LSIC Maintenance and Repair for Sustainable Lunar Surface Infrastructure Workshop

The Lunar Maintenance and Repair Workshop aims to explore the critical role of maintenance and repair (M&R) in sustaining lunar infrastructure, such as lunar lander and rovers, while drawing lessons from extreme terrestrial environments.

The workshop will cover various M&R technologies, the design of maintainable systems, logistics and actionable practices for implementing repairability across the project lifecycle, as well as astronaut integration in early lunar operations.

Key themes include certification standards, repair vs. replace trade-offs, nuances between planned maintenance and responsive repair, and the role of M&R in enhancing system reliability.

This workshop is critical, as it provides a forum for addressing the unique challenges of lunar operations and fostering collaboration on solutions that ensure the longevity and functionality of lunar infrastructure, essential for long-term human presence on the Moon.
