Marshall Space Flight Center is developing a small lunar lander capable of delivering up to 300 kg of payload to the lunar surface near the North or South Pole. Originally designed as a lander for a small rover, the Lunar Pallet Lander, has seen several design iterations over the last couple of years. This paper will cover how the vehicle and mission design changed from being a co-manifested payload candidate in NASA’s Space Launch System to its current design, which could be launched with an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV), and reach a wide range of polar landing sites.
