Aurora: Lunar Surface Power Plant
One of NASA’s Lunar Infrastructure goals is to develop an incremental lunar power generation and distribution system that is evolvable to support continuous robotic/human operation and is capable of scaling to global power utilization and industrial power levels. Achieving this mission will require …

Scalable and Sustainable Microwave Power Beaming to Mobile Lunar Surface Assets
Lunar missions are hindered by the challenges of maintaining continuous operation, especially during the 14-day lunar night, when solar power sources may be unavailable, causing significant mission delays and limiting efficiency. Frequent returns to charging stations supplied by fixed lunar surface …
