Kalam Rover

• Our knowledge about the formation and feasibility for the near-future manned mission of the lunar farside highlands is still restricted since relatively few missions and research studies have been conducted. However, there are many interesting particulars on the far side, and finding sufficient evidence for practically accessible water ice near those land sites can potentially increase the prospect for future human colonization. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel rover design that would provide a base foundation for future human missions and lunar outposts. A small, lightweight, and low-power consuming rover have been developed, designed, and analyzed to perform in-situ research and excavation on the lunar far side. This paper put forward the scientific objectives, the payloads on the rover, the design of the rover with integrated excavation drill mechanism, the telemetry & telecommand, the technology, and the power and mass budget of building such a lunar rover.
