Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significant potential for exploration of space, particularly the Moon, where rovers are often unable to mobilize adequately. This paper explores the operational viability of UAVs in the lunar environment by evaluating several flight parameters, such as thrust performance, stability factors, and flight trajectories. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosphere, meaning UAVs cannot rely on aerodynamic lift for flight and must be propelled instead. In this paper, we model a UAV’s desired trajectory and demonstrate these operational characteristics using MATLAB simulation for a UAV. The goal is for UAVs to exert thrust control, navigate a UAV to the desired trajectory, and deploy energy-efficient systems to stabilize flight. Understanding the UAVs for lunar exploration in upcoming space explorations will be beneficial. It expands the way to exploration in an autonomous environment and scientific contextual data collection on the lunar surface in the future.
