stage, both propulsion systems being developed by Yuzhnoye.

The launch vehicles have a payload fairing 6.2 m in diameter and 25 m long, made of a carbon fiber reinforced polymers. If required, a larger payload fairing can be provided.

The boost stage accelerates the transportation system up to the speed required to reach the Moon. The boost stage is based on two RD809K engines.

The lunar boost tug (LBT) corrects the trajectory and supports entry into lunar orbit. The tug is based on the RD861K engine.

The landing platform will deliver the Lunar Base components (unmanned mission configuration) and the lunar cockpit (manned mission configuration) from a lunar circular orbit to the lunar surface, ensuring their soft landing.

The delivery transport is designed for periodic delivery to the Lunar Base of consumable supplies, equipment, tools, and spare parts, that is, everything that will be required but cannot be obtained from local resources.

Also, the transport can supply cargo from lunar orbit for landing expeditions in the desired areas (not related to the activities of the Lunar Base personnel).
The transport will be derived from the universal module using its body, antiradiation and antimeteor protection, and service systems. This standardization will reduce the cost of the transport development and building.

The transport will be delivered to the Moon by the heavy lunar lander.

The universal (residential and airlock) module will support the astronauts’ stay on the Moon and their work on the lunar surface, including while building the Base or participating in non-related expeditions.

Arriving on the Moon in a manned spacecraft, switching to the universal module and staying in it for a sufficiently long time (at least a month), the astronauts could make a sufficient number of exits to the lunar surface to conduct scientific research or build the Lunar Base.

The module has two tiers (floors). The ground floor accommodates an airlock, airlock equipment, supplies for exits to the lunar surface, service equipment and systems. The top floor houses the residential compartment, service equipment and systems, supplies for the crew during their stay on the Moon, and other systems.

The module is delivered to the Moon by the heavy lunar lander.

The self-propelled modular platform (SMP) is a basic transport vehicle with attached implements to support cargo transportation, as well as construction, assembly, installation and handling work on the surface of various celestial bodies (Moon, Mars, Earth …).

The advantage of building the transportation system based on the self-propelled modular platform equipped with replaceable functional equipment lies in the capability to meet a wider range of challenges with a smaller number of transport vehicles, increasing the intensity and efficiency of using each vehicle. Building the SMP from universal basic modules allows changing the vehicle characteristics within a wide range, ensuring redundancy of the principal functions and systems.

The self-propelled modular platform with an increased carrying capacity is a structure assembled from rigidly interconnected standardized modules, which provides a capability to change the configuration in terms of the number of modules depending on the cargo.

The robocar is a concept of equipment and a method of handling and soil excavation on the lunar surface, which allows performing this work to support research, production, geological exploration and tourism in the context of the Lunar Base.

The basis for handling and soil excavation equipment is a two-wheeled single-axle trolley with vertical lifters, automatic docking devices and manipulators (i.e. a robocar).

Together with selected support equipment (device), a pair of robocars forms an articulated mobile device, easily adaptable to a local terrain profile and capable of moving along an inclined surface and, if required, improving its cross-country capacity.

Handling and soil excavation performed according to the analyzed concept of equipment and method of implementation can significantly reduce the weight of equipment delivered to the Moon, labor intensity, time and cost of the work.

Handling and soil excavation equipment designed to operate in the vicinity of the Lunar Base can support the following basic operations:

•  Moving at a specified speed
•  Offloading, transportation, tilting and installation of bulky and large-tonnage cargo delivered by the landing platform
•  Delivery of the landing platform to the storage or processing site
•  Lifting, lowering and moving of small cargos
•  Operations with a mechanical manipulator.

The solar power plant (SPP) will provide power to the Lunar Base. The SPP is a source of electric power generated by direct conversion of solar energy.
