Scientific paper

The COSPAR Symposium on 'Astronomy and Space Science from the Moon', held at the COSPAR/IAF World Space Congress in Washington (on 31 August-3 September 1992), ended with a session on 'Scenarios for lunar bases and observatories'. A panel discussion was organized to address specific topics: Precursor astronomy missions; Launch, landing and transportation systems, technologies; Site selection and emplacement, resource utilization, architectural considerations; Link with space stations, and Mars exploration programs; Human aspects, performance, protection, operations and activities; Protection of the lunar environment; and Biospheres on the Moon. The panel discussion, coordinated by B. H. Foing (F) included in particular contributions from Drs. Matogawa (Japan), R. M. Bonnet (ESA), H. Balsiger (CH and ESA representative), P. Bochsler (CH), S. Volonte (ESA), W. Mendell (NASA), W. Sadeh (USA), R. Manka (USA), B. Burke (USA), M. Rougeron (CNES), V. Bluem (Germany) and from the general participants. We give here a summary of these discussions. We also include additional information for assessing the perspectives for Lunar based activities after the COSPAR symposium.
