An overview of the missions, systems, and subsystems of a lunar rover module, to be launched by the H-2 launch vehicle, is presented. The following topics are discussed: environmental measurement; geological survey of regolith; ground and underground structure surveys; an example of the mission model; the weight and electric power allotments; mission profiles; sequence of events of the landing module; navigation and guidance control; propulsion; thermal control; structure subsystems; landing orbit optimization through the Pontryagin's maximum principle; and an analysis of LH2 evaporation.
