Future elements of concept simulation:
13. Arrival of Manned CEV to Lunar Surface and Transfer to Lunar Lander
14. Entry, Decent and Landing to Lunar surface
Other Concepts:
Single Truss Rack
Description: Single truss rack with ballest tanks for dynamic balance adjustment for cargo. Nuclear-electric ion engine, no solar panels due to the RTG reactor generatering the electrical power. Unresticted cargo size with shuttle/iss type docking attachments for cargo on the sides, top and bottom of the truss.

New Sintering Excavator Rover
Description: nuclear-electric powered, drive-over type sintering capability with duel purpose bucket at the front used for shoveling lunar soil into the front of the rover for extra weight for increased grip when excavating soil to cover the lunar habitat, when not needed the soil can be droped out of the bottom. The bucket when turned over also acts a leveling tool to work in conjuction with the sintering process. For backup, a top mounted, rotatable solar array with mirror magnification, the mirror can also be used when sun in on the horizion. Telescopic pan cam mounted on top with stereroscopic cameras. Independant dampened suspension with four-wheel drive like that used on the mars rovers allowing for on the spot turning.
