Science experiment by low-cost small lunar intelligent lander

Abstract

Science experiment on the Moon with the small intelligent lander is under study. Despite of small mass badget for science instrument, short mission life without long-lived survivability, and limitation of landing site on the lunar near side, small mission can provide an opportunity for landing at the most desirable site for its objective. It will be also a good testbed of technology demonstlation for future lunar and planetary missions. We present here the small lunar lander mission and its science payload proposed.
