Master of the Moscow Aviation Institute Egor Mishin presented a project for a lunar transport platform (LTP), which will allow the movement of cargo between the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) and the lunar base. This device is capable of carrying up to 10 tons of payload to the Moon and returning from it up to 5 tons of resources and research results. LTP is planned to track the distance between the ROS orbit and the lunar base.
The developed device is a deep modernization of the DM upper stage, which received enlarged tanks and solar panels. Additional docking devices allow fuel to be pumped into the main tanks and the vehicle is equipped with attitude control thrusters. This project opens new prospects for lunar exploration and resource transportation.
