The autonomous lunar precursor mission presently proposed for low cost manned revisits to the lunar surface, designated 'Lunar Oasis by Automation and Robotics', employs two self-similar robotic vehicles, and three experimental 'biovolumes' which are directly derived from the lunar landers that are initially entrusted with fulfilling mission hardware-delivery requirements. The two vehicles would support the experimental biovolumes by returning resources for use in physicochemical or biological processing. Delivered resources would be combined with those in situ to furnish reconfigured biovolumes with the capabilities for autonomous biological growth and wastes-reprocessing demonstrations.
