Abstract

The importance of development of a rover to confirm directly the existence of ice on the lunar polar region is discussed. For a rover working in the shadowed area in the bottom of a crater, a power-supply system using a laser beam from the edge of the crater is proposed. A small system model is fabricated to demonstrate that the system can be realized.
