NASA's new vision to return humans to the Moon is the next practical step in expanding human habitation beyond Earth. As the Habitation 2006 Conference website states: 'new knowledge and new technologies are required.' Along with the development of new habitation systems, an important consideration is how to transport these heavy structures cheaply to the Moon? We propose the use of ultra-low-energy orbits in the Interplanetary Superhighway as an economical and effective means to deliver cargo to the Moon. This approach not only reduces the propulsion cost, but also provides enormous flexibility and robustness to the mission architecture.
