A sustained human presence on the surface of the Moon and future missions to Mars require increased independence from surface crews and Earth-based mission control to operate efficiently, safely, and reliably. The number of astronauts and the availability of the surface crew to perform tasks will be limited, and extravehicular activities are burdensome and time-consuming. A balance of crewed and uncrewed surface operations will maximize crew exploration time by reducing their time dedicated to routine maintenance and support tasks. Certain sustaining activities that consume valuable crew time and preparation tasks such as staging and prepositioning equipment and materials can be performed without the crew, either before their arrival on the lunar surface or after their departure, thus improving task efficiency and mission effectiveness. This paper will define uncrewed operations and support activities and examine the functions, features, and capabilities that support sustained human and robotic surface operations. It will also discuss the extreme environmental challenges and the complexities associated with the development and operation of autonomous systems, as well as some suggested methods, techniques, and tools to overcome these challenges.
