Scientific paper

Selected aspects of the eventual development of lunar exploration leading to the establishment of a human outpost on the moon are discussed. Possible means of spacecraft propulsion and guidance on an earth-moon trajectory are examined, together with likely means of telecommunications, including by laser and lunar-orbiting communications satellites. As yet unexploited orbits in the earth-moon system are pointed out, and the necessity for the increased use of computerized robots for surface navigation is discussed. Favorable locations for a habitat site, particularly the lunar poles are also considered. Implications of the availability of extraterrestrial resources for materials processing techniques and food production in the lunar environment are then indicated.
