quality of equipment. These results will help to determine
whether the operation is fulfilling the objectives, has defi-
ciencies, or is going beyond being successful. The indicators
must be measurable, understandable, and controllable.
Examples of some aspects to be measured with the idea
of performing a better control of the operation:
• Workforce tracking and location.
• Radiation Exposure
• Oxygen Saturation
• Heart Rate
• Map Visualization
• Cost Control
• Simulation (EZ-RASSOR)
• VR capabilities
• Wireless Mesh testing
• Overall Communications Testing
• Emergency response
• Geopositioning
• Topographic update
• Dust levels
• Production times and delays
• Equipment monitoring, utilization, performance,
and efficiency.
• Traffic control
• Drilling &Blasting system performance.
• Excavation System
• Maintenance time and availability

Supervisory Post
For the observation and control of the Lunar surface opera-
tions, a building dedicated for supervisory tasks is suggested.
Even though at an advanced stage of operations many pro-
duction units will be autonomous, there will most likely be
a need of human intervention to make quick decisions and
visually verify the safety of the work. Starting on the surface,
mining will gradually go underneath to add protection for
personnel and equipment. The supervisory outpost must
comply with a minimum set of characteristics: comfortable
interior for operators located on high ground a panoramic
window for visual confirmation of activities at the portals of
