This is a concept of CSTART's CLLARE Lunar Lander. The lander is a work in progress and this only depicts the basic structure and fuel tanks. The lander frame is made of lightweight extruded aluminum box sections. The lander is powered by hypergolic propellants and is capable of taking one astronaut from lunar orbit to the surface and then back to lunar orbit again. During the ascent from landing the legs are dropped away to save weight.
Sitting on this would be one hell of a ride.
