Lunar Exploration Transportation System (LETS) - Team Frankenstein Final Review Presentation

The Team Frankenstein's final review presentation for the Lunar Exploration Transportation System (LETS) focuses on the design and operational aspects of their proposal for lunar exploration. The presentation, led by team leader Matt Isbell, covers critical areas such as Guidance Navigation and Control (GN&C), power systems, payload communications, and structural design. Key team members, representing The University of Alabama in Huntsville and Southern University, outline their innovative solutions, including the Cyclops descent vehicle and sample return mechanisms for effective lunar exploration.

  6. The Need

  7. The Requirements

  8. The Solution 1) Attached to the attitude control system, Cyclops starts descent 2) Penetrators are dispersed into Shackleton Crater 3-4) Cyclops continues descent 5) Cyclops lands outside Shackleton Crater • Attitude control system detaches from Cyclops 7) Cyclops drops off single site box, receives data from the penetrators, then begins to rove
