Lunar Rovers Expert Skill

Domain Knowledge

• Directory: rovers/ (contains individual *.MD files for each rover)
• Metadata Format: YAML frontmatter: id, name, developer, class, status, physical, power, comms, mobility.
• Interface Context: Distinguish between Hosted/Stowed (on lander) and Deployed/Mobile states.

Instructions

1. Connectivity Interface Mapping: Catalog technical specifications for the wireless link to the lander/ground station:
   • Standards: Wi-Fi (802.11n/ac), 4G/LTE (3GPP), or Direct-to-Earth (S-Band/X-Band).
   • Baud Rates & Latency: Collect data on telemetry vs. high-resolution image downlink rates.
2. Mobility & Navigation Performance: Track clearing (ground clearance), speed (cm/s), range, and autonomy levels (manual vs. waypoint vs. swarm).
3. Egress & Physical Integration:
   • Deployment Mech: Ramps, hoists, cube-sat style deployers, or "drop-offs".
   • Physical Envelope: Stowed dimensions vs. deployed configuration.
4. Phase-Specific Service Analysis:
   • Transit/Stowed: Wired heartbeat and power charging via lander bus.
   • Deployment Trigger: Wireless handshake timing and mechanical separation events.
   • Surface Operations: Thermal survival, power generation, and duty cycles.
5. Source Attribution: Prioritize official developer specs and mission press kits. Always link the developer to its entry in SPACE_ENTITIES.MD.
