Tall towers enable a wide-ranging set of capabilities on the lunar surface including communication, navigation, surveillance, power generation, and more. The Tall Lunar Tower project at NASA Langley Research Center is focused on the design, modeling, fabrication, and testing of an engineering development unit to assemble a tall tower through supervised autonomous operations. In this paper, the software design for the supervised autonomous assembly of a tall lunar tower is presented. The paper includes a high-level description of the concept of operations, the agents, and an overview of the software architecture.
