That sure is an ambitious project... it is much more difficult
than a satellite in earth orbit.
The issue you are facing is that a spot on the moon will receive
sunlight for 14.5 days and then will
be in darkness for 14.5 days. During the sunlit period it will
bake in the sunlight to temperatures
of 120C, during the dark period it will cool down to -150C and below.
It will be required to catch and store energy during the sunlit
days and have enough of it in
batteries to heat the spacecraft to temperatures where it will not
be killed during the nights.
Professionals can fall back to nuclear energy, but that is
unpractical for amateurs.
It will not be easy... Good luck!

This may not be very appropriate for the topic

In that case, please turn it off.
The Packet Radio Users' Group in Japan is now planning to install a
repeater or transponder on the moon.
Anyone familiar with space engineering?
Please contact us. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
