Efficient commercial operations in space will necessitate the remote selection of sites for operating facilities as well as for transportation routes for vehicles, supplies, equipment, and resources. A method for choosing a least cost path for an oil pipeline in the Former Soviet Union, which has lunar and planetary applications, is described here. The prototype least cost analysis for pipeline routing was performed using remotely sensed satellite imagery of the Earth and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis. The work was performed and funded by Bechtel Corporation and NASA, John C. Stennis Space Center, Commercial Remote Sensing Program, under a Domestic Nonreimbursable Space Act Agreement.
