In the course of the exploration and settlement of the moon, robotic missions will precede and accompany humans. These robotic missions are defined respectively as precursors and adjuncts. Their contribution is twofold: to generate information about the lunar environment (and system performance in that environment), and to emplace elements of infrastructure for subsequent use. This paper describes information that may be gathered by robotic missions and infrastructure elements that may be deployed by them during an early lunar program phase.
