Description: 

The APPS study work focusses on the critical technologies required to provide both servicing and support functions to a seismometer payload located on the lunar surface. Although the baseline payload (and by extension the reference mission) has specific requirements, the technology focus of the study allows the outputs to be of broader application to exploration missions to the moon and beyond.
