An overview of the NASA lunar base program which would establish a permanent beachhead on the moon is given. The lunar base would be used to attain science and astronomy objectives, to manufacture lunar-derived resources (particularly propellant oxygen), to support the growing space infrastructure, and to develop and test technologies that would enable near self-sufficiuency in space, limiting the amount of resources required from earth. Research concerning lunar base development, modeling and simulation are presented, including modeling engines, data bases, and subsystem transforms.
