[1][a] The reason for building the LCRT on the far side of the Moon would be to avoid interference faced by radio telescopes on the Earth's surface.

[2] The LCRT concept eliminates the need to transport prohibitively heavy material to the Moon and utilizes robots to automate the construction process.

Instead of using thousands of reflective panels to focus incoming radio waves, the LCRT would be made of thin wire mesh in the center of the crater.

[2] DuAxel, a robotic concept being developed at JPL, is composed of two single-axle rovers (called Axel) that can undock from each other but stay connected via a tether.

[2][11] Another concept, that reduces both cost and complexity by almost half, is using a Lift Wire Deployment and Anchoring System for LCRT, as shown in picture.
