Manned lunar surface sites for manned missions, and lunar landing modules and roving vehicles for unmanned missions are reviewed. System requirements for lunar surface sites and their system structures are presented. Prerequisites and mission review results, landing orbits, thruster thrust, necessary delta V, and weight and electric power balances of the landing module are presented. The research and development elements for lunar landing modules are: (1) landing guidance technology; (2) development of landing gears; and (3) propulsion systems for landing. The missions, system review results, operation methods, and operation concepts of lunar roving vehicles are indicated. Research and development elements for lunar roving vehicles are: (1) running system (including wheels); (2) remote operation; and (3) autonomous driving technology.
