It is presently noted that the moon furnishes a stable and radio-quiet platform for astronomy and space physics, as well as a source for such materials resources as Si, Al, Fe, O, Mg, and Ti, and a base for low cost interplanetary exploration. Attention is given to a vehicle designated the 'Lunar Geochemical Orbiter', and it is recommended that the prospective NASA Space Station's structural modules be designed for lunar as well as orbital use. Further, design studies should be initiated for a manned orbital transfer vehicle (whose propulsion system may be nuclear).
