An outline of our present knowledge of the composition and internal structure of the Moon and of its surface environment is given in so far as it may affect our ability to establish a lunar base, and to define objectives for investigations to be carried out there. An outline of the methods to be used in such work is also presented. It is stressed that the main objectives of the first lunar laboratory should be an investigation of the vertical structure of the surface to a depth of 100 - 1000 meters by direct methods (drilling), and down to its center by indirect methods, in order to provide a three-dimensional extension to two-dimensional prospecting of the surface from orbiting spacecraft.
