Innovative Design of Lunar Lander Gear for Cube-Satellite Missions

This project focuses on designing and building a lightweight lunar landing gear and latching device for a small cube-satellite. The landing gear will deploy once and not retract, ensuring reliable landing on lunar surfaces. A specialized latch will securely hold the lunar lander section to the satellite body and also release without retraction. Additionally, a dedicated testing apparatus will evaluate both components' performance, allowing them to operate autonomously. The project aims for efficiency and effectiveness in lunar exploration missions.

  1. Lunar Lander Project Patrick Thurston and David Cobler

  2. Problem • Design and build Lunar Landing gear for a small cube-satellite. • Design and build latching device to hold the lunar Lander section to the main body. • Design and build a testing apparatus for the landing gear.

  3. Solution • Landing gear will be designed to deploy once with no ability to retract. • Cube-satellite latch will be designed to release once with no ability to retract. • Testing apparatus will be designed to release and retract the landing gear repeatedly. • Testing apparatus for the latch will be designed to release and retract repeatedly.

  4. Technical Details • Both the landing gear and the latch will be made of lightweight composites and alloys. • Landing gear will be hinged and spring loaded. • Testing apparatus will be able to run autonomously.

  5. Budget • Final details and distribution of funds have not been allocated.
