Lunar Trailblazer is a NASA SIMPLEx mission scheduled for launch in late 2024. The mission's goal is to continue the search for water in its various forms on the Moon and to explore how temperature fluctuations impact it. The Mission Operations System and Ground Data Systems (MOS/GDS) for Lunar Trailblazer are the responsibility of IPAC on the Caltech campus, with Mission Design and Navigation at JPL. Lunar Trailblazer is using the AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) and Open MCT software developed by NASA JPL and NASA Ames, respectively, for DSN connectivity, commanding, telemetry displays, and telemetry storage and trending. Lunar Trailblazer is a target-driven mission, and the science planning system for target selection and scheduling is a custom Postgres database for target tracking. This paper describes the ground systems for LTB and their development, with special attention paid to contributions by undergraduate interns.
