LunaLight is a rover capable of reflecting solar rays with the help of hexagonally arranged mirrors. It has total reflective area of 10m^2. It will have battery compartment to store energy using solar cell and will be consumed during locomotion operations and additional lighting. It will be equipped with sun sensor at its center of the mirror plate which will help to orient it towards appropriate angle to reflect sun rays. Whole reflector part can be enclosed within the given space of base, so it can be protected from moon dust. The reflector can change its orientation to any direction because of 5 dof arm. One of the special feature of this concept is it change its shape to behave as a concave mirror , thus can focus light to a specific target. The light intensity can be increased to 7times.
