The future of the U.S. space program outlined by President Bush calls for a permanently manned lunar base. A payload delivery system will be required to support the buildup and operation of that lunar base. In response to this goal, RS Landers developed a conceptual design of a self-unloading, unmanned, reusable lunar lander. The lander will deliver a 7000-kg payload, with the same dimensions as a space station logistics module, from low lunar orbit (LLO) to any location on the surface of the Moon.
