Animation of a conceptual Lunar mission for the Tall Lunar Tower (TLT) robotic in-space assembly system. The landing, deployment, and operation of the tower assembly system is shown. A successful tower assembly and solar power payload is depicted at the lunar south pole. The video is intended to convey how an engineering development unit (EDU) demonstrated at NASA Langley Research Center may look when operated on the Lunar surface. The EDU models are shown in place of flight hardware. The animation was produced by the Advanced Concepts Laboratory with models provided by the TLT team.
