A strategy for using a Space Station as a lunar transportation node is described. One possibility is to use the Space Station for both launch and recovery of the lunar spacecraft and crew. The approach examined here is to launch the lunar spacecraft and crew from the Space Station; but, on return, the crew would go directly to the earth surface in a capsule, while the lunar spacecraft would slowly rendezvous with the Space Station. This approach retains the major advantages of the Space Station as a transportation node but eliminates or greatly reduces its major disadvantages.
