As part of a larger global vision for human-lunar exploration, DLR and ESA are jointly constructing a lunar analogue facility, named LUNA. This facility shall provide capabilities for astronaut training, engineering, and…
scientific research to a wide range of users. As such, the facility is not limited to human factors research but shall also support the development of robotic and lunar infrastructure systems for the exploration of the moon. The LUNA facility will support the simulation of lunar extravehicular acti
vities (EVAs) at the highest possible fidelity. Therefore, all systems developed for such EVA simulations, including the Sunlight Simulator system, shall be designed to operate to a high fidelity and in support of end-to-end EVAs and roboti
