Abstract

The paper presents proposals to create a lunar radio-optical navigation beacon based on the light-emitting diodes with the selenodesic reference points. Introduction of the semiconductor emitters in the infrared (0.85 microns) and ultraviolet (0.24 microns) ranges makes it possible to improve reliability in the beacon signal reception and take the measurements both in the day and nighttime intervals. As a device in creating such beacons, the paper proposes to use a two-component penetrator equipped with a thermoelectric generator to convert thermal energy into the electrical energy due to the temperature gradient in the lunar regolith and a heat pipe connecting the penetrator bow and the tail parts to ensure higher heat transfer. Technology to create such a beacon system for long-term operations under the lunar environment is analyzed.
