Popis: Lunar Exploration and Utilization become the major trend in the world space development, in these couple of years. As the follow-on project of SELENE, we had studied the first Japanese moon lander as SELENE-B from 2001. In SELENE-B, the exploration of the vicinity of a central peak of a crater, and the sure obstacle avoidance and safe landing were the major mission objectives. Corresponding to the new world trend for international Lunar exploration, we have expanded our mission purpose and research targets from lunar science to lunar exploration and utilization. For these extended mission purposes, severe technological requirements should still be solved for the implementation of these new missions. The lunar lander has to detect obstacles, such as crater or rocks, and land at the safe area. After the landing, the investigation will be done on the very rocky and rough terrain. The lander system will be requested to survive against the very low temperature (around 80 K) during the Lunar night. This paper reports the current studies on these technological subjects for the future lunar base.
