Beginning with Artemis III, NASA plans to deploy science instruments on the moon near a South Pole landing site. To extend lunar science operations, an EVA compatible LESSH Battery Charger Module (BCM) enables recharging and hard-line data transfer at the modular GFP Interface Bank on the Human Landing System (HLS) or other Artemis vehicles. The LESSH BCM provides an ergonomic interface for astronauts to connect instruments to HLS power and data interfaces. The BCM provides battery charge monitoring and enables data transfer via a flexible harness. LESSH-Placed is an instrument package that can be deployed by astronauts and re-charged via an Artemis vehicle, enabling extended science operations.
