NASA Challenge: Super Heavy Logistics Transport for the Moon and Mars

grabcad

This idea consists of two “legs” on each side that will support the Common Habitat,“a large, monolithic payload measuring 15.6 meters in length, 8.4 meters in diameter,and massing just under 100,000 kg.” These legs can support the weight dividing it between the 4. The legs move along a mechanism that contracts and expands (adjustable mechanism) for payload grapple and release. The bands or wheels slide with the adjustable mechanism retracting, giving space for the load to be delivered. The "arms" release the load by rotating. To have enough energy the proposal uses a solar panel above the Common Habitat which is attached to some “arms”. The arms are 8, 4 on each side. The transport can change from bands to wheels. It can be teleoperated from Earth because the proposal is electronic and does not need astronaut assistance.Thanks for this new challenge!
