Project Description:
Project LILI (Lunar Infrastructure & Landing Innovation) is a conceptual framework aimed at enabling a sustainable and scalable lunar economy through targeted infrastructure improvements. The project focuses on the development of compacted regolith landing pads to mitigate the danger posed by ejecta during landings, thereby protecting nearby assets and infrastructure. In parallel, LILI integrates dual-purpose surface beacons that communicate with landers to reduce landing positional uncertainties and with rovers to enable precise local navigation, improving mission safety and repeatability. By integrating these solutions, the project supports commercialization efforts through the provision of reliable landing infrastructure and surface-based power services for future lunar operations.
