SMARTIE (Smart Resource Management based on Internet of Things to support Off-Earth Manufacturing of Lunar Infrastructures) is an ESA study to assess the requirements, architecture, hardware and software needs and costs for implementation of an Internet of Manufacturing Things (IoMT) for a lunar human base and associated infrastructure. 

Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) are rapidly approaching market-readiness, with numerous partly-autonomous and teleoperated systems either under development or already performing operational demonstrations for applications such as bathymetric surveying (SEA-KIT Maxlimer, Deep BV), maintenance of offshore installations (Thales Halcyon), and commercial shipping (Yara Birkeland, Maersk VISTULA-Class).

Previous ESA Studies, such as the LUNA study 'Artificial Analogue Concepts for Preparing Robotics and Human Exploration on the Moon' identified gaps in European infrastructures to simulate surface operations with lunar soil (simulant) in a vacuum. There exist several vacuum chambers or terrain models such as the coming EAC LUNA facility which can be used for testing equipment either in a vacuum or on a simulated lunar terrain, but not both.

This project concerns the proof of concept, design and construction of the first micro-incubator to enable biologists to optimise cell and tissue culture conditions and to get as close as possible to real-life physiological and pathological conditions. In the past, there has not been a mobile and autonomous biomedical device allowing both incubation and observation under multiple conditions in real time.

The main objectives of this study were:
- To carry out thorough analysis and modeling of the anomalous gravity fields expected from lunar lava tubes and other types of void spaces, of various sizes and depths. This work was carried out by geoscientists from Queen’s University.
- To define the mission and system-level requirements for this exploration mission, derived from the scientific analysis of those expected gravity signals, and specifying feasible mission and system-level designs, for a mission to scout the Marius Hills pit crater.

In this report we document the development and deployment of an individual hopper intended as a precursor survery mission for planetary exploration.

The DAEDALUS mission concept aims to explore and characterise the entrance and initial part of lunar lava tubes within a compact, tightly integrated spherical robotic device, with a complementary payload set and autonomous capabilities. The mission concept specifically addresses the identification and characterisation of potential resources for future ESA exploration, the local environment of the Moon's subsurface and its geologic and compositional structure.

 This study investigated the semi-autonomous exploration of a lunar skylight cavity.

CRANE is a study commissioned through the OSIP lunar caves Campaign that examined the possiblity of using a crane to investigate lunar caves via lunar pits. The crane would be mounted on a rover that would need to be placed close to the pit.
