| ID No : | 606 Edit | Title: | NASA Constellation Program Office Regions of Interest on the Moon: A Representative Basis for Scientific Exploration, Resource Potential, and Mission Operations |
| Summary / Review : | "The current United States Space Exploration Policy emphasizes a human return to the Moon as a location near the Earth where the nation can learn how to work and live on a planetary body. Major goals for this program are to: extend human presence to the Moon to enable eventual settlement; pursue scientific activities that address fundamental questions about the history of Earth. the solar system and the universe - and about our place in them; test technologies, systems, flight operations and exploration techniques to reduce the risks and increase the productivity of future missions to Mars and beyond; provide a challenging, shared and peaceful activity that unites nations in pursuit of common objectives; expand Earth's economic sphere, and conduct lunar activities with benefits to life on the home planet; and use a vibrant space exploration program to engage the public, encourage students and help develop the high-tech workforce that will be required to address the challenges of tomorrow. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is conducting engineering trade studies to develop lunar transportation architectures, lunar surface system concepts, and lunar surface scenarios."
