An overview is presented of a conceptual study of a lunar revolving satellite whose missions are to conduct the following: topographical, geological, and crust explorations of the moon; water resource explorations at lunar polar region; and a lunar surface landing experiment. The study was conducted for two cases: a two ton observation satellite and an observation satellite plus landing experiment vehicle. It was concluded that transfer to a development phase was feasible in both cases. The topics covered include the following: mission study; mission analysis, system study, and analysis of lunar revolving observation satellite; subsystem study of lunar revolving observation satellite; study, analysis, and subsystem study of landing experiment system; and study of the development program.
