Synergies between Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) & Cold Tech and Row World Landers
Synergies between Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) & Cold Tech and Row World Landers
Land a CLPS lander in permanent darkness Lunar crater to test ROW world cold tech and to collect data
Seek commonality with Row World landers
Cost engineer this! use CLPS to test Cold Tech and seek the Decadel survey science goals for the Atkinson basin lander
The idea of commonality among ROW world landers argues for a series of ARGOS type flybys of those objects in need of landing site characterizing. Ice Giants would require this but Juice should satisfy landing site characterization for Callisto and Ganymede
So two Argos Uranus & Neptune flybys to cover unseen hemispheres of ROW worlds, Enceladus LIFE or Plume sample return uses the same spacecraft bus as ARGOS
8 to 10 common ROW world landers designed for the larger ROW worlds but with an engine that can throttle down for the smaller ROW worlds
CLSP and integration of Cold tech and a COTS ROW World program.Lunar night and dark crater test program.

Mercury dark crater lander! this might have little commonality with any of the others
This slide might be wrong (Jacob Bleacher) The PPE staged with the Transfer vehicle makes for the better outer planet missions design but a hybrid system might be better
