Present and past space system studies involve the definition of major future large space systems in the area of communication, energy and others for which the material must be transported from the ground into space for construction and assembly. The studies indicate the mahor cost impact of transporting these required large quantities of material from Earth and the potential environmental impact of large numbers of heavy lift vehicle launches through the Earth's atmosphere. The paper attempts to provide pertinent and readily usable information on the extraterrestrial processing of materials and manufacturing of components and elements of these planned large space systems from pre-processed lunar materials which are made available at a processing and manufacturing site in space. The activities at the space manufacturing facility consist of final processing of the incoming pre-processed material to commercial grade raw material and of performing a series of large scale manufacturing processes which would include the following products: large structures to support energy generating and large communication systems in space, large area solar cell blankets, radio frequency generators and electrical equipment. Required facilities, equipment, machinery, energy and manpower are defined. (Stoehr)
