In view of the fact that NASA and ESA are both planning to set up a Lunar Base for long duration missions on our neighboring celestial body, collecting more information about the Moon will be inevitable — not only global information but also details of potential landing sites. On that purpose, several planetary scout missions will be conducted in the near future. The probes will carry robotic lunar landers as well as ground vehicles. Based on these contemplations, the REZ has started to develop a standardized Micro-Mission-System for future robotic missions to the Moon and Mars, consisting of landing stages, rovers, and orbiters for both missions to the Moon and Mars. Our first development will be a rover system for operations on the Moon.
