Polar rover mission: Preliminary concept study

As part of their development towards the deployment of an autonomous lunar rover, EPFL Xplore is looking to build and deploy a more polar-focused model in the coming years. The objective of this document is to serve as a preliminary concept study to ease the future development of a rover and its deployment in a polar environment for scientifically oriented missions. It will go through the general environmental and high-level technical requirements that the rover needs to fulfill as well as some logistical steps that need to be taken into account for the deployment and operation of the rover. This document also provides some mission and design proposals.
