Abstract

The Panel discussion at the end of IAC 2011 session 2B (Moon exploration) will summarise the presentations made at this session from the various oral contributions: the ESA lunar lander mission, its system concept, payload element; NASA's robotic lunar lander project update; autonomous hazard avoidance and precision landing, navigation techniques for pinpoint landing, rock studies in Moon-Mars analogue, advanced mobility concepts for planetary exploration, Canadian rover prototype; Korean lunar lander demonstrator and from relevant posters. There will be a discussion how these various development efforts can be coordinated to support a global robotic village (along the ILEWG model), with science and technology, as well as prepare future steps for combined robotic and human exploration. This will take lessons from the global fleet of orbiter missions (SMART-1, Kaguya, Chang' E1 and 2, Chandrayaan-1, LCROSS, LRO, GRAIL). We address here the background and community recommendations for this ILEWG global robotic village.
