The Japanese concept of the Lunar Mobile Explorer (LME), a robotic rover which employs second generation space robot technology, is presented. A single launch of H2 rocket will be used to send the rover to the lunar surface. An expendable lander is designed for this mission. After landing at a flat ground near the equator, the LME starts exploring tour toward polar region. It performs precise mapping along the touring course, collection of geological data, analysis of surface and subsurface materials, experimental processing of resources and technology demonstrations. The LME is equipped with an autonomous navigation and steering capability which is mounted by a human operator on the Earth for monitoring and teleoperation. The following are described with regard to the LME: mission requirements; landing point and tour route; vehicle system; system configuration; mass allocation; power constraints; driver guidance; navigation; locomotion mechanism; mission devices; communication; power; and development status.
