A conceptual study is conducted on selection of experiment missions and lunar surface experiment systems to conduct scientific experiments at manned lunar surface sites, which are regarded as advance posts for verifying the feasibility of human activities and lunar resource utilization. The 22 lunar surface experiment model missions selected from the whole space utilization missions are roughly classified as follows: (1) lunar exploration mission; (2) life science mission; (3) material production mission; (4) 1/6 g mission; (5) high-vacuum application mission; (6) astronomical observation mission; and (7) radiation environment utilization mission. The results of the system review on experiment site locations, pressurized environmental testing system, lunar surface experiment systems (nearby module experiment section and remote spot experiment section), system resource analyses and operation are outlined. Interfaces between lunar surface experiment system and subsystems constituting manned lunar surface sites, material experiment flow chart of pressurized environment experiment system, nearby module experiment and remote spot experiment sections, resource analysis and technical problems in developing lunar surface experiment systems are presented.
