Design of a lightweight rover with adapted suspension for lunar exploration

Certain unexplored zones along the moon surface present a great chance for mankind to find frozen water outside the Earth, which would represent a huge discovery in the field of space exploration. Although recent efforts have been mainly put on the martian surface and its own mysteries, it is a matter of time for new missions to be launched again to the Moon’s most important geographical landmarks. Thus, in order to learn about how a project like this is set out, and after choosing a particular mission area and studying its characteristics, a lightweight rover will be designed by taking everything into account: materials, dimensions, features and a mobility system’s adaptability. The rover will be capable of carrying out several missions autonomously, and will extract valuable information and data of its surroundings thanks to the meticulously selected devices that will be implemented in it
