Lunar Boom Town/Remote Rover Operation

Will these partially free engineering efforts produce architectures, interface control documents, and/or components of potential use in prototyping lunar rovers?

Mars mobile projects:

• Mars Mobile Laboratory[1]
• Manipulation arm for Mars Mobile Laboratory[2]
• http://marsrover.engin.umich.edu/index.html An ongoing college based tem leading Michigan's efforts to help design a Mars Rover for the Mars Society.

• History of Mars prototype at the Mars Society.[3] potentially a good example for distributed Lunar Boom Town prototypers using 3D Modelers and engineering expertise to conceptualize Lunar prototypes.
