Verification and Validation of a Conceptual Model of the Auto-Rigging Payload Handling and Off-Loading System Using LEGO Technic System and Three-Dimensional Printed Parts A conceptual model (CM) can be used to validate a concept in modeling and simulation life cycles. During the 2020-2022 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, for employee safety NASA implemented center closures and mandatory telework for the entire workforce. During this challenging time, engineers and researchers at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) looked for safe and innovative approaches and methods to continue the development of CMs for various projects. Engineers and researchers at LaRC researched Auto-Rigging Payload Handling and Off-Loading System (ARPHOLS) for payload handing and off-loading a system on an inclined lunar lander deck. In this paper, the development of a CM and the verification and validation of a conceptual idea for ARPHOLS using a LEGO Technic system and three-dimensional printed parts is presented.
