AbstractThe COSPAR Symposium on “Astronomy and Space Science from the Moon”, held at the COSPAR/IAF World Space Congress in Washington (on 31 August–3 September 1992), ended with a session on “Scenarios for lunar bases and observatories”. A panel discussion was organised to address specific topics: Precursor astronomy missionsLaunch, landing and transportation systems, technologiesSite selection and emplacement, resource utilisation, architectural considerationsLink with space stations, and Mars exploration programmesHuman aspects, performance, protection, operations and activitiesProtection of the lunar environmentBiospheres on the MoonThe panel discussion, coordinate by B.H. Foing (F) included in particular contributions from Drs Matogawa (Japan), R.M. Bonnet (ESA), H. Balsiger (CH and ESA representative), P. Bochsler (CH), S. Volonté (ESA), W. Mendell (NASA), W.
