This paper describes the strategy of the NASA astronomical program that would follow if observations were performed from a Lunar Outpost. Contemporaneous observations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum are the underlying strategies of this astronomical program. To conduct these observations, Spacelab, Explorers, suborbital programs, Great Observatories, and Space Station Freedom are utilized, along with unique moon-based astronomical facilities. It is concluded that addition of the evolutionary facilities studied for the Lunar Outpost element would increase the sensitivity and angular resolution of the astronomical program by orders of magnitude.
