This is the link to this challenge.https://grabcad.com/challenges/nasa-challenge-an-advanced-lightweight-lunar-gantry-for-operations-allgoMy Concept is based on a hamster ball or Zorb ball ( the one you use in water activities). This should be a compact design which store the balloon and the roller. The idea is, as soon as the balloon being inflated. the UPPER part will be push up, causing the solar panel to open until totally inflated. At the same time the LOWER part will spread (Roller) until its final shape. We have a two part hereUpper part: 1. Storage / holder of the balloon2. Hoist motor is located3. Solar panel for hoist motor4. Solar panel for the Balloon air pump 5. Balloon ( transparency is just a for presentation)Lower part1. Roller (can rotate)2. Air tank3. Air pump4. Motor for the wheelsPlease note that all dimension, size, material strength were not based on lunar setting. I'm not sure also if the volume of the balloon will fit inside enclosure and if the balloon will support the Lunar Lander. This is all based on my personal ideas only.Please see the you tube link for the video.
