Abstract
Two general computer programs were developed during a recent preliminary power-system design study of a Lunar Mobile Laboratory (MOLAB) for NASA. A digital computer optimization program determines a minimum weight fuel cell primary power system for MOLAB, given the manufacturer´s basic fuel cell data and various system constraints. An analog computer representation determines continuous transient and steady-state performance of the MOLAB fuel cell power system and electric locomotion system, for various driving modes and lunar surface conditions.
