Abstract JAXA has commenced technical research for contributing as a part of international partnership for the space exploration in Lunar vicinity. One of the candidates is the cargo transport mission with the combination of Cryogenic Propulsion Stage(s) (CPS) and a transfer vehicle derived from Japanese un-manned vehicle used for ISS. The CPS needs advanced technologies to keep the propellant for long mission duration and they will be useful in further missions beyond moon. This paper reports the profile of the mission, vehicle configurations, and the transport capabilities.

    Highlights Descriptions about the overall strategies and some trade-off studies were added. Figures to explain the JAXA׳s approach to such vicinity-mission were added. Wrong or insufficient wordings were corrected. 8 references were added.
