Chapter 1 briefly described the reasons for returning to the Moon. The reason, in mission planners’ parlance referred to as drivers, include science, technology, exploration, and exploitation. For each driver there are a number of mission objectives, many of which were identified by the committee of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Strategic Roadmap Meeting (SRM) held at NASA Headquarters in February 2005.
