Manned lunar base activities may support one or more of three basic objectives: scientific research, the exploitation of lunar resources to manufacture a space infrastructure, and the establishment of a self-sufficient lunar base that can serve as a springboard toward long term planetary exploration. The present analysis gives attention to the commonality that may exist among the operational requirements of the three stated goals, as well as the degree of dependency of later developmental phases on the technology and systems development efforts of earlier phases.
