Good day.

Have passed this link before and even though the papers in it date to 1984 it is a starting place to look at going back to the Moon.

Lunar Bases
and Space Activities of the 21st Century

Papers from a NASA-sponsored, public symposium hosted by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., Oct. 29-31, 1984 edited by W.W. Mendell published by The Lunar and Planetary Institute http://www.lpi.usra.edu/ Houston

I copied a snip from the Table of Contents for the Lunar Base Concepts section.

I am wondering if these items would be of interest to look at more in depth?
I also added it to the links section of my web site.

Maybe I could develop some pictorial representations and add them to the reports section as well.

Some folks like reading, some looking at pictures, and others just like to listen. Have not done anything with audio or iPod down loads but anything is possible in this digital age.

During the Lunar Prospector mission there were some 3600 readers on the lunar-update list. Since the mission ended in July of 1999, the list has slowly settled to now only 901 readers.

Some of you have been with me from the beginning and some of you are recent readers. The list is moderated to cut down on the amount of spam that now hits e-mail lists. Postings to the list from non-members bounce and I delete them. If you have ideas or topics you would like to hear more about, just send them directly to me. I can pass to the list with comments or not as seems fitting. If you think others might be interested in the topic of going to space let them know they are free to join the list. Here to serve.

Thanks for looking up with me.

The Lunar Base Handbook (Space Technology Series) (Paperback) by Peter Eckart (Author)

Book Description

Lunar Base Handbook provides an overview about the Moon and its environment, the current status of lunar base design, tools we need to design a lunar base, checklists and flow charts that outline the design process, and technological requirements of a lunar base.

The main audience for this book is engineers, but it is also interesting for scientists, managers, lawyers, undergraduates, and high school students, and readable for the interested layman.

Cover illustration: two inhabitants of the Moon overlook an advanced lunar installation from a museum construction site. The original, primitive lunar base lies to the left of a large electromagnetic launch facility, which dominates the vista. An array of solar dynamic generators on the horizon supplement the power from a nuclear reactor to operate greenhouses, industrial processing plants, scientific research laboratories, and a spaceport.
